They're OEM sooo.... not so great. I've never run them but then I don't know ANYONE that put them back on once they wore out.

What you might consider is getting some tires you'll like (TONS of threads with tire recommendations - just search for them) and then keep those Firestones and throw them up on craigslist. You'll probably get about $350 or so, maybe more, maybe not... but at least you'll get tires you like and not pay full price.
