FIREHAWK SPORT

I came from a hankook ventus s1 evo3 . But they had pretty bad dry cracks even before the tire ran out of life . I have 245/35/20 tires . the comfort on the firestones are a little bit worse then the hankooks . i could run the hankooks on 2.5 bar , these on 2.3 for the same comfort . i think the firestones are a bit more fuel efficient , even when they are on a lower tire pressure . Dry grip is very good , never lost any traction , even in the rain . aquaplanning is also very good , never had any feel of losing controle .
So far i ran the tires around 15.000 km and lost 1.5mm out of the 5.5mm tread on the front , and only lost 0.5 on the back . so i think ill get aroud 60.000km out of it if i switch them every year . Found out they have like 0 traction on snow , keep that in mind .

They handle well, have good wet grip and excellent dry grip for my slow car however the wear was quite fast.
Although they are very reliable all the way to the wear limits, would only buy again if fitting to a car I don't drive much.

Good whilst they lasted....5 months from purchase, and less than 4,000 miles later, one nearside tyre is damaged / leaking (plus a chunk has delaminated and a crack appeared without any sign of alloy contact), and the rear nearside tyre's rim protection has cracked. I'm very annoyed; the previous Toyos I had fitted - identical specification and a similar soft rubber - experienced exactly the same local roads / potholes for over 4 years without issue, plus the tyres on our other cars haven't suffered either (running Toyo and Nexen tyres for 5 years and 7 years respectively, the latter on a very heavy 4x4).
I can only conclude that whatever material used is far too soft to deal with the state of English roads - which is not much help if you live here. Needless to say, I avoid potholes whenever possible or driving in the gutter, keep tyres at the correct pressures etc. The picture uploaded is the most concerning as there is no damage to the alloy / sign of impact to the tyre, so quite what has caused the cracking here is a mystery.
This has turned out to be the most expensive set of tyres for the mileage that I've purchased in 40 years, and I'm disappointed as these tyres seemed great at the outset in respect of handling/grip in the wet and lack of noise - my two chief criteria. I can only assume that these tyres are simply not up to the job for whatever reason, and I will be contacting the supplier to complain.

I bought these to replace Avon tyres that had cracked too much after 18 months and I'm impressed so much I went the next week and got same but in 275/35 fitted to the rear, wet grip is excellent, pretty much feels dry.
I live in Scotland so wet grip is the most important performance to myself as in the dry most tyres perform similar, I certainly don't have the ability to explore the limits safely.
Very quite tyre and my mpg increased.
They don't tramline nowhere near as much as my last tyres did.
I've not had them long enough to review wear but so far highly recommended.

Travelled around 7000km with these tires now, they are really great. Excellent properties in the wet while also quiet and grippy in dry. Good rim protection, appealing tread pattern. No negative aspects so far.
