The Firestone Roadhawk 2 is a shining example of a tyre that has gone through multiple tests, showcasing its reliability and adaptability. As a successor to the original Firestone Roadhawk, this model has appeared in several automotive reviews, performing consistently under different conditions. In 2025, it earned a "satisfactory" rating in both an Autobild test for size 215/55 R18 and a Tyre Reviews evaluation for size 225/50 R17. However, it stood out with a "highly recommended" rating in a 2024 Autozeitung review for size 225/45 R17, signaling its excellent balance and performance across various terrains. Notably, the Roadhawk 2 is recommended by manufacturers for electric vehicles, praised for its aquaplaning resistance and driving dynamics.
Another prominent model is the Firestone Firehawk Sport, a member of the ultra-high-performance (UHP) category. This tyre has not been preceded by an earlier generation and supports a modern design intended for dynamic driving experiences. Evaluated in several tests, the Firehawk Sport displayed prowess in both dry and wet conditions. In a 2023 review by SportAuto, the tyre was rated "very good" for its wet braking and overall reliable performance. However, like any tyre, it does have its challenges. The Autobild 2025 comparison for size 245/35 R19 marked it with "satisfactory," pointing out its limited wet handling and braking capabilities. Nevertheless, its excellent steering response on dry roads, combined with superior comfort and low rolling resistance, make it a competitive choice in the market.
Both the Roadhawk 2 and Firehawk Sport exemplify Firestone's commitment to delivering robust and versatile summer tyres. Whether for everyday vehicles or more performance-oriented machines, these models are crafted to meet a spectrum of driving requirements.
