Ranked #6 of 20
Securing the 6th position out of 20 participants, the Firestone Roadhawk made a notable impact with its performance, being awarded a final rating of 'Good'. The tire was celebrated for its brand quality, sporting a dynamic handling that impressed, alongside its short braking distances on dry surfaces which underscored its efficiency. Its value for money was another highlight, offering a budget-friendly option without compromising on performance. However, it wasn't without its shortcomings; the tire was marked down for its increased rolling noise, a factor that could affect overall driving comfort. Despite this critique, the Firestone Roadhawk demonstrated commendable qualities, positioning it as a competitive choice for drivers seeking reliable performance.

Ranked #20 of 50
Finishing 20 out of 50 competitors, the Firestone Roadhawk demonstrated a commendable performance in the summer evaluation. Earning a final rating of 'Good', it stood out for its excellent handling on dry roads, lightweight and efficient nature, and minimal tyre wear, making it a strong choice for drivers prioritizing these factors. However, its performance was not without drawbacks; it was criticized for its imbalance and notably inferior wet road handling, which ultimately affected its overall score. The tyre's safety on wet surfaces was only deemed satisfactory, with shortcomings in aquaplaning resistance and braking distances. Despite performing well in certain tests like aquaplaning, it struggled to provide the same level of grip and handling in wet conditions, leading to a satisfactory evaluation in this area. Additionally, its environmental impact was somewhat marred by its predicted mileage being rated only satisfactory. This was attributed to its performance in road wear and fuel consumption, which, despite being considered good, did not compensate for the lower score in tyre longevity.

Ranked #9 of 16
The Firestone Roadhawk secured the 9th position out of 16 competitors, exhibiting a commendable performance with notable strengths and some limitations. It was praised for its good grip on dry roads and its relatively low wear rate, which are critical aspects for drivers seeking longevity and stability in their tyres. Additionally, it stood out in specific disciplines, leading the pack in dry braking and wet circle cornering, showcasing its specialized capability in crucial safety scenarios. However, its performance was not without its challenges; it exhibited weaknesses in wet handling and was marked as the loudest tyre in its category. These factors slightly diminished its overall appeal but did not overshadow its positive attributes. Ultimately, the tyre received a final rating of 'Satisfactory', reflecting a balanced view of its capabilities and areas for improvement, making it a recommendable choice for consumers looking for a reliable option in dry conditions while being mindful of its performance under wet conditions.

poor
Ranked #17 of 17
Finishing 17th out of 17 competitors, the Firestone Roadhawk found itself at the bottom of the rankings with a final evaluation of 'Poor'. This tyre struggled significantly on dry roads, with its performance being barely satisfactory. In warm conditions, its grip was greatly reduced, leading to challenges in maintaining control. Even more concerning was its behavior on wet surfaces, where it demonstrated below-average grip levels. Large steering angles were required to navigate the handling course, and grip often completely failed when braking or accelerating in turns. This substantial flaw in handling not only affected its overall performance but also its safety on the road. While its noise level during operation was average, and it performed relatively well in terms of fuel consumption, these positives were overshadowed by its high wear rate and poor handling, particularly on wet surfaces.
