The Best Touring Tyres for 2025 Tested

6th of 7 tyres

Best rolling resistance of any tyre tested and predictable handling characteristics with no nasty surprises.
Poor straight aquaplaning performance, longer wet braking distances than the class leaders, and below average comfort scores.
The Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN shows promise with its efficiency focus, but falls short in too many key areas to challenge the leaders. While safe and predictable, it lacks the all-round performance needed in this competitive segment.

Top 3 Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN Reviews

Given 88% while driving a Jaguar XJ 2006 2.7 D Sovereign (255/40 R19) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles

So far, so good,... Very good. Mainly highway with some spirited drive. Only 4000 km so far in 4 different countries. Very happy with the tires. Handling and comfort are excellent (well, it's a Jag), but the noise is dependent on the asphalt and psi in the tires.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Ecosport (205/60 R16) on for 10,000 miles

Perfect tires.
Nothing to do with its predecessor.
Highly recommended...

Given 87% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2d 190hp (255/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles

I bought a set in sizes 225/45/18 and 255/40/18 last year, just after they came out on the market. I was a little skeptical, but I took the risk.

The tires are very good. I would say they are quite similar to the Bridgestone Turanza. They are comfortable, and the handling is very good. Braking and handling on a wet highway during a summer rain are excellent. As for wear, I can't say yet—I only used them last summer for around 10,000 km.

In my opinion, they are an excellent touring tyre
