Where each model sits, what it is tuned for, and how the models trade off
Firestone is Bridgestone's value brand, and its current summer car range is short and clearly split: the Firehawk Sport is the sporty UHP option for drivers who want sharp steering and dry grip, while the ENLITEN-based Roadhawk 2 is the everyday touring tyre built for class-leading wet grip, longer mileage and low rolling resistance.
