"Go with the Goodrich, the Firestones have a hard tread compound and
thus
last
longer, but handle like crap and give little traaction....!

-Glad to see you are so opinionated, however you better check some
information first.
First off, the Firestone Firehawk SS20's do not have a hard tread
compound making them last longer,
but are built with Uni-T technology which increases tread life,
handling, and noise, with no
adverse effects on the tire. Unfortunately, this is patented by
Bridgestone/Firestone, and
cannot be found in any other tire in the world.
  Secondly, in skidpad tests, they perform better in dry and wet weather
than BFG, Goodyear,
and Dunlop. Do you want the test results.
  Sounds like you had a bad experience, but the facts I have are
different from your opinion.
