Firestone MultiSeason Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 10 reviews

Owners most often praise the Firestone MultiSeason for its traction in snow, with dry grip also drawing frequent approval. A smaller number report good grip on ice, while two owners are pleased with tread life and two consider it good value. Around one in five owners criticise wet grip, and a similar share find dry handling wanting, although both aspects also receive some praise. Road noise divides opinion, with roughly equal numbers finding it quiet and noisy. Overall, seven of the ten reviews are positive, with an average owner score of 75.3%.

At the end of the 2 years with these, they've just about hit the snow/ice limit (3mm) and I have to say they have been excellent tyres.
They grip well in the dry, have decent fuel economy and handle well in the wet.
However, in the snow and ice they really shine. They have outperformed my partner's CrossClimate booted car, clambering up our steepish hill to get out our estate with no complaints, where the CC struggled a bit for traction in the snow and ice.
I'm going to replace them before this winter with the Multiseason Gen 02 which look to be just as good

these look like an identical tread pattern to my old firestone winter hawk run them all year round , never gets that warm here in NW ireland.
first time in real snow and ice for a few years and giving me real grip in snow and braking in a straight line in ice i live on ungritted hilly country roads so always have a few miles of interesting driving when winter comes.
but i have found these tryres fine in summer and much better than a summer tyre once the temperature drops

Reasonably inexpensive tires. Good in dry, suprisingly quiet. Required caution on the wet. Atlhough grip in straght line is pretty decent- tire has problems coping with corners and rounabouts.

been using these for two years and had identical looking winter tyres previously.
found no issue running these year round and found no difference between these and summer tyres.
on what little snow and ice we have had recently they have performed very well

I've replaced a set of Michelin Energy Savers with these as they gained some good reviews. So far I've used them in the wet, dry and snow. They have coped well in all the conditions thrown at them so far.
In the dry they perform like a summer tyre, plenty of grip and handle well with no understated. In the wet, they have no problems dealing with puddles and standing water, offering plenty of grip and good braking distances. Where they have stood out is in the snow, they were sure footed with very little sliding.
Overall for the price you pay and what you get, these tyres are a good investment.

Quiet and comfortable. I replaced a Bridgestone T001 for the MultiSeason, dry grip feels about the same, wet grip not quite as good.
