Comparison: Firestone Multiseason 2 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2

Constructed in Italy, the Firestone Multiseason 2 has an overall rating of 60%. ADAC places it 8th in test rankings out of 16 tyres, while Autobild ranks it 16th out of 32. Salient points to note from Autobild's summary are its low weight and impressive fuel efficiency, although it does report weaknesses on dry roads, slightly substandard wet-handling, and a merely satisfactory predicted tread life.

On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, made in Romania, boasts a slightly higher overall rating of 67%. It ranks 2nd on the ADAC test out of 16 tyres, and 14th on the Autobild test with a total of 32 tyres. Autobild's review praises it for its precise control on dry roads, excellent aquatic handling, and secure winter performance, despite a comparatively high weight and the shortest projected tread life of all tested tyres.

If we focus on the tests' results, it's clear that the Pirelli tyre consistently outperforms the Firestone tyre. Despite falling short in terms of tread life and weight, the Pirelli's performance on dry and wet roads, combined with its stable winter handling, makes it the superior choice overall. On the contrary, while the Firestone tyre comes out on top for low rolling resistance and fuel efficiency, its deficiencies in handling and average predicted lifetime make it less commendable in comparison.

Currently, neither of these specific models have been replaced by newer versions, which signifies that they are still popular and highly competitive choices rubber compositions for different driving conditions.

In conclusion, while both the tyres have their specific strengths and drawbacks, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 emerges as the standout performer in terms of versatility and overall performance in a greater variety of conditions.
