The Firestone Roadhawk 2 summer tire stands out from its competitors with a rather specific set of operational properties. It is distinguished by improved traction, primarily on wet surfaces, while providing reduced fuel consumption and resistance to abrasive wear.

To a large extent, the combination of such characteristics is achieved due to the use of the Nano Pro-Tech rubber compound in the manufacture of the tire. Its composition contains a large amount of silicon dioxide in combination with other components that make the tread elastic even at low temperatures, while maintaining its high resistance to abrasive wear. The next important feature of the tire is the tread pattern. It is distinguished by an optimized ratio of void volume to the area of tread elements. This noticeably stabilizes traction when maneuvering, providing a more comfortable driving experience. The drainage grooves are arranged in such a way that they pass through a much larger amount of water, which reduces the risk of hydroplaning not only at high speeds but also with significant tread wear.

Key features:
- optimized pressure distribution on the road surface due to the design of the shoulder areas of the tread with massive blocks;
- a specially selected ratio of void volume to the area of tread elements in the central part provides an optimal balance between traction on dry surfaces and resistance to aquaplaning on wet roads;
- the Nano Pro-Tech rubber compound enhances traction properties on wet surfaces, providing the tire with wear resistance and reduced rolling resistance
