Firestone TZ300 Reviews - Page 2

Given 84% while driving a Mazda MX5 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 8,000 spirited miles
Whilst not having a charismatic name these are an excellent mid range buy. Price good and good value for the money. Performance perfectly good for normal and spirited road use. Not tried on track so cannot speak for them there.

Brilliant tyres.

Installed a full set of 4 tyres the morning before a trip down to Newquay, Cornwall (250ish miles from Birmingham).

I'll be breif: Extremely quite. Extremely 'sticky' (good grip). After 800 miles (after getting home) they barely look used.

They do seem to help eat up the petrol though.

Would definately recommend.

I didn't realise how bad my old tyres were until I got these. Where I used to struggle to get out of my works junction without wheelspin (0-50mph needed ASAP) it became very difficult to spin. Highly recommended, best value to performance tyre I've experienced to date.
2000 miles in and they look like they've just scrubbed in.

Changed complete set from budget to these and the difference is entirely tangible - especially in the wet! I'll never go back to budget tyres!
