In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (
Maxxis) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Firestone summer tyres are slightly better rated (70%) than
Maxxis (58%). In this particular case, the Firestone Roadhawk 2 has a better rating of 80% compared to 54% of the Maxxis Premitra HP6. The first tyre test of Maxxis Premitra HP6 was done in 2026, compared to 2024 when was the Firestone Roadhawk 2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Premitra HP6 and the
Roadhawk 2 were tested. See more mutual tests below.
