Description
The Firestone Roadhawk 2 225/55 R17 is engineered to provide a balanced and dependable ride for popular mid-to-large-sized family sedans, executive cars, and compact crossovers (such as the Toyota Camry/Avalon, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Mazda 6, and Subaru Forester). This second-generation Roadhawk pattern focuses on delivering excellent wet and dry traction, shorter braking distances under intensive summer heat, and utilizes a reinforced Extra Load (XL) construction to handle elevated weight capacities with maximum structural integrity.
Key Product Advantages:
Optimized Ride Comfort (55% Profile): The profile height delivers an ideal balance between responsive steering handling and effective road-shock absorption, cushioning the cabin from road imperfections and cats-eyes.
Reinforced Extra Load Casing (XL): Carrying a high 101 load index, the internal tire matrix is fortified to easily handle the elevated operational weight of modern heavy passenger vehicles under full payload.
High W-Speed Rating Certified: Globally certified for absolute structural stability and optimal thermal dissipation at continuous highway cruising speeds up to 270 km/h.
