Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk vs. Uniroyal RainSport 5 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV

We will be comparing two summer tyres, the Firestone Roadhawk and Uniroyal RainSport 5, both rated 72% by our experts. We aim to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model to assist you in your tyre decisions.


The Firestone Roadhawk is a product of Firestone, a company renowned for its traction and durability in tyres. It has proven to excel particularly in relation to dry handling and wet side guide, giving it an edge for summer use. Interestingly, in the Autobild test, the Firestone Roadhawk positioned 10th out of 53 tested tyres. Notable pros include sporty and dynamic handling, short dry braking distances and a good price-performance ratio. Conversely, the tyre has a slightly increased rolling noise, as noted in Autobild 2019 and 2024 test summaries.


On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 by Uniroyal, performs exceptionally well under aquaplaning conditions both longitudinal and cross. However, tests indicate that it exhibits a somewhat spongy ride behaviour and limited side guidance on dry surfaces. It gained the 5th position out of 19 tyres in 'Autoklub ČR' test and 19th out of 53 in Autobild test. Additional pros include good aquaplaning qualities and safe wet handling. But on the downside, the tyre has been marked down for its handling on dry surfaces, effectiveness and sustainability, low tread life and high fuel consumption according to 'autoklubcr 2023' summary.


Based on the data supplied, both tyres deliver strong performances in specific areas. The Firestone Roadhawk demonstrates consistency in handling under both dry and wet conditions, while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 excels under aquaplaning conditions. However, the overall position in tests slightly tilt in favor of the Firestone Roadhawk due to lower noise and better performance on dry surfaces.


In conclusion, depending on your driving conditions and priorities, either the noise efficiency, better performance on dry conditions and value of the Firestone Roadhawk, or the Uniroyal RainSport 5's excellence in aquaplaning conditions could make each an appealing option.
