Firestone Firehawk GT |
 |
The Firehawk GT w/UNI-T is
Firestone's High Performance All-Season tire developed for
sporty performance sedans and coupes. The Firehawk GT is
designed to allow drivers to feel the freedom of the road by
blending long treadwear and responsive handling with
dependable traction on dry and wet roads, as well as in
light snow.
Firestone's UNI-T Technology focuses on three primary tire
components, the beads, casing and tread, which influence
overall performance by enhancing comfort, handling and
traction. On the outside, the Firehawk GT molds a long
wearing, high-silica tread compound into an asymmetric tread
design that features large outside shoulder blocks to
enhance steering response and cornering stability. Inside
shoulder blocks feature more lateral grooves and sipes to
provide the additional biting edges that aid traction in
foul weather. The Firehawk GT radial’s continuous center
ribs enhance responsiveness, as well as wet and dry traction
when accelerating or braking. The entire tread design
features Firestone's Veri-pitch sequencing of block shapes
and sizes to help reduce tread pattern noise. The Firehawk
GT's structure includes twin, steel belts reinforced by
spirally wrapped nylon to enhance driving control and
provide long, even treadwear while minimizing weight and
enhancing ride quality. A polyester cord body and hard
rubber sidewall reinforcements enhance steering response and
cornering stability. |
