The Blackhawk Street H HU02 divides opinion as an ultra-high-performance budget tire, offering impressive dry and wet grip and strong value for some drivers while failing to satisfy others due to poor longevity and handling issues. While a segment of users praises its sticky compound and favorable comparison to premium brands at a fraction of the cost, critics highlight severe drawbacks including rapid tread wear, road noise, and dangerous traction loss in wet or cold conditions.

How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more.

Pros
- Exceptional value compared to premium tier-one brands
- Strong dry grip and confident cornering performance
- Sticky rubber compound that improves handling
- Acceptable or even surprising wet weather performance for certain users
Cons
- Premature tread wear and short lifespan, with some failing around 8,000 miles
- Dangerous lack of traction and tendency to slip in wet or rainy conditions
- Prone to developing temporary flat spots
- Noticeable road noise as the tires age
Worth knowing
- Drivers of rear-wheel-drive sports cars like the Scion FR-S and front-engine roadsters like the Pontiac Solstice report mixed experiences, with some experiencing wheel spin in the wet while others praise the cornering stability.
- Higher-end coupe drivers, such as an Audi S5 owner, reported positive experiences serious enough to purchase a second set.
