Firestone FR710

The Firestone FR710 is a balanced choice for drivers seeking a reliable touring all-season tire. Its 65,000-mile treadwear warranty aligns with the category average, making it a dependable option for those focused on longevity. The tire's wet grip score of 7.5 surpasses the category average, providing confidence in rainy conditions, while its comfort and noise ratings both meet benchmarks, ensuring a pleasant ride. In terms of dry grip, the FR710's score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.8, which might be noticeable for drivers who occasionally push their vehicles harder. The tire also carries a B temperature rating, indicating it may not handle heat as effectively as competitors with an A rating, such as the Continental ProContact TX. When compared to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers superior dry grip, the FR710 positions itself as a comfort-oriented tire rather than a performance leader. This makes it suitable for long-distance commuters who value a smooth and quiet ride over maximum grip. Drivers in extremely hot climates or those who prioritize dry grip for spirited driving might want to consider alternatives like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers better performance in these areas.
