Firestone - summer tyres 2024 - market overview, tests, reviews
On our platform, we have handpicked a selection of Firestone summer tyres based on the most recent and comprehensive tests. These evaluations offer thorough insights into their performance, providing you with valuable information to make an informed purchasing decision.
The **Firestone Firehawk Sport**, an Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre, featured prominently across multiple tests in 2023. According to SportAuto, this tyre achieved a rating of "very good" due to its excellent wet braking, reliable wet grip, and stable, well-balanced performance on dry roads. However, it showed some deficiencies in aquaplaning during cornering. Autobild’s assessment also recognized its agile handling on dry surfaces and short braking distances in both wet and dry conditions. The tyre’s exceptionally low rolling resistance and competitive pricing were highlighted, although it presented average aquaplaning capabilities and delayed steering response, especially under wet conditions.
Next, we have the **Firestone Roadhawk 2**, which garnered a "highly recommended" rating in a 2024 Autozeitung test for its overall solid performance. This tyre is designed to offer reliability and safety, though specific strengths and weaknesses were not detailed in the test report.
The **Firestone Roadhawk**, another popular model, underwent various tests in 2023 and 2024. Although it was replaced by the updated Roadhawk 2, the original model still performed well in evaluations. Autobild awarded it a "good" rating for its dynamic handling, short dry braking distances, and good value for money, despite noted drawbacks like increased rolling noise. In an ADAC test, the Roadhawk was praised for its dry road performance, efficiency, and minimal wear, while receiving criticisms for its balance and wet road performance.
By offering insights into these selected Firestone summer tyres, we aim to equip you with the necessary details to choose the optimal tyre for your driving needs.
