Bridgestone Launches Firestone Firehawk AS V2 UHP Tire

Bridgestone has launched the new Firestone Firehawk AS V2 all-season ultra-high performance tire.

Bridgestone says performance advancements offered by the Firestone Firehawk AS V2 tire include:

  • Increased speed rating (H, V, W) over the previous generation Firehawk AS tires (H, V)
  • Lap times 2.11 seconds faster in wet conditions than the previous generation Firehawk AS tires
  • Lap times -0.6 seconds faster in wet conditions than the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S+ tires and the General G-Max AS-05 tires
  • Stops 5 ft. shorter in snow than the previous generation Firehawk AS tires
  • Stops 15 ft. shorter in snow than the General G-Max AS-05 tires

Bridgestone says the Firestone Firehawk AS V2 tires are available now at all Bridgestone authorized tire dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
