Firestone's High Performance All-Season tire, the Firehawk GT w/UNI-T, is specifically designed for sporty performance sedans and coupes. This tire provides a perfect balance between long treadwear, responsive handling, and reliable traction on both dry and wet roads, as well as light snow conditions. Firestone incorporates their UNI-T Technology, which focuses on three crucial tire components - the beads, casing, and tread, to improve overall performance by enhancing comfort, handling, and traction. The Firehawk GT features an asymmetric tread design with a high-silica tread compound that ensures durability. The large outside shoulder blocks significantly improve steering response and stability while cornering. On the inside, the tire has more lateral grooves and sipes on the shoulder blocks, providing additional biting edges for enhanced traction in unfavorable weather conditions. The continuous center ribs of the Firehawk GT enhance responsiveness and traction when accelerating or braking. To reduce tread pattern noise, Firestone applies their Veri-pitch sequencing of block shapes and sizes throughout the tread design. The structure of the Firehawk GT consists of twin, steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon, allowing for better driving control and long, even treadwear. Additionally, a polyester cord body and hard rubber sidewall reinforcements are incorporated to further enhance steering response and cornering stability.
