2017-04-24 - Are Firestone Roadhawk tyres Directional as regard fitting, or can they be fitted any way, ie inside out etc.
The Firestone RoadHawk is an asymmetric tyre so can be fitted in either direction, just make sure the "outside" is on the outside of the wheel.
2017-08-14 - I will be needing new tyres in approx. 6 months and wondered if the Firestone Roadhawk is due to be tested this year. It appears to be in my price range, and seems better than most at that price point. I just wondered if anything conclusive has been printed??
All the summer tests of 2017 have been published now, but if you read our launch report there are some figures from TUV which shows the Firestone RoadHawk performing favourably.
2017-08-16 - These firestone tyres have not been tested against a 'good ' tyre such as the Hankook Ventus Prime 3. They have been compared with lesser tyres I believe. And they don't seem to be available with 95 rating only 99 or XL rating. Which I am not looking for as my car has quite hard suspension anyway. Would you think the Hankook tyres would be a better purchase?
I would argue the Uniroyal RainSport 3, Fulda EcoControl HP, Kleber Dynaxer HP3 and Nexen N Blue Plus TUV tested the RoadHawk against, which is covered in the RoadHawk launch report, are good tyres for the sector. Unfortunately I've seen no benchmark for comfort so can't comment on which option will be more comfortable.
2017-09-05 - What is the thread depth of the Firestone Roadhawk 195/65/15 please?
I believe the starting tread depth of the Firestone RoadHawk is a little over 7mm.
2018-06-20 - is the roadhawk 94w run flat tyre?
As far as I'm aware there is no runflat version of the RoadHawk currently.
2019-02-19 - where are the tyres made ?
Firestone and Bridgestone use factories all over the world, you would have to check directly with Firestone for the size you are looking at.
2023-06-03 - How do the Firestone Roadhawk tyres compare to Bridgestone Turanza T005?
There's a number of very in depth tests on the site comparing the T005 and Roadhawk, this is the best currently: Click Here
