Have I told you about these tires?

These Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP's? Sure I have. So let me tell you about them again. It's 50 degrees and raining steadily in east Tennessee, truly miserable weather. Should be treacherous driving too, but these tires act as though it's not even raining. Yes, they'll hydroplane in standing water at speed and, yes, I can torque them loose in 2nd gear (hey, there ARE limits). But cornering, it's almost as if it wasn't raining at all. These tires are beyond amazing, folks. In the wet, these tires defy reality. No, I don't own any stock in Firestone (thank goodness, I would think, with all their recent troubles), I just want to sing praises for a truly amazing product. Maybe I'll get better mileage out of them this time around, but it's times like this that I don't really care about mileage.
