In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Falken) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Falken summer tyres are slightly better rated (71%) than
Firestone (70%). In this particular case, the Firestone Roadhawk 2 has a better rating of 80% compared to 66% of the Falken ZIEX ZE320. The first tyre test of Falken ZIEX ZE320 was done in 2025, compared to 2024 when was the Firestone Roadhawk 2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
ZIEX ZE320 and the
Roadhawk 2 were tested. See more mutual tests below. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
ZIEX ZE320 is made in Turkey and
Roadhawk 2 is made in Italy.
