Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 4 tests, 2025 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 94%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 8 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Drivers generally report the Firestone Firehawk Sport delivers strong wet and dry grip with confident aquaplaning resistance, making it feel secure in heavy rain. Many also highlight low road noise and improved fuel economy/MPG versus prior tires, with stable handling and reduced tramlining. A smaller share of reviews raise concerns about faster-than-expected wear or durability on rough/potholed roads, though most feedback remains clearly positive.
- Excellent wet grip and rain confidence (including aquaplaning resistance)
- Strong dry grip/traction and stable handling
- Low road noise/quiet ride
- Improved fuel economy/MPG
- Some reports of faster wear or reduced durability on rough/potholed roads

All 6 Firehawk Sport reviewsI 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 .

Owners most consistently praise the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 for strong dry performance, with around three in five highlighting excellent dry grip and many also noting sharp steering and confident dry handling. Wet grip is generally rated as decent, though opinions are more mixed, with a small but notable group (around one in seven) finding it weaker, particularly in colder conditions. The biggest drawback is longevity: around two in five owners complain of very fast wear. Noise is another frequent issue, with around one in three reporting higher road roar, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Outstanding dry grip and confidence under power
- Very capable dry handling with strong feedback
- Direct, responsive steering feel
- Stiff, sporty sidewalls that support hard driving
- Very short tread life and rapid wear
- Noticeable road noise/roar, especially on coarse surfaces
- Needs heat or a bedding-in period to feel at its best

Label grades are shown as the share of registered sizes carrying each grade, so "B (88%), C (12%)" means most sizes are B. Grades vary by size; check the label for yours.
Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Four shared tests, four narrow wins for the Yokohama Advan Sport V107, and narrow is the word: 18th of 50 against 23rd, 19th of 21 against 20th, 6th of 18 against 7th and 14th of 52 against 15th. One place separates them in three of the four.
The split between them is unusually clean. The Yokohama braked shorter in the dry in all four tests, 34.1m against 35.8m at Auto Bild in 2026, and it held on better through curved aquaplaning in both measurements and won the only dry handling and wet handling comparisons on record.
The Firestone Firehawk Sport braked shorter in the wet in all four tests, and it is the efficient one by a distance: 7.62 against 10.62 kg/t of rolling resistance at Auto Bild, 28.2 percent less, with 5.5 against 5.7 l/100km of fuel at ADAC and less abrasion, 81.1 against 95mg/km/t.
Conclusion
This is the closest comparison you will read. The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 finished ahead in all four shared tests, but by one place in three of them, 6th of 18 against 7th at ADAC, 14th of 52 against 15th in Auto Bild's shootout and 19th of 21 against 20th in Auto Bild's 2025 performance test, with 18th of 50 against 23rd the only clear gap. Its case is dry grip: shorter dry braking in all four tests, 33.8m against 34.6m in the shootout and 34.1m against 35.8m in 2026, plus the only dry handling win on record, 119.7 against 116.9 km/h. It also resisted curved aquaplaning better in both measurements and lasted longer at Auto Bild, 35,890km against 28,860km, which made it 14.8 percent cheaper per 1000km there.
The Firestone Firehawk Sport owns the wet and the fuel bill. It stopped shorter in the wet in all four tests, and its rolling resistance advantage is the biggest single number here, 7.62 against 10.62 kg/t at Auto Bild, 28.2 percent less, backed by 5.5 against 5.7 l/100km at ADAC. It also abraded less, 81.1 against 95mg/km/t, resisted straight aquaplaning better in both runs, was quieter in both noise measurements and was rated more comfortable, 4.3 points against 3.9.
Note that the two value calculations disagree, the Yokohama cheaper per 1000km at Auto Bild and the Firestone cheaper at ADAC, 3.19 against 3.3, so cost is a wash. Choose on conditions: the Yokohama for dry-road pace, the Firestone for wet braking and fuel.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
