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.

Wet Traction

I wanted to put a few thousand miles on these tires in order to give an informed review. I researched tires for several months and kept coming back to these due to their hydroplaning resistance ratings and the science behind the tread design made sense. I commute to work about 400 miles per week in the Tampa Bay area where daily heavy downpours are pretty common. I could not be more impressed with the wet traction. Dry traction is excellent as well, noticed an immediate improvement in handling over my previous Firestone All-Seasons, which were a good tire. I have seen some reviews that complained about them being noisy, but I have not found that to be the case at all. If they make a size to fit your vehicle, buy them.

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!

Love my new Firehawk tires,just returned from Florida to Pa.1100 miles each way,the trip was safe and efficient,33miles to a gallon.Heavy rains ,winds and some freezing and still felt secure. Firestone has never left me down.I will continue to buy these for the life of my vehicle. Thank you Firestone.

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!

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.

So Far So Good

The tires are noticeably better in turns than in my previous Michelins. They have a comfortable ride and good road grip. We will see how they fare through the winter.
