Our Best High-Performance Tire
The newest Firestone Firehawk AS tire offers sport performance and year-round capabilities—so you can push your sports car to its full potential no matter the season. It’s a great all-season performance tire for sedans.
What Are Performance Tires?
You’ve been dreaming of that sports car since you were a kid, saving up for it since high school—don’t let the wrong tires slow your dream car down. Restrictive tires can take away from the experience of driving your sports car, performance sedan or sporty coupe but, fear not, that’s why performance tires were created!
Performance tires are characterized by their large tread blocks and telltale speed ratings, which range from S to Z. Speed ratings indicate the top speed at which a tire will perform well—assuming optimal conditions. Generally-speaking, a higher speed rating is an indicator of greater steering, cornering, and stopping capabilities.
Why Buy Firestone Brand Performance Tires?
As the exclusive tire supplier for the NTT IndyCar® Series, Firestone leads the way in tire research and innovation. In 2019, the manufacturer will supply over 26,000 racing tires for the premier open-wheel race series—all of which are tightly controlled and not available to the public. However, Firestone has translated the technology of the Firehawk race tires into two consumer-friendly performance models:
- Firestone Firehawk All Season: For all-season sports performance
- Firestone Firehawk Indy 500: Ultra high-performance summer tire
Technology & Benefits: Top Performance All Year Long
