Performance Analysis

Firestone Firehawk Sport - Official Image

Across six summer tests, the Firestone Firehawk Sport shows a clear efficiency-centric profile with class-leading rolling resistance in every appearance, translating to strong fuel economy but at the expense of dynamic wet and dry performance. It occasionally delivers mid-pack handling/braking (notably in 2023 tests) and decent comfort/noise, yet results deteriorate versus the latest 2025 competition, especially in wet handling/braking and value/wear. Overall standings average 10.2, with one strong 4/11 finish offset by several lower placements, including 20/21 in a full 2025 Autobild test.
