Firestone Firehawk INDY 500

Does anyone here have experience with the Firestone Firehawk INDY 500 tires? I was thinking about getting some for my Expedition.

I will be using them in Southern California, so no snow, hardly any rain, and some towing of a 6500 pound trailer.

Thoughts?

Check the load rating on them. You don't want passenger car rated tires for towing that much trailer. Need C,D or E load rating.

I just put on a full set of Falken S/TZ-04 luxury SUV tires, excellant ride and no road noise and only $74 each from www.vulcantire.com plus $52 to mount & balance @ wallyworld, I ordered them on a fri and they came standard delivery on tuesday, they have a warehouse in PA & Utah, great people to deal with.
