I just mounted a set to my E36 M3 daily driver and will have it at the track this weekend. I've driven just about every street tire out there so I'll be able to provide a good comparison once I get some seat time with them. From what I've read the compound is a Bridgestone compound that is much softer than most other 300+ treadwear tires.

After driving on the tires for 200 miles they are AWESOME, I will post a full review after this weekend as I will be driving the tail of the dragon and the blue ridge parkway. Only bad thing is that I received a bad tire that cant be balanced, so I contacted customer support and they are in training till friday, I will also update on this issue.

Ordered some Firehawks to be installed Monday. Also ordered wheel spacers for me to install. Will give an opinion when I have one--coming from run flats I am expecting significant improvement based on what I have read and am looking forward to how the car feels with my newly installed Dinan shockware.

I just ordered a set of these. I got a nail near the side wall of my left rear tire which Are the stock bstone runflats and it can not be repaired. A set of 4 Indy 500 tires was the same price to replace 1 runflat. Will post review once installed

Anyone noticed they have to turn the steering wheel more to get a response? The car doesn't obey my commands as much with these on.

Yeah I just got mine installed. And I have no problem hooking anymore. I had some offbrand tires that came with the car but now I don't spin at all. I'm also stage 2 e30 bootmod3. These tires are amazing I haven't took it to my backroad yet to see how the fare but from a straight line I'm loving it.

You need to let them break in for 500 miles or so, Steering response feels great to me.

I'm happy to say that one of my RF has a really slow leak and that's good enough reason for me to push to getting some new tires...

Just had one tire replaced due to it being unable to be balanced, customer support was so easy. Possibly even easier than dealing with michelin when I had a sidewall bubble. Car feels great now. I LOVE these tires. Full review coming soon.

Have my tires on now--don't have full review but a little to add. Went in to the install and the manager forgot to order two of my tires and luckily another store nearby had them so a salesman was able to pick them up. And one of my rims was scratched after install, so they get to replace that. I was going to put pics with the spacers I ordered, that I was going to install today, but they have not arrived as planned yesterday.
So, after all this, the tires do look pretty good and meaty. A guy in another 335 pulled in with new Michelin Pilot SS with a flat and parked next to me and in my opinion the Firehawks look better. I find the steering response to be great--no lag at all. The ride coming from RF's is improved and the noise level is less. Haven't cornered other than a freeway off ramp so that opinion and pics will be later. And I have not hit rough road yet to really feel the difference. Total price ended up being $600.14 including road hazard and a new rim.

I know you guys have been patiently waiting for my pics and here they are with 12mm, and 15mm spacers added. I've already gotten a few compliments with one person saying, those look like race car tires."
Nobody can believe I paid $600 for these.

1 month and 500 miles with these and I'm very disappointed and the reason is that the response of the car feels so blunted now. Before these tires, the moment I moved my steering wheel the car would immediately responded to this, this made twists and turns around the mountain roads so much fun as I could leave both hands on the steering wheel and just enjoy the car. Now with these tires it's impossible to drive around twisty roads with both hands on the wheel without taking them off in order to spin the wheel more to get the car to turn. I feel very disappointed.
