\n<\/strong>This is the sportiest member of the Firestone family, carrying forward the legendary Firehawk name. The SZ90\u03bc offers superb steering response, precision and cornering control and delivers a perfect balance between wet- and dry-weather handling.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This tyre incorporates a reinforced sidewall construction, adding extra safety and convenience to SZ90\u03bc benefits. Firehawk SZ90\u03bc RFT is Firestone\u2019s first Run-Flat Technology tyre in Europe, introduced in 2012 to meet the demand for 2nd and 3rd replacement tyres in a growing RFT market.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A touring tyre designed for high levels of safety and comfort with robust, reliable performance. Longitudinal grooves and long lateral shoulder grooves combined with dynamic-shaped tread block edges ensure high level wet performance. The soft sidewall and reduced radial stiffness contribute damping and comfort. Strong tyre test results include the respected \u201crecommendable\u201d stamp from Germany\u2019s ADAC organization in 2011.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Firestone has employed the latest lamellen technology to enhance performance, safety and durability. The Winterhawk 3 received GT\u00dc\u2019s \u201cRecommended\u201d rating and the title of \u201cPrice-Performance Winner 2013\u201d and also delivered by far the best performance for its price in the ADAC\/TCS\/OEAMTC test published in September this year, where it was qualified as \u201cexceptionally good on both dry and wet roads\u201d (ADAC Winter Tyre Test 2013, 09\/2013).<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Firestone\u2019s newly-developed \u201cstepped\u201d block pattern provides increased traction and block stiffness at the same time, for excellent braking and acceleration even in extreme temperatures. A high density of multi-angled sipes covering the entire contact patch maximizes the biting effect and gives a secure feel on ice and compacted snow. The tyre is equally impressive on wet and slush, with wide V-shaped grooves that clear water away from the contact patch rapidly, giving safe contact between the tyre and road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
