Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 10 reviews
Overall, drivers rate the Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 very highly, praising its confident all-season performance-especially strong wet grip, secure winter traction (including snow/ice), and good stability. Several users also report solid tread life and strong value for money, with many saying they would buy again. The most recurring downside is increased road noise, and a smaller minority report poor hot-weather/dry braking performance and faster aging after extended use.

Used in multiple road conditions and seasons, can't say I am really displeased about them, they are fine for the price, decent grip and pretty good fuel economy. During rain you can really estimate the limits of the tire and the car, however these tires are not suited for heavy winter weather, such as ice or snow, the tire, despite its tread, is struggling to find grip and getting the car rolling is quite a difficult task and at medium to low speeds, during said conditions, the car becomes unstable; didn't have enough courage to go faster as the car was feeling like a sled.
Overall they are pretty good if where you live it doesn't snow a lot, they can handle cold temperatures and rain completely fine and summer driving (you must pay attention to braking distances during summer as the tire becomes really soft), as long as you don't overplay your hand too much. Very good on fuel and cheap to buy.
The tires were mounted on a VW Passat B7 Variant 2.0TDI 103KW, 6-speed manual transmission, front wheel drive.
