Now that I've had my firehawk 500s for a few months now I guess I'll post up.
Got them for about 500$ OTD and was a quick decision since a tire gave out when I hit a pothole.
Taken them for a few drives up and down a mountain pass which takes about 10-15 minutes one way depending on your pace but these definitely hold their heat well and are very predictable. I came from a set of starspecs to Conti DW to these, definitely not the highest performance but, for the price and rating of these tires, they do their job really well. Really easy to tell limitations very quiet and are fitting for DDing and some spirited runs which is all I do these days.
