Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk vs. Michelin Primacy 4+ vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

When it comes to tyre choice for your vehicle, it's important to consider all factors. We have a comparative analysis here for two popular summer tyres, the Firestone Roadhawk and the Michelin Primacy 4+. Both offer unique selling points, but also come with their own set of pros and cons.


The Firestone Roadhawk tyre, rated 59% by our experts, boasts impressive strengths, including dynamic handling and short dry braking distances. Its sporty profile and valuable price-to-performance ratio were spoken about positively in the Offroad 2018 review. However, its increased rolling noise was flagged as a potential issue. According to mutual test data from Autobild, the Firestone Roadhawk was positioned 12th out of 55 tyres, which is a commendable result. However, it trailed in Autoklub ČR and ADAC's ranking, placing 11th out of 19 and 20th out of 50 respectively.


On the other hand, we have the Michelin Primacy 4+ tyre, which we rated at 77%. This tyre takes a spot in the touring subtype and it is the successor of the Michelin Primacy 4 and Michelin Primacy 3. According to Autobild 2024, this tyre is very balanced, commendably performing not only on dry but also wet surfaces. Furthermore, the Michelin Primacy 4+ has an excellent ecological footprint due to its longevity, which was rated as the best by the aforementioned test. The Primacy 4+ has no noteworthy weaknesses and its mutual test results outshine the Firestone Roadhawk, ranking 5th with Autobild, and reaching an impressive 2nd and 3rd place with Autoklub ČR and ADAC respectively.


In conclusion, each tyre brings something different to the table. The Firestone Roadhawk stands out for its sporty handling, valuable price-to-performance ratio and good dry surface performance. But, it faces some issues, particularly with increased rolling noise and lesser performance on wet roads. The Michelin Primacy 4+ edges ahead overall with its ability to deliver a top-notch performance on both dry and wet surfaces, superior longevity and balanced delivery of features, positioning it very highly in mutual tests.


Please note, individual driving preferences and requirements can influence the ideal choice between these two options. Hence, we recommend considering all the mentioned factors before making a final tyre selection.
