Tires Firestone or LASSA

Firestone Tires

I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.

Pros: work perfectly, great
Mileage: 500 km

I currently have Firehawk AS V2's on mine. I live in an area that gets all four seasons, and they've served me well in the rain and snow/ice. I'm sure I'm sacrificing some summer performance, but that's pretty far from my priority. No issues with excessive wear or tire noise

Pros: good in rain, snow
Cons: sacrificing summer performance
Vehicle: Mazda 6

My wife bought a car from carvana and i noticed on delivery that the tires were at the wear bars. Took it to Firestone, they filed a claim with SR on the spot and had new tires in a couple of hours. Can’t complain about that.

Pros: new tires in hours

Looks fine other than it’s wet and has other people’s rubber on it. You’re gonna find out that the Indy 500 is not a track tire. So when you push really really hard, it’s gonna get really greasy and loose very quickly.

Cons: greasy and loose

My dad had a Ranger that came with the recalled infamous Firestone Wilderness AT's. When they did the recall, they put the shittiest summer street tires on as a replacement with absolutely no traction in the snow. That's the worst tire I've ever ran on a vehicle.

Pros: none
Cons: no traction in snow
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.

Pros: good traction, decent slippage prediction
Cons: abysmal steering responsiveness
Vehicle: Infiniti
