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!

I had extremely bald tires. I saw a rebate for a set of four tires from Firestone and decided it was a win-win. I had all four tires installed, and they are excellent. I feel like I'm driving a brand new car; the tires have a nice bounce and I cannot hear significant noise. I am thrilled with them. I also know that because this type of car has two different size tires, the shelf life is cut in half, since they cannot be rotated. However, with the 50,000 mile warranty and coverage that comes with the credit card, I am not concerned.

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!

I've had these on my fwd ford fusion and they blow hard chunks. I was barely able to get going last winter and I have all four leaking air after one year not the installers fault. Sure they handle good on dry pavement, but any sort of moisture forget it.

I have had Michelin Energy Saver and Bridgestone Quiettrack tires since car was new. These Firestone's were less expensive and the ride thus far has been above what I had expected. In the AZ heat for the past 1,000 or so miles, they handle my country road commute great. I hope the construction of the tires hold up better than the previous "low rolling resistance" tires I've had. I've had 5 tires punctured beyond repair in 7 years. Looking forward to 50,000 more miles.

This is the second set of tires that I have purchased. The first set wore down at 30,000. There was no tread on all 4 tires evenly. Had to purchase another set through before warranty was up at a cost of 50% off per tire. The second set of tires are now wearing down just as quick at only 12,000 miles and the tread is at 5mm. At this rate they will be worn down long before warranty. Tires are not quiet at all, very noisy.

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.

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

I bought these at 50000 miles on my odometer. At 75,000 miles 2 of them already had to be replaced. I am at 89k and they are terrible. Extremely loud and low traction in the rain. Will never buy a Firestone brand again.

Replaced my Conti DWS's and couldn't be happier. These stick as well or better on dry pavement and certainly better on wet. If these hold up well to warranty mileage I have my new go to tire for performance AS.
