RE: 2007 Dodge Caliber, Firestone Affinity and Firestone FireHawk Original Equipment Options
They definitely saved some bucks here. I assume the Firehawks are on the R/T. They're about the cheapest and worst performance tire you can buy. I had some on a Ford Contour SE a few years ago. Incredibly, since usually there are tradeoffs, they're bad at everything: ride quality, handling, dry traction, wet traction, snow traction--everything!
But they are cheap.
