Firestone HLT
The Bottom Line
The Firestone HLT is a practical choice for highway drivers seeking solid handling and dry grip at a budget-friendly price. However, the absence of a treadwear warranty and lower comfort scores might deter those looking for long-term value and ride quality.
Important Note
Lack of a treadwear warranty could lead to unexpected replacement costs, impacting overall value.
Pros
- Handling score of 7.5 offers reliable on-road performance for highway driving.
- Dry grip of 7.5 ensures stable traction under normal conditions, suitable for regular highway use.
- Traction rating of 'A' provides dependable wet braking performance, a key factor for safety.
Cons
- No treadwear mileage warranty, which is unusual for highway all-season tires and may lead to higher long-term costs.
