I've hated Firestone ever since the 721 debacle but have to admit my OEM Firehawks have been quite satisfactory. On my second set now, my only complaint is they only go about 40,000 miles. When this set is out I'll put my Michelin MXM4's back on. I noticed no drivabilty or performance differences but all my driving is commuting. I do expect a longer life from the Michelins but they also cost more. 2¢
