Verified Purchase

Smooth ride. Good traction.

Grips the road well. My 2020 Malibu rides oot and quiet. Good traction in rain. Hope it's just as good in snow.

New firehawk

I just got these tires a few days ago and I can already tell the massive improvement the new firehawk as v2 have with handling and cornering. I had a pair of the indy500 ones on it when I got it and they were a little old. But I swear these news shows gave the car more life. I love how it handles now.

As good as my dedicated winter tires!

This is going to be a long review and for good reason. These tires have only been out for a few months so there is hardly any reviews out there, so I'm going to be thorough to help fellow RWD car owners that have been in my boat. I own a Mustang GT that I daily drive year round. Some think that's crazy, but even in Omaha there is only snow on the streets for 7-12 days a winter, so why would I not drive the car I love year round? I used to have a separate set of winter and summer tires, but that is expensive so I researched for a better solution. The claims Firestone make on these new V2 tires seemed to good to be true, but I like Firestone so I took a chance. We just got hit with a snow/ice mix and there is packed snow and ice on the streets and these tires performed AS GOOD as my old winter tires. I stopped on a steep hill and was sweating getting started again (the ultimate test), but I got going fine with no traction control kicking in. I'm seriously blown away. I also drove aggressively on dry streets in 29 degree temps and they performed very well, felt firm and very low noise. I can't speak for summer performance yet, but if you have a RWD car and are looking to handle the winter, these tires are for you. Well done Firestone!

MODEL FIREHAWK AS V2

We replaced the original tires that came on our 2018 Buick Regal with the Firestone Firehawk AS V2 tires, set of four. To date, the ride in our car is much smoother and quieter. And it does appear that there is good traction in the rain and snow. Plus, the rebate helped.

Great Tires

Replaced Goodyear tires that where old but still had tread left with these and it's night vs day with these and I definitely like them! My other cars have the regular Firehawk and Firehawk Indy 500 summer tires! They have great traction in the rain and super quiet on the road! Will definitely purchase these tires for other cars when needed!

Firestone Firehawk AS V2

I had to wait several months before the Firehawk AS V2 for my 2003 Mercury Marauder became available in the manufacturers recommended sizes, 235/50/R18 & 245/55/R18. Just had them installed & went for a nice spirted drive on both curvy & flat roads. I'm impressed so far as these tires handle great in the curves and have very good traction on dead stop launches. I'm anxious to see how they will handle in both wet & snow conditions. I've used Firestone tires for over 50 years & they never have disappointed me, great products, thanks. Regards, Mike C.

Overall satisfied

I just bought a set for my Impala and love the handing and the ride of the tire. They do amazing on wet roads. My only complaint is that they are not as quiet as advertised. They are quiet up to 65 mph but have louder hum on the interstate. Over all very happy with them so far

Firehawk AS V2

3rd set of firehawks, 2 previous sets did not last long. Both sets start showing excessive wear at 10,000 & 20,000 miles eventhough tires rotated at 5,000 miles & alignment checked good. Giving Firestone last chance to see if tires do not wear excessive. If they do will not buy Firestone Firehawks again or any other brand

Excessive wear

These tires were advertised to last 50,000 miles but they wear out really quick. On my first 5000 mile rotation, the technician told me 2 of my tires were down to 7?? I did my alignment then do my rotations regularly. I hardly use the brakes. But that did not help me prolong these easily worn tires...What happens if the tires are done at 30,000? Will firestone compensate me my remainder 40%?

Do not buy

Tires are supposed to be a 50k mile tire. They were shot after one year with only 18k miles on them and were rotated every 6k miles. Centers were wore down to nothing and they were not over inflated. Car was aligned when they were put on. Was driven all easy highway miles. Dealer said firestone rep would not do anything about it. Will be the last firestone tire I will buy. I would give them less than 1 if I could.
