The Firestone TZ200 is widely regarded as a high-value, mid-range tire that offers impressive dry grip and longevity for the price point. While many users praise its durability and balanced performance, opinions are polarized regarding road noise and wet-weather confidence, with some drivers reporting significant humming and unpredictable handling in damp conditions.

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.

Worth knowing

Users reported that the tire's performance can be highly sensitive to axle placement, with some noting instability when used on the rear of front-wheel-drive vehicles.
Drivers of heavier vehicles noted that the tire maintains its tread life well, though some experienced significant noise issues on larger luxury sedans.
Performance on smaller hatchbacks is generally praised for dry-weather agility, though some users noted a 'soft' sidewall feel that required slight pressure adjustments.
