I ran Firestone Firehawk SZ50 and loved them.

225 50 16's I believe. The SZ50's are small 225's accourding to Luke.

Apparently they have been replaced by the Firehawk Wide Ovals.

Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Yeah, I'm a believer in the Falken Ziex 512s as a comparable replacement for the BFG KDWs at only 70% the cost!

They are sticky, stickier than the BFG's in straight line traction but handle about the same in my opinion.
So paying $400 for a set of the Falkens versus $600 for BFGs spells end of story.
They also last almost as long as the BFGs, hard to tell though with all this power I put down. LOL
