Firewak Indy's or Michellin PILOT SPORT 4S?

Any members use either Firewak Indy's or Michellin PILOT SPORT 4S? Your experience with either of these? I know the Indy's are cheaper but some say they are just as good as the 4S? Plan on using them on the stock 19" forged Rays ...

I'd buy the one that better fits your budget. Both are excellent tires for the money. Will these be used at the track?

No track. Just need tires that grip in both wet and dry.

The Indy 500s will do that for you, and they work at the track too.

I've used Indy 500's on my G8-GT for 3 years, best tire for the money out there!
Great in the rain, get them heated up in the summer and they stick like glue.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Just be prepared for a short life with the Indy's. I've had/have several friends run them and with normal driving they seem to last around 20-25K miles. But they love them and their price.

How well tires work in the rain depends on the tire wear rating which also means if they're really good they won't last! I ran Bridgestone turn four's on my Z with a rating just over 100, I could drive 65 in driving rain without a wobble, but they only lasted 10K miles! Checkout both tires with Tire Rack, wear rating s/b at least 200 to last then you can make your own decision! I run Michelin Super Sports, they work for me!

I actually just picked these up in stock sizes for the 19" Rays. Can't beat $600 shipped for something that is supposed to perform well.
