Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

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 13 owner reviews found online.

Reviewers largely view the Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 as a good-value all-season tire, praising its wet and winter grip, dry handling and longevity. Road noise is the most common complaint, and a few reviewers report weaknesses in extreme heat (poor braking), heavy snow and ice, and long-term durability. Overall sentiment is positive, with ratings ranging from 46 to 99.

Pros

Strong wet-weather grip and confidence in rain, mentioned by several reviewers
Good cold-weather and light-snow performance, with some users reporting no problems on snowy or icy roads at temperatures down to -10°C
Good dry grip and braking, with a planted, smooth feel and stable high-speed directional stability
Good value for money, with some reviewers calling it the best price/performance all-season option and saying they would buy again
Long tread life for some owners, with one reporting about 18,000 miles over three years and another about 23,000 miles across several cars, with plenty of tread left

Cons

Road noise is the most frequent complaint, noted by several reviewers; one says it becomes slightly noisy above 120 km/h
Reduced performance in extreme conditions, including poor braking in hot, dry weather above about 30°C and weak grip and stability in heavy snow and ice for some users
Durability concerns from a minority, including one report of dry rotting and winter performance becoming undrivable after about 25,000 km
Mixed winter results, as several reviewers praise snow and ice traction while others find the tire unsuited to heavy winter weather

Worth knowing

No tire sizes were provided in any of the reviews, so no size-specific conclusions can be drawn.
Vehicle information is limited. One reviewer used the tire on three Dacia/Renault-type small cars (Logan, Sandero and a 'Splash') and reported 23,000 miles of good wet and snow performance, with noise as the only gripe.
One reviewer switched from Hankook tires and reported very good dry and wet grip and a planted, smooth feel after about a month of use.
