Looking at a recent test by Autobild, the Firestone Roadhawk excelled in dry and wet handling and had a respectable performance in wet side guidance.

Overall, it secured the 10th position among 53 tyres tested.

The ADAC test further put these two filters to the test. Here the Firestone Roadhawk succeeded in dry braking and wet circle cornering but it struggled with handling on wet surfaces, making it the loudest tyre in the test. Overall, it came in 9th position among 16 tyres tested.

However, some drawbacks were noted. The tyre's the higher than average cost was seen as a minus. This, in addition to the excellent handling, short braking distance and high mileage culminated in Goodyear's strong showing in our tests as evidenced bye its 87% rating.
