Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk 2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk (2026)
Also compare with
The Roadhawk 2 leads on aquaplaning and efficiency; the original Roadhawk still wins on dry confidence.
Firestone currently offers both the Roadhawk 2 and its predecessor, the Roadhawk, in its summer passenger lineup — and the overlap is temporary rather than strategic. The Roadhawk 2 is the direct successor, designed to move the nameplate forward, while the original Roadhawk remains available as a value option with its own distinct test history. Choosing between them means understanding what each generation was built to do, because their strengths have shifted in ways that are not always obvious.

But if you value dry road confidence and consistent all-round performance backed by a longer test record, the Firestone Roadhawk remains a more predictable choice, with strong owner satisfaction and proven dry handling that the newer model has not yet matched across the board. The Roadhawk 2 is the better tyre on paper for modern use cases; the Roadhawk is the safer all-round bet for drivers who spend most of their time on dry or lightly wet roads.
