The Firehawk Wide Oval w/UNI-T is Firestone's Ultra High Performance
Summer tire for today's driving enthusiasts in much the same way the
original Wide Oval, the industry's first low profile, bias-ply
performance tire, helped revolutionize high performance passenger
tires in the late 1960s. Today's Firehawk Wide Oval radial tires
were developed for high performancesports cars, coupes & sedans,
& are designed to provide world-class handling, performance &
durability on wet & dry roads. The Firehawk Wide Oval is not
intended to be driven in snow.
Firestone's Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology (UNI-T)
features three core elements: CO'CS, a Computer Optimized Component
System which allows design & manufacturing processes to work more
cooperatively, leading to a more efficient tire that doesn't
significantly sacrifice one area of performance for improvements in
another; O-Bead, a more round structure that minimizes overlapped
joints in the bead area for improved ride;& L.L. Carbon (Long Link
Carbon) which helps the rubber compound resist microscopic tread
tearing related to wear.
On the outside, the Firehawk Wide Oval features high performance
silica-enhanced L.L. Carbon tread rubber compound molded into an
independent-block, directional tread design to blend responsive
handling along with wet & dry traction, while circumferential &
lateral grooves team up to provide hydroplaning resistance. On the
inside, the Firehawk Wide Oval features twin steel belts reinforced
with spirally wrapped nylon ply to provide strength, stability &
high-speed capability.
Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tires feature black sidewall styling
with subtle black letters reversed out of a stylized sidewall.
Firehawk Wide Oval tires are W-speed rated in 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-,
40- & 35-series sizes for 16-, 17-, 18- & 20-inch wheel
diameters.
