Firestone Firehawk Sport

Summer
Upper-middle
7.3 /10 Conditionally recommended

If rolling resistance is your priority, the Firehawk Sport is hard to beat — it topped the charts. Add short braking distances and low noise, and you get an efficiency-focused tyre that doesn't sacrifice safety basics. Wet handling and aquaplaning are the compromises.
