any suggestions on the Indy 500 Firehawk tires??

[gordita]

I just got a quote from my local firestone dealer for two sets of tires

1) Indy firehawk 500's : 215/65/15
Total with 4 tires, mounting n balancing and road hazard = $350
with lifetime wheel alignment = $120 additional.

2) Affinity LH30 : 215/65/15
Total = $355
with lifetime wheel alignment = $120 additional.

so, I'm thinking of going with option 1.
should I also purchase the lifetime alignment?

how often do u guys do your alignment?
I've already had my CRV for 1.5 years and am going to keep it for the next 7-8 years, no doubt.

what do u think about the tires too?

any suggestions/ideas/rants ???

Thanks
