Description
The Firestone Roadhawk 2 235/55 R18 is one of the most widely adapted sizes for popular family crossovers and mid-sized SUVs (such as the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson/Santa Fe, Kia Sportage/Sorento, Lexus NX, and Volkswagen Tiguan). This second-generation Roadhawk pattern prioritizes optimized rolling resistance for enhanced fuel economy and advanced tread compound durability to resist high-temperature highway stress, ensuring a quiet and reliable passenger cabin experience.
Key Product Advantages:
Fuel Efficiency & Extended Treadwear: Formulated with a specialized rubber matrix that ensures uniform wear across the footprint, reducing tread squirm and operational degradation on hot summer tarmac.
Premium Ride Cushioning: The 55-series profile provides an ideal balance between sporty handling and effective road-shock absorption, shielding the vehicle cabin from road imperfections.
Reliable Load & Speed Rating (100V): Engineered to safely support a maximum load of 800 kg per tire and certified for safe, continuous highway speeds up to 240 km/h under high heat conditions.
