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!

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.

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!

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.

Excessive wear

These tires were advertised to last 50,000 miles but they wear out really quick. On my first 5000 mile rotation, the technician told me 2 of my tires were down to 7?? I did my alignment then do my rotations regularly. I hardly use the brakes. But that did not help me prolong these easily worn tires...What happens if the tires are done at 30,000? Will firestone compensate me my remainder 40%?

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!

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.

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.

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!
