What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 16 owner reviews found online.

The Firestone Multihawk is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, reliable tire for small to mid-sized family vehicles. While users generally praise its dry-weather handling and exceptional value, opinions on wet-weather performance and tread longevity are polarized, with some reporting excellent durability and others noting premature wear or structural failure.

Pros

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio
  • Strong dry-weather grip and handling
  • Quiet and comfortable ride quality for daily commuting
  • Reliable performance for standard family vehicles

Cons

  • Inconsistent wet-weather traction
  • Reports of premature tread wear or structural issues
  • Twitchy handling on uneven or poor road surfaces
  • Susceptibility to punctures in some user experiences

Worth knowing

  • Highly recommended by owners of small hatchbacks and family cars like the Ford Focus and Nissan March.
  • Performance is noted to be less ideal for aggressive driving or high-speed maneuvers on bumpy road surfaces.
