Decent question; the "wide ovals" are absolute garbage. The newer Indy 500's are actually just rebranded Bridgestone's and they're really good. As far as tires in their class go, they're unbeatable for both performance and value. The old wide ovals are just okay, at best.

Which is why it surprises me that Clipdat didn't like the new version. Also, I've heard that they are rebranded Bridgestones actually I believe? Might give them a try later this year since I've liked all the Bridegetones I've tried.

Crap yeah I totally mean Bridgestone not BFG! Those two get jumbled in my poor brain sometimes. I'll correct the post
