The Transforce AT is Firestone's Commercial All-Terrain light truck tire developed for the drivers of multipurpose full-sized pickups, vans, sport utility and commercial vehicles looking for heavy-duty light truck tires that can combine traction on the highway, as well as at work jobsites and recreation areas. The Transforce AT is designed to provide on- and off-road traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including snow.

Transforce AT radials feature a Long Link Carbon tread compound molded into a symmetric tread design that uses notched shoulders, independent intermediate tread blocks and multiple sipes to blend dry-road handling with poor weather traction. Wide circumferential grooves provide hydroplaning resistance while lateral grooves and multiple sipes provide the biting edges needed to enhance snow traction.

The tire's structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon to help maintain the tire's shape and enhance performance at highway speeds while a polyester cord body improves ride quality.

Firestone Firehawk GT Reviews

Rating patterns indicate the Firestone Firehawk GT delivers excellent dry traction, with many ratings in the 8-10 range, aligning well with its high-performance all-season design. Wet traction shows strong grip (7-10 scores), though some note variability in hydroplaning resistance during heavy rain. Comfort receives mixed feedback, with lower scores (4-7 range) highlighting concerns about road noise and ride harshness. Treadwear scores are inconsistent, with several reports of rapid wear (0-5 ratings) despite the tire's all-season focus. While dry and wet performance stand out, comfort and durability may fall short for drivers prioritizing long-term refinement and tread life.

...They have performed equally well in the dry and wet conditions and love cornering...

Tyre come stock and have performed brilliantly, driving both city and highway. I push them very hard but don't do anything off tap. They have performed equally well in the dry and wet conditions and love cornering. I would more than likely get another 2k-3k miles out of them if we were not heading into winter

...They handle the rain fairly well, but at red lights during a storm (or even small puddles of water on a sunny day after a big storm) you can have a couple seconds delay in taking off, and I'm sure the cars behind me really appreciate that...

These tires came stock on my 2015 Challenger. They handle the rain fairly well, but at red lights during a storm (or even small puddles of water on a sunny day after a big storm) you can have a couple seconds delay in taking off, and I'm sure the cars behind me really appreciate that. It handled snow and ice relatively well this past winter, but we don't get much here in Oklahoma, so don't hold me to that. Today I went in for a tire rotation and was shown in person that I'm already at the legal limit on all but one tire (which is getting close too), and I only have 18,000 miles on this car. I've never done a burnout in this car, and I typically am driving more to conserve fuel than I am to make myself look like a jerk swerving in and out of traffic, so I was ticked to hear that I shredded these in about half the time other tires go out. Based off of reviews from people in my car club/online, I ordered a staggered set of Firehawk Indy 500's as they're rated much better on life expectency and performance.

Dry traction earns mostly 9s and 10s, with customers praising responsive handling and reliable grip. High-performance design excels in all-season conditions, meeting driver expectations.

...Driving on I-5 in the Cascades of Southern Oregon and Northern California really shows the performance advantage of these tires. Very seldom get another car to match my speed through corners. I make fabulous time in the curves.

...Traction, no problem in all driving conditions.

OEM tires normally do not last long, but these gave me almost 54,000 miles. Not sure why all the negative reviews as these tires performed very well. This I a daily driver with lots of miles. We rotate the tires every oil change. They wore down normally and the only issues was a nail in the sidewall and we had to replace that tire. I just put another set of these tires on my 300 and look forward to another 50,000 miles. Traction, no problem in all driving conditions.

  • 70 positive
  • 105 negative

Winter traction ratings are concerning, with many scores between 0-5. Customers report slippery in snow, lack of ice grip, and sketchy handling. Some note getting stuck or sliding despite the "All-Season" label. While a few gave 7-8s, most feedback highlights unacceptable winter performance, making these risky for serious cold-weather use.

...In snowfall, whether it is an inch or 6 inches, these tires are the worst I have EVER driven!! They constantly slide, every takeoff from a stop is a struggle to get started again, and braking is downright scary!!...

