Firestone: Bridgestone technology in a lower price group
The Bridgestone group's second brand
Firestone was founded in 1900 in the United States and has belonged to the Bridgestone group since 1988. In practice that means access to the group's technology at a lower price than the tyres of the main Bridgestone brand. Firestone tyres have a simpler compound and a more conservative tread.
Five lines, a compact range
The range is compact and clear: Roadhawk and Firehawk for summer, Winterhawk for winter, Multiseason for all-season and Vanhawk for vans. Diameters run from R14 to R22.
| Model | Season | Studs | Diameters | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winterhawk 4 | winter | studless | R15-R20 | Winter |
| Roadhawk 2 | summer | - | R16-R22 | Summer |
| Multiseason GEN 02 | all-season | - | R14-R19 | All-season |
| Roadhawk | summer | - | R15-R21 | Summer |
| Firehawk Sport | summer | - | R18-R20 | UHP summer |
| Vanhawk 2 Winter EVO | winter | studless | R15-R17 | C-marked, winter |
| Vanhawk Multiseason | all-season | - | R15-R17 | |
| Vanhawk 3 | summer | - | R15-R17 |
There is no studded Firestone in our range. The Winterhawk is a Central European type of winter tyre, built for wet asphalt and snow rather than polished ice.
Who Firestone suits best
Firestone suits those who want a European-made winter, summer or all-season tyre in the mid-price group, and van owners - the Vanhawk family includes winter, summer and all-season tyres.
If you need studs or maximum grip on ice, the Nordic brands in our range will suit better. The winter requirements in Latvia are explained by CSDD and set by the Road Traffic Law.
