Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Firestone Firehawk S790 receives a poor reception from users, primarily due to significant issues with directional stability and handling predictability. While the tire demonstrates adequate grip levels, the driving experience is described as exhausting due to constant steering corrections required to maintain a straight path.
Pros
- Progressive breakaway characteristics when grip is lost
- Adequate overall dry grip levels
Cons
- Poor directional stability and tracking
- High driver fatigue due to constant steering corrections
- Lack of ride comfort despite the profile specification
Observations
- Users transitioning from premium performance tires like Pirelli report a significant degradation in vehicle stability and handling composure.
The Kumho Solus 4 All Weather provides reliable grip across various weather conditions, including wet, dry, and light snow. However, the tire suffers from significantly premature tread wear, which undermines its value proposition as a practical year-round solution.
Pros
- Reliable traction in dry conditions
- Confident performance on wet surfaces
- Effective capability in light snow
Cons
- Extremely rapid tread wear
- Poor overall longevity compared to summer tires
- Lack of cost-effectiveness due to frequent replacement intervals
Observations
- Performance and grip were noted as sufficient for lightweight vehicles like the Suzuki Ignis.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
