Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP users inside...
Hey guys,
I'm looking to replace the stock F1's on my car with the Firehawks. I'm looking for any info you can give me. Good, bad, or otherwise. Do they have a rim protector bead? And is it me or do they look narrower than other tires in the same size (275/40R17)?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dave

They're an EXCELLENT street tire. You really can't lose with them. They do look thinner than most other tires though.

I went with the 275's and didn't look back I put 'em on my car about a year ago. They're awesome!

Went from BFG KDs to SZ50 EPs because of the wet traction. The BFGs were downright dangerous at 4/32 in the rain. The SZ50's are do well in the rain. The ride is much harsher yet the tires feel mushy compared to the KD's when pushed to extremes. They are a pretty good tire for the price. Next time around I might go with KDWs instead.

You would probably be much happier with the KDW's if you do much wet weather driving.
As for the topic; I had a set of SZ-50's on the 97 and was really happy with them. I would buy another set in a heartbeat if we weren't a BF Goodrich dealer.
