Our take

The Firehawk AS V2 is a strong contender for drivers who prioritize dry road performance above all else. With perfect scores of 10 for both dry grip and handling, it stands out in the performance all-season category. However, its wet grip score of 7 is slightly below the category average, which could be a concern for those frequently driving in wet conditions. This tire's 50,000-mile treadwear warranty and a treadlife score of 9 indicate a reasonable lifespan, although its UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is below the category average. Comfort and noise are on par with category expectations, making it a viable option for daily driving without sacrificing too much comfort. When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, which offers superior wet grip, the Firehawk AS V2 might not be the best choice for those needing strong wet weather performance. However, for those who primarily drive on dry roads and value handling and grip, it's a compelling option. If you drive frequently in wet conditions, consider the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 for better wet grip. Otherwise, the Firehawk AS V2 is a solid choice for dry performance enthusiasts looking for an all-season option.

Pros

  • Perfect dry grip and handling scores of 10, outperforming the category averages of 8.4 and delivering exceptional performance on dry roads.
  • Treadlife score of 9 and a 50,000-mile warranty, slightly below the category average but still substantial for a performance all-season tire.
  • Comfort and noise scores match category averages, making it a balanced choice for those who prioritize both performance and daily usability.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance lags behind some competitors, which could be a dealbreaker for those in rainy climates.
  • Wet grip score of 7 falls short of the category average of 7.2, which might be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 offers better wet grip, making it a stronger choice for wet climates.
  • Treadwear rating of 500 is slightly lower than the category average of 504, indicating potentially shorter lifespan under aggressive driving.
