The Vredestein Sportrac 5 and Firestone Roadhawk are two summer tyres that consumers commonly compare. Made by reputable manufacturers, both tyres have desirable features but also unique strengths and weaknesses that set them apart.
The Vredestein Sportrac 5 is a summer tyre that we rate at 58%, due to its performance in various tests. One of its best features is its wet circle cornering ability, as highlighted by the ADAC test where it ranked 16th out of 16 tyres tested. However, compared to the Firestone Roadhawk, ranked 4th in the ADAC test, the Vredestein Sportrac 5 lags behind in overall performance. Despite its strong performance in wet circle cornering, the tyre lacks in areas like dry driving behaviour and wet braking.
Firestone's Roadhawk, on the other hand, provides a more balanced performance. Not only did it rank higher in the ADAC test, but the Roadhawk also stood out in the Autobild test, securing the 3rd place out of 51 tyres tested. Its notable strengths include dry driving behaviour, safety, and wet braking. With an overall rating of 72%, the Firestone Roadhawk outperforms the Vredestein Sportrac 5 in most aspects and is replaced by a newer model.
While the Vredestein Sportrac 5 has no previous or following models, the Firestone Roadhawk follows a line of reliable and high-performing tyres from the manufacturer. Neither of the tyres is offered as original equipment and their manufacturing origins are also not disclosed.
To sum up, while the Vredestein Sportrac 5 excels in wet circle cornering, its overall performance cannot match the balanced and high-ranking qualities of the Firestone Roadhawk, making the latter a better choice for summer tyres.
