About the Firestone Firehawk AS

Performance grip, every season, every mile.

Best forPassenger car drivers seeking sporty year-round performance on dry roads, wet pavement, and light snow.

The Firestone Firehawk AS is a ultra-high-performance all-season tire built for passenger cars that want spirited handling without sacrificing year-round usability. It balances confident wet and dry grip with the ability to handle light snow and slush, making it a practical choice for enthusiast drivers who don't want to swap tires when the weather turns.

The Firehawk AS uses a symmetrical tread pattern engineered with 20% more biting edges compared to previous designs, boosting traction and control in wet and light-winter conditions. Enhanced water evacuation channels work to channel moisture away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk. The grooves and casing are computer-tuned to limit road noise, and full-depth tread features help maintain performance as the tire wears. A 50,000-mile tread life warranty backs the design.

Questions about this tire

What does 225/40R18 92V mean?

225 is the tread width in millimeters, 40 means the sidewall is 40% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 92 is the load index (1,389 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Is the Firehawk AS a good tire for everyday commuting?

Yes, it's well-suited to daily driving. The Firehawk AS is designed to deliver a balance of responsive handling, a comfortable ride, and long tread life that makes it a practical fit for high-mileage commuters who still want a performance feel.

How does the Firehawk AS handle rain and wet roads?

The tire performs well in wet conditions. Its circumferential grooves are designed to channel water away from the tread contact patch efficiently, which helps resist hydroplaning and maintain grip on rain-soaked pavement.

Can the Firehawk AS handle winter weather?

It manages light snow and slush reasonably well, thanks to its all-season tread pattern, wide grooves, and added siping. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not recommended for moderate to severe winter conditions — drivers in harsh winter climates should consider a dedicated winter tire.

How many miles should I expect from the Firehawk AS?

Firestone backs the Firehawk AS with a 50,000-mile limited tread life warranty on H- and V-speed-rated sizes. Actual mileage depends on driving habits, proper inflation, and regular rotation — following the recommended maintenance schedule gives you the best chance of reaching that figure.

Is the Firehawk AS noisy at highway speeds?

No, it's designed to be relatively quiet for a performance all-season tire. Firestone uses computer optimization on the groove geometry and casing construction to keep road noise in check, which helps maintain a comfortable cabin environment on long highway drives.

The brand

About Firestone

Firestone moved its corporate headquarters from Akron, Ohio to Nashville, Tennessee. The move was part of the overall reorganization that followed the Bridgestone/Firestone merger.

Firestone is the exclusive tire supplier for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and it extended that role through a long-term agreement.

Firestone has a program called the 90-Day Buy & Try Guarantee.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
