Translation

High resistance to aquaplaning and slippage. Good performance thanks to the longitudinal grooves in the mud. Properties of winter tires in starting and braking definitely worse than the previous version of the tire. While driving, the tire behaves more stable and keeps track. Generally OK but I think the Firestone Winterhawk 2 I was one of the best winter tires, which can easily compete with the `Ultra Grip and Alpin. With the model I, I turned the car on the road as if it were glued and not snow, is that you might be free of all snow. The missing something and successors were to be generally better than the previous version. They improved to deprimento other and do not think in the overall assessment came to the +, on the contrary.

I'm on the second season tyrech. So far have not noticed any alarming signs of wear. The volume is normal, driving on snow and ice control. In dry no problem, but some conditions appear wet. Tire is prone to slipping when we fall into the puddles at high speed. So, you must have the car under control. Not least is the only flaw I noticed when using. tyre I think is worth the money.

Much better than my sparciałe Continental old and worn, but I expected a little more. The positive surprise wet. Ride, starting and braking on ice - slightly. The snow still give advice, but have difficulty during startup. In the mud - without reservation. The appearance of the tire is low ... but who cares. What's cool is that they are quiet (zero difference in the transition from summer). It burns somehow does not rise.

The choice fell on Firestone because I could not buy in any way the Nokian + W. But it had to be an opinion, then: very quiet tires (rolling resistance), in dry conditions so far without problems in the mud and the snow like a knife through butter, and remains stable. Now, a few drawbacks: on the asphalt frozen quickly loses braking grip, but when you go all the time so we can keep traction. Not tested sull`alta snow - without cubes - blocks (but it has many cuts) so I do not know if you do intappa snow - but now only guess, when we see a lot of snow. In general, I recommend - are definitely much better than Debica refrigerator, I had primary (are quieter and better)

I bought these tyres with some concern because I did not know before all the Firestone brand tires. But I have not been disappointed. After the packed snow goes, it is a little worse, but melting snow tires that offer excellent traction on small boiled. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase, revel much about them, but do not go in normal driving are adequate for the price really worth it.

These tires do not seem like the end of winter tires were. After fresh snow goes well, and after a bit ujeżdżonym its failure, not to mention the lodzie.Często during acceleration (95 horsepower diesel) flashes and ESP braking on dry ground ABS.Na calm, I did not marked, but quite wet prowadzenie.Hamowanie as some kind winter tyres-little more than a letnich.Trwałość following two winters (10tys. miles) zużycia.Przez is almost no resistance on very bad surfaces was dobra.Gdyby a little quieter, it could be considered a tire all year.

I put these tires during the first attack of the winter, so that the horse was a vulcanizer tyrech, I returned to Winterhawkach seconds Heaven and earth. Totally different quality of leadership. Those who say that winter is not tired to extort money from drivers pukna leave it in the front. But it is not at all zimowkach should be about konkretnyh tires. Well, I gave him a total of 5 because for my needs, and they are at moderate driving 100% sufficient. Possible to push the gas on snow and someone beyond, whether fresh or melting snow. Can easily move or completely buried nieodsniezonego park also notice, if necessary, by order. No snow on the asphalt also keep e OK, OK enough how przynajmienej may require zimowek. As the most recommended.

Tires designed for winter conditions, my attention: Dear snow: Self confident cornering, tires bite well in the snow. Riding forward, holds the road and up the hill, probably go to the front. Unmade road well below the snowy ice, no problem up the hill, the tires very well in these conditions. The road pośniegowym mud, very well drained wet snow. The road after the rain, no snow, sorry for a ride in my car, exemplary discharge of rain, the vehicle behavior without reservation. Dry and express S8 190 kmh silence, probably holds the car on the road. Osiedlowa snowy road: Uncontrolled slip rear axle with a strong bypassing another vehicle, light Katra and return calm to the right position. Friability after 3 months of 1 to 2 mm.
