Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Review
IMO, you should have posted in this thread dedicated to the Firehawk:

You failed to mention the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position. Those do come in a 285/30/19 size, as do the Firehawks. But, the Firehawks do not come in a 295/30/19, the size I run in my rears.

Yep they are good, but the price in OZ for 275/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza R003 (same as indy's)= $535. Michelin PS4s $500 same size (PER TYRE). Id love to know where the profits going. I run 245 R003 on the front, and Michelins on the back, just 500kms ago and they grip like sh#t to a blanket.I would recommend the Firestones 500s to anyone ,great review and thanks for all the vids SEE YA.

Just wanted to leave this here for anybody that is looking into these tires. If you have any questions that I didn't cover in the review let me know!

Anyhow I was browsing YouTube and found that Bridgestone has released the successor to the Potenza Adrenalin RE 003 (AKA the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 rebadged here in the U.S.) the Potenza Adrenalin RE 004. Now I don't know what or if it'll be brought over to the U.S. in the form of a Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Version 2?
I ran across a video from Bridgestone Malaysia that was a live stream and discussed the new tire. Now the quality isn't the best as his stream kept getting cut out but it interesting nonetheless to listen. Hopefully this will result in another option for the ISF in the affordable camp as a lot of people who ran the Firehawk Indy 500 tires had nothing but good things to say about them especially for the price paid.
