Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV

When comparing the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and the Firestone Roadhawk, a few noteworthy differences arise. Both tyres were subjected to a series of tests by various organizations, including Autoklub ČR, ADAC and Autobild, which revealed their strengths and weaknesses in varying conditions.


The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, a direct successor to the popular Pirelli P7 Cinturato, exhibits an impressive performance. Applicable to both dry and wet terrains, it placed 4th out of 19 tyres tested by Autoklub ČR and 9th out of 17 in the ADAC manual. A strong grip on dry roads, along with commendable mileage and efficiency, contributed to its relatively higher rating - 86%. However, it still needs to address its performance on wet roads and its slight weakness in wear resistance.


Conversely, the Firestone Roadhawk does not come off as strong on the tests. In testing, its position was consistently lower, at 11th and 17th places, in Autoklub ČR and ADAC respectively. According to autobild 2021, there are superb features, such as low fuel consumption, but significant weaknesses are also reported. Its performance on both wet and dry surfaces leaves room for improvement, in addition to above-average wear and tear.


The autobild 2022 summaries reveal that both Pirelli and Firestone's tyres perform well on dry surfaces. Both have shown good efficiency with little wear and tear, although neither is balanced enough on wet roads, resulting in a downgrade in their ratings. While a comprehensive environmental assessment shows some weaknesses, it is essential to note that these tyres still hold significant merits in their respective ways.


In summary, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 generally positions better than the Firestone Roadhawk in the tests due to its higher rating and more commendable test results. However, the Roadhawk remains a decent choice with notable economical benefits despite its lower test ranking. To make an informed choice, it would be crucial to consider individual driving habits, preference, and environment.
