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.

Firestone Firehawk AS V2 are very awesome!

I just purchased a brand new set of 4 Firestone Firehawk AS V2 tires for my Acura TLX and I could not be more impressed with the ultra high performance of these tires. You can immediately tell when hitting the curves of winding Tennessee backroads of how well these tires handle and grip the road. It is just so much fun! Love these tires and highly recommend them!

Quick Wearing Tires

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.

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!

Better than the Eagle run flats, it came equipped with.

I realize I haven't had them all that long. But so far, they're fantastic. They ride very quietly and the handling is great. I've also noticed about a 2 mile per gallon increase. If they keep performing like they are now, there will definitely be another set in my future.

Firehawk AS V2 BL 235/50R17

Excellent tires I purchased to replace the old tire on the 2014 Ford Fusion. I had never replaced the tires before on the 2014 Ford Fusion. It still had to the original tires on the vehicle when I purchased it in May 2014.

Tire performance and service

Tires meet all our needs. Service was good for installation. No tire shine applied to tires at completion of installation was disappointing. Making a new tire look dull and old.

Good tire

They handle as good as the OEM. Tires. As stated by others the noise seems high on certain surfaces. They handle well in wet conditions so hopefully they are good in the snow.

Pleasantly surprised

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.
