Ranked #16 of 19
The Firestone Winterhawk 4 secured the 14th position out of 19 competitors in a notable evaluation, indicating a competitive but not top-tier performance. Among its strengths, the tire boasts impressive snow handling capabilities, minimal noise while rolling, and an outstanding tread life, satisfying those looking for durability and a quiet ride during winter conditions. However, its performance was not without drawbacks. The tire displayed only adequate performance on dry surfaces, coupled with extended braking distances on both wet and dry roads, and a ride comfort that left something to be desired. Despite these mixed outcomes, specific areas of absolute best or last performance did not emerge, underscoring its balanced, though not exemplary, capabilities across various criteria.
