The tyre stood out with its dry driving behavior, safety, and wet braking. In the Autobild test, it was ranked 3rd out of 51 compared tyres. However, Firestone Roadhawk has not been replaced by any newer model.


On the other hand, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance performed exceptionally well with a stellar overall rating of 88%. It ranked 8th in Autoklub ČR test, where its dry handling was especially appreciated, and 12th in the ADAC test with the best features being aquaplaning (cross) and aquaplaning (longitudinal).
