Description
The Firestone Roadhawk 2 235/50 R18 is engineered for large premium sedans, sport coupes, and modern executive crossovers (such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Audi Q3, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota Alphard, and sport trims of the Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB or BMW X1/X2). This second-generation Roadhawk pattern focuses on delivering immediate steering response and short stopping distances under intense summer heat, utilizing a reinforced Extra Load (XL) construction to withstand high-stress highway operation with maximum safety.
Key Product Advantages:
Balanced Sport Handling (50% Profile): The profile provides an excellent compromise between rigid sidewall control during high-speed cornering and effective road-shock absorption, preserving cabin comfort.
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 luxury sedans and crossover platforms.
Maximum Y-Speed Rating Certified: Globally certified for absolute structural integrity and optimal thermal dissipation at continuous highway cruising speeds up to 300 km/h.
