Is the Firehawk AS V2 good in snow?

It handles light snow and cold pavement, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated winter tire in heavy snow or ice.

How does it compare with a summer tire?

A summer tire grips harder in heat and dry corners. The AS V2 gives up some of that for cold-weather use and one-tire convenience.

W means the tire is rated for speeds up to 270 km/h (168 mph). That is more than enough for normal road driving.

225/50R17 fits 17-inch wheels with a 225 mm section width and 50 percent aspect ratio. Check your vehicle's placard for the recommended size.

Firestone backs the Firehawk AS V2 with a limited treadwear warranty. Confirm the terms for your size with the seller.
