The Firestone Roadhawk 2 is a tyre designed for passenger cars and SUVs. It is the successor to the original Roadhawk tyre, with improvements in wet and dry handling, grip, and wear.
Improved wet handling: The tyre's silica-enhanced compound and 3D full-depth sipes help improve wet handling and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
Enhanced dry handling: The tyre's optimized tread pattern and shoulder blocks improve dry handling and provide better traction on dry roads.
Long-lasting wear: The Roadhawk 2 tyre is designed with a new tread compound that provides longer tread life, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.
Quiet ride: The tyre's optimized tread pattern and shoulder blocks also help reduce road noise for a quiet and comfortable ride.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
