Quality product that has performed and after 49,000 miles still has 4m tread remaining (1.6 is legal limit). Fitted 2 Firestones and 2 Michelins at the same time, and after 49,000 miles (and being swapped from front to REAR) both Firestones have even more tread than the Michelins ! Am looking to change for new now, but on current usage these tyres would get to 55,000 miles and beyond and still be legal !

Great tyre. Have full set on mercedes c200. Have noticed difference in fuel saving. Overall a good VFM tyre compared to michelin's etc.

My milage is over 3 times the average of 10,000 per year, so, as you would expect, I do go through tyres at a fair rate. I first inherited the Firestone Firehawk TZ200 tyres on a vehicle purchased from a local VW specialist. They said that they have fitted these tyres to all manner of VAG vehicles, from small petrol runabouts to Audi 4.0 A8's, and said that they have never had a complaint. I can see why! Great all round grip, wet, dry, hot or cold, same as my German cars, they just get on with it. Very long lasting, no cracking nonsense, and they are pleasingly quiet on long distance continental touring runs with large caravan. I recently replaced my VW with a BMW E39 diesel, which was fitted with worn Uniroyals at the front, and semi worn Falken at the back. Both no good, and downright pathetic in the wet with rear wheel drive. Replaced the whole set with Firestone Firehawks, instant difference, and amusingly, due to lower rolling resistance, better fuel economy. At £90 for a tank full to last 550 miles or so, the more mpg the better.
