Firestone Tyres

Founded in Akron, Ohio (USA) by Harvey Firestone in 1900, Firestone is now a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bridgestone Corporation. Renowned as pioneers in the arena of mass manufacture of tyres, the Firestone group was one of the original early 20th Century equipment suppliers to the Ford Motor Company.

Still active under the Firestone branding today, the company employs 23,000 worldwide, and counts the IndyCar Series as one of its exclusive supply lines.

  • The Firehawk SZ90µ has a great-looking new tread pattern with a fresh, dynamic asymmetric design that provides a perfect balance between wet and dry performance. The symbol ‘µ’ is not coincidental, as it stands for the engineering symbol of friction – in this case denoting the tyre’s outstanding grip.
  • The tyre is focused more on the fun aspect of driving than pure sport, and targets cars such as the Peugeot 207, Renault Mégane, Opel Astra and Alfa Romeo 147, as well as sports models like the recent Opel GT.

  • This longer wear life is due to the Vanhawk's wider tread width, combined with the continuous ribs around the tread which reduce the risk of irregular 'heel and toe' wear.
