When it comes to purchasing new tyres, ensuring you purchase a model that offers high performance and safety is crucial. In this review, we are going to take a comprehensive look at two popular tyres: the Firestone Roadhawk and the Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde.
Let's start with the Firestone Roadhawk, a product crafted by globally renowned Firestone. Overall, this tyre ranks with our rating of 72%, making it a reliable and steady performer. In mutual tests, this tyre performs remarkably well, securing 5th place in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres. What's more, in the 2022 Autobild ranking, this model impressively claimed the 3rd spot among 51 tested tyres. Firestone Roadhawk's strengths include dry braking, wet circle cornering, dry driving behavior, and notably, it's safety. However, a few reported downsides include less efficient handling in wet conditions and the tyre being somewhat the loudest in the test.
Moving on to the Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde, a model ranked at 76% by our team. This tyre is part of the summer lineup by world-famous Pirelli. Although higher rated, the mutual test placements are a notch lower, with this tyre ranking 15th in the ADAC test and 4th in the Autobild test. The tyre didn't particularly stand out or have its strengths mentioned in the tests, which is something buyers should consider.
All in all, if we look at test results, the Firestone Roadhawk edges out the competition in performance and ranking. However, prospective buyers should keep in mind the significant strengths and noted weaknesses of both tyres; the Roadhawk's dry condition performance is a noteworthy high, though it does underperform somewhat in wet conditions with some noise issues. The Pirelli tyre demonstrates consistency with a higher rating, although test placements are somewhat lower.
With this information in hand, you should be able to make a more informed choice on whether the Firestone Roadhawk or Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde is the right tyre for you. Remember to always take into account your driving conditions and vehicle specification when choosing a tyre.
