In the world of summer tyres, here we compare two notable models: the Firestone Roadhawk and the Kleber Dynaxer UHP. These tyres have been put to rigorous testing by experts, providing us with detailed insights on their performances. Let's delve into their specific strengths and weaknesses as discovered in these tests.
From Firestone, the Firestone Roadhawk Is a summer tyre that earned a rating of 70% on our scale. Notably, no newer models have replaced this tyre. In the Autobild test, it held a respectable 13th position out of 53 total tyres in the test. Unfortunately, detailed highlights that could have led to its robust ranking in the test were not specified.
The second tyre under scrutiny is the Kleber Dynaxer UHP from Kleber, which rated slightly higher on our scale with 73%. The remarkable feature about the Kleber Dynaxer UHP was its "Exterior noise", as recognized in the Autobild test. It positioned 2 times lower than the Firestone Roadhawk in Autobild, ranking 15th in the total of 53 tyres.
In the autobild 2023 test, the Kleber Dynaxer UHP received praises for its good mileage, low roll resistance, and quiet rolling noise. However, on the negative side, the tyre's mediocre grip and limited steering when wet, coupled with low aquaplaning reserves, were clearly noted.
In conclusion, both Firestone Roadhawk and Kleber Dynaxer UHP have their unique strengths and weaknesses. While the Firestone achieves a slightly better overall ranking, the Kleber excels in its low exterior noise. Civility in choosing between these two will largely depend on the specific needs of potential buyers.