I have a 2018 Chevy Impala LT V6 with about 55,000 miles on it. These tires (235-55HR-18) display acceptable traction, cornering, and stability in the dry and wet. I have had no major problems with them in those conditions. They are just that, acceptable. They are neither great or exceptional at anything. When I first takeoff in the morning, I drive for about a mile on country roads and then I drive for about 5 miles on the interstate to travel to work. First thing in the morning, while on my way to work, the Firehawk GTs would thump and bump for about the first 2-3 miles of interstate travel. They acted like sitting in the driveway overnight caused minor flatspots in the tires that would take that first 2-3 miles to work out. After that first 2-3 miles every day, I did not experience any flatspot feelings. I live in Syracuse, NY which experiences significant snowfall every winter. In these conditions, the Firehawks GTs really disappoint!! In snowfall, whether it is an inch or 6 inches, these tires are the worst I have EVER driven!! They constantly slide, every takeoff from a stop is a struggle to get started again, and braking is downright scary!! I consider myself a very competent driver (I average over 30,000 miles per year) and these tires are constantly testing my driving ability in the winter (I find myself often shifting into manumatic mode to use the engine to help stop the big Impala on snow and ice). If my car had these tires, I would very strongly consider purchasing snow tires for the winter, they are that horrible. If you have to drive on ice, these tires are even worse than driving in snow. I hate to trash a product, but these tires have a split personality. In the dry and wet, they are acceptable (though not great) but snow and ice driving is downright scary! I bet Firestone made the tread compound harder to increase the treadlife! I wonder how Firestone executives could sleep at night with the mud and snow rating on the sidewall of these tires!

These were to original tires that came on the vehicle and they are TERRIBLE. No traction on anything but dry ground. Very unstable feeling with any amount of snow or ice. I could not wait to get rid of these tires.

Mixed comfort ratings with many scoring 0-6 cite harsh ride, unbearable noise, and discomfort. While some give 7-10, frequent complaints about road noise and bumpy performance highlight significant shortcomings.

...Tires are loud and for sure are bumpy to a fault, was starting to think something was wrong with my car (thud, thud, thud 4 sure!!!)...

23,000 miles in on new '17 300S and already need to replace rear tires, fronts are like 60%. I don't drive them hard enough to be needing to be replaced after really what is not a lot of miles. The tires started out good and over the miles, I've noticed all the same as other reviews have listed. Tires are loud and for sure are bumpy to a fault, was starting to think something was wrong with my car (thud, thud, thud 4 sure!!!). Noticed tonight driving home in the rain as well that the resistance to hydroplaning on these tires is downright abysmal enough that I will have to replace these tires outright and I assure you I won't be replacing them with this junk. Is a shame they seemed alright for the first 10-15k, however as others have noted they wear fast and when they wear a bit they don't perform.

  • 129 positive
  • 143 negative

Despite some 9s and 10s, numerous 0-4 scores reveal dissatisfaction with treadwear. Customers report rapid wear, premature replacement, and tread life falling short of expectations for a high-performance all-season tire, with many noting excessive wear or early decline.

...Thread where is terrible I am at 20,000 miles and I don't know if they'll give me another 10,000 miles...

tires came standard with my brand new car. These tires are probably the worst I have ever experienced. Thread where is terrible I am at 20,000 miles and I don’t know if they’ll give me another 10,000 miles. Traction is definitely not great and I would not recommend anyone buying these tires. By far too expensive for what they are.

...Tread wear is abysmal. After only 25k miles the tires need to be replaced not only because of the terrible tread wear but all the tires are cracking...

The Firestone tires I am reviewing are the tires that came with the car. For a "high performance all season tire" dry and wet performance are average at best while snow performance is well below average. Tread wear is abysmal. After only 25k miles the tires need to be replaced not only because of the terrible tread wear but all the tires are cracking. I would expect better performance and much better tread wear for a $200+ tire that is supposed to last 40k miles and is considered high performance all season.

...I'm replacing these tires after 26,000 miles because they're down to the warnings already. Treadlife warranty here says 50k miles...

These tires came stock on my 2018 Dodge Challenger. I'm an adult. I don't peel out. I don't drag race. I rotate them regularly every 6,000 miles.

I'm replacing these tires after 26,000 miles because they're down to the warnings already. Treadlife warranty here says 50k miles. Unfortunately, when you purchase a new car the tires included on the new car have no warranty for treadwear whatsoever.

For $200 apiece, i expected far more. Never again. These are unbelievably terrible tires given their cost.
