The Firestone Roadhawk, a summer tyre, received a rating of 59% on our site. You can view more about its performance on the Firestone manufacturer’s page. The tyre’s strengths lie in its fuel efficiency, though it displayed weaknesses when tested on dry roads and in rainy conditions, resulting in increased wear. In the ADAC test, the Firestone Roadhawk held the last position out of 17 tyres. Even more concerning was its 30th position out of 51 in the Autobild test. Therefore, while it offers some advantages, it has significant room for improvement, particularly in dry and wet conditions.

In conclusion, although the Firestone Roadhawk and Laufenn S Fit EQ+ LK01 have similar ratings, the latter tyre is stronger in both dry and wet conditions according to the test results.
