In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Finland (
Nokian). Generally,
Firestone summer tyres are slightly better rated (71%) than
Nokian (69%). In this particular case, the Nokian WetProof has a better rating of 66% compared to 60% of the Firestone Roadhawk. The first tyre test of Firestone Roadhawk was done in 2018, compared to 2019 when was the Nokian WetProof first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autoklub ČR 2023 205/55 R16 test, where both the
Roadhawk and the
WetProof were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 93% of Firestone Roadhawk dimensions has A wet grip rating. Most (100%) of the Nokian WetProof also have A wet ratings.
