For me its been a set of OEM tires on a 2000 Sentra SE. They were Firestone Firehawks GTA-02. They were as loud as A/T tires on a truck, hard riding like an off-roading tire, and driving in light rain above 40 MPH was a white knuckle ordeal. Heavy rain, stay home.
A perfect example of a tire made for the sole purpose of rolling a car off the assembly line and onto the dealers lot, and nothing else.
At less than 3K miles, I had grazed a curb while doing a three point turn on a back street. I got out to see if I scuffed the wheel; no damage at all to the wheel, but the minor bump peeled a chunk of the sidewall. Firestone wouldn't replace the tire, so I went and bought some Zeon ZPT's.
