Description
The Firestone Roadhawk 2 205/55 R16 is custom-engineered as a dependable, high-volume size for popular compact and mid-sized family passenger cars (such as the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Cerato, Nissan Sentra, Mazda 3, Honda Civic, and Volkswagen Golf). This second-generation Roadhawk pattern prioritizes optimized rolling resistance to maximize fuel economy, combined with advanced tread compound durability to resist high-temperature summer stress, ensuring a quiet, smooth, and reliable passenger cabin experience.
