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
