When it comes to choosing a reliable summer tyre, it’s essential to consider key factors including efficiency, handling, and durability. This review focuses on comparing two notable options, the Nokian WetProof and Firestone Roadhawk models.
The Nokian WetProof, manufactured in Finland, boasts an overall rating of 83%. This tyre has proven itself in many tests, consistently securing a top ten position. In Autoklub ČR's test with 19 tyres, it took the 6th spot. More notably, in an ADAC test and Autobild's massive 53-tyre review, it maintained its 6th and 5th positions respectively. The Nokian WetProof's strongest features appear to be its exterior noise reduction and wet circle cornering. Reviewers praised it for its balance, and impressive performance on both dry and wet surfaces. However, it was slightly undermined by its environmental impact, tread wear, and minor sustainability issues.
On the other hand, the Firestone Roadhawk achieved an overall ranking of 72% in our tests. This tyre did not fare as well as the Nokian WetProof in mutual tests; it took 11th place in both the Autoklub ČR and ADAC tests out of 19 and 18 tyres respectively. Furthermore, in the Autobild test, it found itself in the 13th spot among 53 tyres. Best features highlighted by reviewers include dry handling, wet handling, and wet side guiding. While it fared well on dry surfaces and showed little tyre wear, it was pulled down by its less balanced performance and weaknesses on wet surfaces.
In conclusion, if one were to make a choice between the Nokian WetProof and the Firestone Roadhawk, the WetProof seems to be a stronger contender overall, despite its minor sustainability concerns. It scores better in tests, delivers balanced performance on various surfaces, and demonstrates improved exterior noise reduction and wet cornering. The Roadhawk, while efficient and lightweight with low tyre wear, falls short in wet conditions' performance and overall balance.
