The Firestone Multiseason 2, as tested across various dimensions and by different organizations, exhibits a mix of qualities that cater to diverse driving conditions, underlining its nature as an all-season tire. Notably, the tire is praised for its performance in snowy conditions, where it delivers good traction and short braking distances, indicating reliable winter use. Further enhancing its appeal for year-round application, the tire also demonstrates commendable performance on wet surfaces, with dynamic handling and effective braking celebrated as key strengths.
However, its prowess in snow and wet conditions is somewhat balanced by its performance under dry conditions and against aquaplaning, where feedback turns mixed. While its dry braking distances are relatively short in certain tests, an extended dry braking distance has been noted elsewhere, suggesting a variation in performance based on tire dimension and testing parameters. The tire's resistance to aquaplaning, particularly in curves, emerges as a notable area for improvement, according to various assessments. This reveals a limitation in its safety margins, which prospective buyers might consider, especially in regions prone to heavy rain.
On the positive side, the Multiseason 2 is commended for its capacity to offer a high mileage, which, alongside its low rolling resistance, points to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness over long-term use. This attribute is consistently highlighted, asserting the tire's value proposition in its segment. Nonetheless, there are views on its limited comfort and certain handling aspects, such as understeering tendencies on dry surfaces and snow, as well as a moderate side guidance on snow, hinting at potential compromises in driving dynamics.
In summation, the Firestone Multiseason 2 presents itself as a strong contender in all-season tire categories, especially for drivers prioritizing winter and wet performance, along with long-term value. Its balanced offering assures safety and efficiency, although attention to its handling characteristics and aquaplaning resistance might inform a more discerning purchase decision, aligning with specific driving conditions and preferences.
Firestone Multiseason 2 is made in 60 sizes, starting from 155/65 R13 up to 235/55 R19.
