Any views on Firestone tyres

Come on guys, somebody must have these tyres on their cars?
 
Last bump on this.

By the looks of things, nobody buys this tyre brand.
 
Firestone give the guarantee so they sure of themselves.
My experiance they are reasonable tires better on dry than in wet. They also softer so they dont last as long. Not a bad tire for the price normally. Not specific to you spec but at least you have some answer.

I prefer to buy the tyres that are best in the wet and not worry to much about the dry conditions. In the dry most tyres handle pretty well but in the wet I wan't that extra assurance. Years ago I purchased some firestones and they scared the living bejesus out of me in the wet. While I had them Car magazine ran a tire test across several brands and the best performer in the wet was Dunlop SP something, a brand many people look down on. When the firestones came to a end I got the dunlops and they were actually pretty amazing tyres all round, bit noisy & a softish compound so you don't get as many miles out of them but boy could they disperse water and maintain traction.
