The Firehawk Indy is the new price/performance king. Nothing is going to touch it.

You'll be disappointed in the grip, and happy about the noise and wear. Just depends on how you drive your car.

I saw a guy at the track with an M4 running 325 rears with 285 fronts Indy 500's and he was having a freakin blast always on the grip limit and these suckers were holding to the abuse. He was running -3.1 camber and 0 toe at the front.

Also told me he was having way more fun and progressing more is driving thecniques with these vs the Nankang AR1's he was using last year

Thanks for reviewing these tires.

I like that the GMAX RS appear to have symmetrical treads. So they should be able to be switched from side to side to get even wear on inside/outside shoulders. They are also 4lbs lighter per side than the PS4S (285/35/19 size).

And $400 savings against PS4S. Looking really attractive!

indeed. It will likely make its way onto my m2 sooner or later to be a replacement street tire for my contis. Then RE71R's or RS4's for the track.


Just an FYI for any Canadians out looking for Gmax's, Canadian tire has really good deals on them and the warranty is pretty decent too. It cover the tire if it is punctured and if it is bad enough you get a free tire, the plan is like $8/tire so pretty cheap.
