Given the superior performance on dry and wet surfaces and its efficiency, it can be concluded that Firestone Roadhawk is a reliable tyre for summer use.
Considering the Kleber Dynaxer HP4, our rating stands at 82%. This tyre impresses with good environmental balance, lifespan, tread wear and efficiency as reflected in the autobild 2024 test. While its performance on dry surfaces and exterior noise levels were its strongest suits in the Autobild tests. It stands ahead of the Firestone Roadhawk with the 11th position in the ADAC tyre test, compared to Firestone's 17th place. However, the tyre's performance took a hit on wet surfaces, according to autobild 2024 and adac 2021. Hence, if you prioritize comfort, exterior noise, and better performance on dry surfaces, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 can be a good choice.
In summary, with respective strengths and weaknesses, both the Firestone Roadhawk and the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 demonstrate solid performances. However, the overall tests results indicate that the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 might outshine its competitor. Despite some weaknesses, such as performance on wet surfaces, its stronger points tilt the balance in its favour.
