Anyone running Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500s?

Hi all, newbie here!

I'm in need of new tires for my '89 IROC. It's wearing the original 16" wheels and I was thinking of getting a set of Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500's pretty much due to their looks. I've never had Firestone tires before and am curious if anyone here has these and what they think of them. My car is no longer a daily driver and now mostly just comes out on pretty days to attend car shows. I'm not concerned about tread life or cold temperature driving. Anyone have these?

Thanks,
Jason

i had them on my crosslaces for a while. They are a good tires for the money, wear well, good performing tire. They are FAR FAR from a high performance tire, but for a street car, they will work well.
