From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Firestone FireHawk AS is generally regarded as a high-value, sporty all-season tire that offers impressive dry grip and handling characteristics. While many users praise its longevity and aesthetic appeal, there is a notable divide regarding its wet-weather performance, with some users reporting significant concerns regarding hydroplaning.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and durability
- Strong dry traction and cornering stability
- Attractive aesthetic design
- High value-to-price ratio
- Responsive steering feedback and sidewall stiffness
Cons
- Significant concerns regarding hydroplaning in heavy rain
- Potential for tread cracking after extended high-mileage use
- Availability issues at local retail outlets
Observations
- Owners of RWD performance vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Infiniti G35 report high satisfaction with cornering and handling.
- The tire demonstrates robust durability on high-torque FWD vehicles, effectively resisting belt shifting compared to other brands.
- Drivers of heavy, body-on-frame sedans appreciate the increased sidewall stiffness for improved steering feedback.
The Goodyear Eagle LS2 receives a mixed reception, with users frequently divided between its impressive tread longevity and its tendency to become noisy as the tire wears. While many owners appreciate the comfortable ride and decent all-season capability, others report concerns regarding dry and wet traction, particularly under acceleration.
Pros
- Excellent tread life and durability
- High level of ride comfort
- Effective rim protection design
- Good performance in light snow and slush
Cons
- Significant increase in road noise as the tire wears
- Susceptibility to cupping
- Inconsistent traction during acceleration in wet or dry conditions
- Soft sidewalls may feel less precise than dedicated summer tires
Observations
- Users with high-performance vehicles like the BMW X6M and F10 M-Sport reported surprisingly high mileage and satisfactory wear rates.
- Drivers transitioning from dedicated summer tires (e.g., Bridgestone S01) noted a marked improvement in ride comfort and noise reduction.

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.
