Firestone Roadhawk

EU tyre label for every size: 115 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Firestone Roadhawk is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 115 sizes (186 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 21″ rims.

Wet grip is rated A–C depending on size, fuel efficiency A–D and external rolling noise 70–73 dB.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 215/55 R17 (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency B · 71 dB), the weakest 205/55 R16 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency A · 70 dB).

On the EU market since January 2017; the earliest production week registered is 01/2017.

What the label means on the road (195/65 R15)

Example: the 195/65 R15 size, compared with the 947 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈34 m with class A, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

71 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size.

Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.

All 115 sizes

The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).

Questions

Is the Firestone Roadhawk a quiet tyre?

Its declared rolling noise ranges from 70 dB to 73 dB (median 71 dB). In 34% of the sizes we could compare, it is at least as quiet as three quarters of same-size rivals.

How good is the Firestone Roadhawk in the wet?

Its wet grip class is A–C. In 100% of compared sizes that is at least as good as three quarters of same-size rivals.

Is the Firestone Roadhawk suitable for snow?

No size carries the 3PMSF symbol, so it is not certified for severe snow. In countries with winter tyre rules it does not count as a winter tyre.

When was the Firestone Roadhawk launched?

It has been on the EU market since January 2017. The earliest production week in its registrations is 01/2017; the DOT code on the sidewall shows the week and year of your tyre.
