Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter launched

Bridgestone has announced the launch of the new Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter EVO, an electric vehicle-ready winter van tyre claiming longer mileage and improved fuel efficiency.

The Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter EVO applies Enliten Technology, Bridgestone’s next generation technology platform designed to enable fleets to adopt one single tyre across internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles.

Replacing the Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter, the new Firestone tyre is engineered to deliver durability to light van owners and drivers, with 10 per cent longer mileage than its predecessor.

The tyre leverages an improved compound that provides optimised abrasion, alongside a crown design for wear energy uniformity inside the contact patch area to deliver longer mileage.

Certified with 3PMSF and M+S markings, the Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter EVO also ensures reliable traction and braking in snow conditions.

Developed and tested in Italy, the new Firestone Vanhawk 2 Winter EVO with Enliten Technology will be available across all of Europe beginning in June 2025.

The tyre will be available from 15- to 17-inch in an expanded range of 18 short sizes and 22 long sizes.

These sizes include five 10 Ply Rating sizes to meet increasing demand from van owners and fleets to offset higher-cargo loads, as well as EV-light truck specific requirements.
