Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Firestone ROADHAWK belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

<p>very grippy, not very fuel efficient but that's fair.
40k km and still a lot of tread, probably due to very light car</p>

Finally replaced the rears I fitted in 2019 and reviewed on this site (30/07/2019). After at least 25,000 miles, I got a puncture and changed both as they were getting low on tread. Absolutely fantastic tyres that have surprised me. Took us on a European road trip in August this year (3500 miles) and even at this late stage of their lifespan, were absolutely superb through some seriously heavy rains in Italy and France. Brilliant in all weathers and with some heavy loads, the Roadhawks are up there with the original Bridgestone Turanza ER300 from a few years ago on my all time favourites. Shout out to Firestone for putting together a brilliant tyre that for the price have put it to the big brands every time. I'm a spirited driver and always had total confidence in the Roadhawks to get me there.

★☆☆☆☆

Allways had continental van contact, 100s and 200s never had an accident never have i skidded out or lost control with these tyers drove in thick ice heavy rain there great. Firestone's death traps do not buy for your van, they have no stability and my van wobbles from side to side horrible things stirring is now not very responsive. If you push the tyers with your foot the whole van is wobbling. There coming off as soon as I can afford too. Big mistake if your used to continental van contact the difference is might and day don't make the same mistake I did trying to save 40 euro a tyre , not worth it. Hope this helps as there are not many true reviews out there on Firestone van tyres.
