In a direct comparison, the Debica Presto HP2 and Firestone Roadhawk both have their strengths and weaknesses. The Debica Presto HP2 stands out for its price to value ratio and longevity, but struggles with driving safety. Meanwhile, the Firestone Roadhawk excels in dry handling and wet side guides, but its performance under wet conditions and shorter lifecycle may make it less appealing for some drivers.

Neither of these models has been replaced with a newer version yet, meaning that you can expect both tyres to feature the same qualities and performance as detailed above. All in all, both tyres provide a unique set of features, and the best one will ultimately depend on your personal driving needs and preferences.
