Firestone Firehawk AS V2

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.
