Bridgestone

Firestone has launched the Vanhawk 3, the Bridgestone second-line brand’s new summer, EV-ready van tyre for light commercial vehicles. The tyre will replace the second-generation product, offering longer mileage, improved fuel or energy efficiency, and enhanced wet braking versus its predecessor. Integrating the brand’s Enliten Technology, which is applied to the Firestone van tyre range for the first time in this product, the Vanhawk 3 is designed for electric-powered van applications as well as for internal combustion engine powered LCVs.

AutoBild puts campervan tyres to the test

,

Not many tyre testing niches exist within AutoBild Group publications, and another one has now been filled: Testers have added a one-tonne load to a VW Crafter and tested seven size 235/65 R16C tyres on the laden vehicle. Two tyres – the Hankook Valtra LT and Pirelli’s new Carrier Camper – were voted test winners – and were rated “exemplary” along with Michelin’s Agilis+. Continental’s VancoCamper and Dunlop’s Econodrive occupied the mid-field with “satisfactory” ratings. Two tyres, the Firestone Vanhawk and the Nankang Passion CW-20, were rated “not recommended”.
