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.

New tires on a high mileage car

Noticed how quiet the tires were as soon as I left the store. Wet traction has been excellent. No snow to test them so far although the deep aggressive tread looks like it will be effective. Handling has been great on curvy roads. A bit more body roll than expected on a V-rated tire. Learning to trust the tires.

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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.
