Description
Firestone's Champion Fuel Fighter is an all-season tire designed for sport coupes, sedans, SUVs and crossovers.
- Lower rolling resistance helps save money on fuel
- A reliable tire with a longer lifespan
- Offering a comfortable ride on dry and wet roads
The Champion Fuel Fighter tire features lower wear and greater tread strength, resulting in lower fuel consumption.
Its silica impregnated rubber compound and symmetrical tread pattern provide optimum traction and handling on dry pavement. One of the new mix and tread design goals was to increase tread life and improve fuel efficiency, and Firestone has done an excellent job.
Wet traction is provided by the tire's four circular grooves that expel water and reduce hydroplaning risk.
Firestone engineers added full-depth sipes to the Champion Fuel Fighter, giving the tire better grip on light snow, but it's more of a problem like all-season tires when faced with heavy snow and ice.
Dry handling and cornering stability are excellent. This all-season tire holds the road with confidence and offers a good feeling of safety in corners. The ride is smooth and comfortable.
Overall, the Champion Fuel Fighter offers the right balance of performance, and the low rolling resistance saves fuel.
