Well I'm just surprised that no one has written "I had them and they just wouldn't grip in the corners, etc." I don't think that's going to happen. In fact, one review on another forum said they're "one step away from drag slicks" when it comes to stickiness.

If that were true, you'd also be hearing those same folks indicating "they pick up small pebbles" and "my paint job is getting little chips in it from flying pebbles projected forwards and backwards", ???. I have yet to hear that issue about the Firestone Indy 500s, but know a few in NorCal who run them and seem to like them.

Agreed. What I'd really like to read is one of the Kirkham bros. post a message starting with "We had nothing to do today so we decided to compare a set of Firestone Indy 500's against the Avons on a closed track...."
