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

The Firestone Vanhawk 2 receives generally favorable reviews from users who praise its robust construction, long tread life, and excellent fuel economy. While one reviewer noted an unusually long break-in period requiring around 1,500 km before achieving sufficient grip, the overall consensus highlights it as a competitive, durable, and cost-effective option for commercial vans.
Pros
- Long tread life and robust construction
- Excellent fuel economy and low rolling resistance
- Good all-round value and competitive total cost
- Reliable handling across various weather conditions once broken in
Cons
- Unusually long break-in period required before optimal grip is established
- Initial lack of traction reported during the early kilometers of use
Worth knowing
- Users running these on medium-sized vans like the Mercedes Vito note solid longevity, matching or exceeding typical OEM expectations after an initial break-in phase.
