Not made for comfort.

I can't review the durability of these because I only have 3000 miles on them. But I will say they are noisy and a rough ride. My car's a sports/luxury sedan and with these tires it drives and sounds like a truck. Handling I'd say is a 3 and traction in the rain is a 4, on a scale of 5. Hopefully the durability out weighs everything else.

Very nice ride

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.

Tire overall aspect

Great design and well made They are a little softer than most which helps on the bumps.mileage is the same no change and I would definitely know if there was I watch the gas and mileage between gas fills.very quite ride just make sure you have a quality shop install them and check the valve stems for leaks tires are great just make sure your installer is just as great that is wear the problem starts with a bad balance or install otherwise the tires are excellent and do what the are supposed be boasting Firestone makes a great tire ....not a 721 of the past if you recall in the 80s the tires are made very precisely and are great products bravo with all the competition that is going on bravo

The Most Quiet Tire I've ever bought

I didn't originally want this model of Firestone. I went to my local tire shop with a different Firestone model of tie in mind, but the Salesman said trust him that I would love this AS V2 model. He was NOT kidding! These tires took about 30 dB (decibels) of Cabin noise out of my car. I have to play a book on tape while riding b/c it's so quiet, it might lull me to sleep. My gas mileage is better, too! Went from a 46-48mpg average to 48-51mpg average. My already comfortable car is even nicer due to these tires. Grip. These will handle a corner like nothing I've ever bought in the past. RE: the 1 star review I read before posting this review.... Possibly you had a bad experience b/c your car may have been out of line, or you forgot to rotate them, or possibly it's just the brand of vehicle! Who knows... This is the 2nd set of Firestones I've bought in 5 years for my 2 vehicles and they won't be the last!

Needed A set of all seasons for winter, glad I got these.

I recently purchased my Wrx last April and its been a wonderful car. I live in Wi though and was looking for a good set of performance winter tires and theres not a ton of options for my factory tire size. Decided to go with these since it was the only name brand tire I could find that could be mounted and balanced for under $1k. These tires are actually pretty impressive, recent snowstorm made these tires shine. Get up and go, no problem, stopping about what you would expect. Ice they do not handle well, but not many tires will without studs. If you're looking for a performance tire that can handle winter, these are it.

Great Tire!

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with these tires. I've been loyal to Firestone/Firehawk for years on my Dodge Challenger, and the traction on these is superior! My attempt to "get loose" starting out in standing water was met with disappointment as the tire grip was strong to the pavement! Midwest winter driving will put these tires to the test, but am once again happy with my choice!

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.

In the door/out the door

Though I began on Sunday, August 30, 10 o'clock in the morning, I did not complete my search for tires until until Friday. However received the tires at store Saturday morning out Saturday afternoon. Do I have to drive a few more miles to get to that that station? I get decent treatment even good parentheses. Now let's talk about the tire brand . fire stone is hard to be they have been for years and years. I have a Mercedes Benz and and I love the brand. Good day doll Don . Oh, How do I answer the question of how the tire performs when this is my first time using these type of tires. And of course your computer won't let me out until I complete it. Period... that's why the straight down the middle rating!

What a Difference

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.

These are junk so far

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.
