Description
The Firestone Roadhawk 2 235/60 R18 is a major standard size tailored for mid-sized family crossovers and modern SUVs (such as the Hyundai Santa Fe/Tucson, Kia Sorento/Sportage, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Volvo XC60). This second-generation Roadhawk pattern, produced in the group’s European facilities (BSEU), focuses on delivering exceptional casing strength to resist summer thermal stress while ensuring an ultra-quiet, shock-absorbing ride profile for maximum cabin comfort.
Key Product Advantages:
European Quality Standards (BSEU): Manufactured within Bridgestone’s European production network, ensuring world-class quality control, strict safety parameters, and excellent wet/dry braking response.
