Ratings, dimensions, and construction details for the Firestone Firehawk A/S in size 185/55R15.
Features & benefits
- Asymmetric tread pattern: The Firehawk A/S tire model comes with two different tread design faces. The outer side is equipped with large shoulder blocks for better cornering performance and some additional grooves for decent handling in the wet. The other side gives you maximized rubber footprint for better dry handling, so these tires can be used in any sort of weather.
- Unique compound material: The tread compound of these tires is made of long-link carbon material coupled with high silica content. Long-link carbon stabilizes and reinforces the rubber to give you better ground support and changing carbon molecules suitable for any temperature. High silica addition makes the tires last longer and performs better on wet roads.
- Deep siping: We were surprised to see that this tire has siping that goes all the way down to the bottom of the tread. It provides the tire with higher safety and more biting edges that grip the road, which is especially important in wet driving conditions and snow traction.
