In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Firestone (70%). In this particular case, the Michelin Primacy 5 has a better rating of 84% compared to 80% of the Firestone Roadhawk 2. The first tyre test of Michelin Primacy 5 was done in 2025, 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
Primacy 5 and the
Roadhawk 2 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Michelin Primacy 5 dimensions has A wet grip rating. Most (98%) of the Firestone Roadhawk 2 also have A wet ratings.
