Test Results


IMPROVED WINTER TRACTION
ENHANCED WET PERFORMANCE
LONGER TYRE LIFE
Excellent winter traction is a combination of 3 elements: edge effect, surface friction and snow shear force. The Firestone Winterhawk 3 masters them all for excellent grip, handling and response on icy and snow-covered roads.
EDGE EFFECT
The Winterhawk’s multiple lamellen technology ensures it really bites into the ice/snow.
- Maximum biting edge effect
- Optimum traction and braking performance on snow covered and icy roads.
SURFACE FRICTION
The latest silica-reinforced compounds maintain superlative grip and surface contact over a wider range of temperatures.
- NanoPro-Tech polymers
- Even distribution of silica particles
- Flexible, low-temperature compound
SNOW SHEAR FORCE
Maintain maximum traction, even on loose snow. The Winterhawk 3 has a higher number* of blocks to increase lug volume. This increase improves grab and release of snow.
- Optimized* block density
- High lug volume
- Increased void ratio*
EDGE EFFECT
Power through rain and slush thanks to the Winterhawk 3’s advanced tread design. High-volume lugs and a constant tread depth from shoulder to shoulder help channel water, mud and slush away from central tread area to maximise your grip and minimise the risk of aquaplaning.
- CONSTANT TREAD DEPTH
- WIDE, STAGGERED GROOVES
- HIGH-VOLUME LUGS
* 10% higher resistance to aquaplaning
LONGER TYRE LIFE
Firestone’s Dynamic Footprint Analysis monitors every block slip to balance the tyre’s block and groove distribution. The net result is optimum stiffness, maximum wear resistance and constant winter grip for up to 3 - 4 winter seasons.
- Stiffness optimisation technology
- Sipe retention design
* 30% increase in wear resistance
