Firestone Firehawk Sport

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.

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.

Good whilst they lasted....5 months from purchase, and less than 4,000 miles later, one nearside tire is damaged / leaking (plus a chunk has delaminated and a crack appeared without any sign of alloy contact), and the rear nearside tire'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 tires on our other cars haven't suffered either (running Toyo and Nexen tires 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 tires 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 tire, so quite what has caused the cracking here is a mystery.

This has turned out to be the most expensive set of tires for the mileage that I've purchased in 40 years, and I'm disappointed as these tires 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 tires are simply not up to the job for whatever reason, and I will be contacting the supplier to complain.

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 .

I bought these to replace Avon tires 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 tires perform similar, I certainly don't have the ability to explore the limits safely.
Very quite tire and my mpg increased.
They don't tramline nowhere near as much as my last tires did.
I've not had them long enough to review wear but so far highly recommended.

Excellent tires for wet roads - no slipping when accelerating / overtaking / cornering, or when hitting unseen standing water, or more generally, bouncing around on poorly-surfaced potholed roads - so well-suited to driving in England this Summer... Also grip well in the dry, and they're quiet at lower speeds - very important for a convertible which came with large, wide alloys and rubber-band tires. Am also achieving more miles per gallon - never seen 33 mpg previously (30 was the best) - so as nothing else has changed, the new tires' construction/composition must be responsible. Plus, they were attractively priced.

Have only driven 1,500 miles so far, but pleased that I took a gamble on tires with barely any reviews available. These are certainly better than previous Toyo Proxes or Falkens, and seem to be more in line with the parent Bridgestone's tire designs (mine are made in Poland, not Italy as the website suggests). I've long preferred Japanese tire designs for their combination of grip, comfort and quietness, although they tend to wear down faster, after disappointing experiences with the main Italian and German offerings.
