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. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
77/100From 7 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Firestone Firehawk 900 generally receives favorable reviews for its solid dry and wet traction, responsive handling, and comfortable ride quality that handles rough roads well. However, user feedback indicates notable drawbacks regarding increased road noise, particularly with run-flat variants, and instances of receiving older stock tires.
Pros
- Reliable and safe grip in both wet and dry conditions
- Good ride comfort and bump absorption on rough or uneven roads
- Attractive aesthetic appearance
- Balanced performance with a competitive price point
Cons
- Noticeable road noise, especially reported with run-flat versions at lower speeds or with windows down
- Potential to receive older, pre-dated stock from retailers affecting rubber longevity
- Dry grip can diminish as the tire ages
Worth knowing
- Provides a rare H-rated option for vintage 13-inch size requirements, such as on a 1979 Mazda RX-7
- Users reported satisfactory handling on compact cars like the Toyota Corolla navigating poor road conditions
