About the Firestone Firehawk Pursuit

Built for the Road. Ready for the Chase.

Best forEmergency and law enforcement passenger vehicles that require reliable high-speed stability, wet-road traction, and durable all-season performance.

The Firestone Firehawk Pursuit is a high-performance all-season tire purpose-built for emergency and law enforcement vehicles. It delivers confident grip on both dry and wet pavement, stable high-speed handling, and a ride quality that holds up through the rigors of patrol and pursuit duty — making it a specialized choice for police and first-responder fleets.

An asymmetrical tread pattern pairs wide outboard shoulder blocks with a low-void construction to maximize cornering grip and lateral stability at speed. Four circumferential grooves and additional lateral notches evacuate water efficiently, reducing hydroplaning risk. Underneath, two high-strength steel belts, a two-ply polyester casing, and dual nylon cap plies work together to maintain structural integrity and controlled handling under demanding, high-speed conditions.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/55R17 99W mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 55 means the sidewall is 55% of that width, and R17 is the 17-inch rim it mounts on. 99 is the load index (1,709 lbs per tire), and W is the speed rating (up to 168 mph).

Is the Firehawk Pursuit only for police vehicles, or can civilians buy it?

The Firehawk Pursuit is designed and marketed specifically for emergency and law enforcement fleets, with a construction spec tailored to that duty cycle. While there is no regulatory restriction on civilian purchase, the tire's engineering priorities — pursuit-level stability, fleet durability, and high-speed structural integrity — are aimed squarely at professional vehicle applications.

How does the Firehawk Pursuit handle in wet conditions?

Four circumferential grooves combined with additional lateral notches work to channel water out from under the contact patch, helping maintain grip on wet pavement and reducing the likelihood of hydroplaning. The low-void tread design also contributes to consistent lateral traction when roads are slick.

Is the Firehawk Pursuit rated for severe winter conditions like ice and deep snow?

No. The Firehawk Pursuit is an all-season tire and does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification. It is intended to handle light winter conditions as part of its all-season capability, but for extreme ice or heavy snow environments, a dedicated winter tire would provide meaningfully better performance.

What kind of warranty does the Firehawk Pursuit carry?

The Firehawk Pursuit is covered under Firestone's manufacturer warranty. There is no advertised mileage warranty for this model, which is consistent with its specialized, high-performance fleet application where duty cycles vary significantly between vehicles.

What makes the Firehawk Pursuit durable enough for law enforcement use?

The tire is built with a reinforced internal structure consisting of two high-strength steel belts, a two-ply polyester casing, and two nylon cap plies. This construction is intended to maintain handling precision and structural stability even during sustained high-speed operation — conditions that standard passenger tires are not specifically engineered to handle.

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.
