Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk vs. BFGoodrich Advantage vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Continental UltraContact NXT vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Let's have a closer look at the performance, pros, and cons of two popular summer tyres; the Firestone Roadhawk and the BFGoodrich Advantage. These tyres are products of renowned manufacturers, Firestone and BFGoodrich respectively.


The Firestone Roadhawk, in our rating, scored a decent 72%. It stands out for its sporty dynamic handling and impressive dry braking, even earning the best grade for efficiency and low wear in some tests. However, it has been shown to struggle a bit on wet surfaces and has come in 10th position in both the Autobild and ADAC tests among 53 and 16 tyres respectively. Additionally, it has been criticized for its higher road noise, a factor that may affect comfort during long drives.


Switching gears to the BFGoodrich Advantage, we see a slightly higher overall rating at 76%. This tyre excels notably in comfort and dry handling. Its positioning in the mutual tests conducted by Autobild and ADAC puts it slightly behind the Firestone Roadhawk, standing at 18th and 10th positions amongst 53 and 16 tyres respectively. However, it too shares a weakness in wet handling and has a tendency to understeer in such conditions. Yet, it has a plus side, as it has a pleasant, quiet rolling noise and lower rolling resistance compared to its counterpart.


Summing up the overall test results, it's clear that both these tyres have their own strengths. If your preference lies with aggressive, sporty handling and optimal performance on dry conditions, then the Firestone Roadhawk has the edge. However, it's worth noting that if ride comfort, quietness and dry handling rank high on your list, the BFGoodrich Advantage may be the better choice for you. It should be mentioned that both tyres display some weaknesses in wet conditions.


Finally, our verdict is based on a multitude of performance metrics and these tyres offer strong competition to each other. Depending on your specific needs and driving conditions, you would be wise to consider these variables when choosing between the Firestone Roadhawk and the BFGoodrich Advantage.
