Blackhawk is a low-cost tire brand that most US drivers find through online retailers rather than local shops. It is owned by Sailun Tire Group, one of China’s larger tire makers, and its prices sit well below Michelin, Goodyear or Continental. This review covers what Blackhawk sells, what it costs, what the warranties say and what we could not verify.
The short version: Blackhawk’s Street-H passenger tire offers a published 50,000-mile warranty at a very low price, but there is little independent evidence on how the brand performs.
How this review was put together: We have not road-tested Blackhawk tires. This review is based on retailer listings, published warranty terms and retailer ratings, with sources listed at the end. An earlier version of this page described models, warranties and owner mileage we could not verify; it has been rewritten. Checked on October 22, 2026.

Who Makes Blackhawk Tires?

The Blackhawk Lineup
The Blackhawk models listed by Giga Tires in October 2026 include:
| Model | Type | Treadwear warranty | Starting price (Giga Tires) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Street-H HH11 | Passenger all-season touring | 50,000 miles | About $38 |
| Street-H HU02 | Passenger performance all-season | Check listing | Not shown |

Giga Tires’ filters show Blackhawk warranties of 40,000 to 60,000 miles across the range, but not which models carry which figure, so confirm the warranty for your exact model and size.
Blackhawk Street-H HH11: The Core Passenger Tire
The Street-H HH11 is the model most drivers will see. Giga Tires listed it from about $38 per tire in small sizes, with a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 121 reviews in October 2026. That is a very low price for a tire with a published warranty. We have not found independent wet-braking or noise data for it.
Warranty Coverage
According to Giga Tires’ FAQ, Blackhawk’s general limited warranty runs for the life of the usable tread or up to 48 months from purchase, with treadwear coverage that varies by model. Check the warranty PDF linked on the retailer page, and keep proof of purchase and rotation records.
Performance: What We Can and Cannot Say
We have not tested Blackhawk tires and have not found independent braking, handling or tread-life tests for them. Retailer ratings are positive for the Street-H HH11, but ratings alone don’t tell you how a tire stops on a wet highway. As with any budget all-season tire, leave extra margin in heavy rain and use dedicated winter tires where snow and ice are common.
Who Should Buy Blackhawk Tires
- Budget-focused drivers of older or second cars in mild climates
- Drivers who want a published treadwear warranty at the lowest possible price
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Drivers in heavy-rain or snowy regions who want proven wet and winter grip
- High-mileage drivers who want longer warranties and a deeper dealer network
- Off-road users, who should look at proven mud-terrain tires
How Blackhawk Compares With Other Budget Brands
Warranty and price figures below come from retailer listings checked in October 2026.
| Budget touring tire | Treadwear warranty | Price (October 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Blackhawk Street-H HH11 | 50,000 miles | From about $38 (Giga Tires) |
| Westlake RP18 | 45,000 miles | About $53 to $87 (SimpleTire) |
| Leao Lion Sport HP3 | 45,000 miles | From about $52 (SimpleTire) |
| Dextero Touring DTR1 | 45,000 miles | Sold at Walmart |
| Kelly Edge Touring A/S | 65,000 miles | Check retailer |
| Primewell PS890 Touring | 70,000 miles (non-staggered) | Sold at SimpleTire |
Blackhawk’s starting price is among the lowest here, while Primewell and Kelly offer the longest warranties. On a cost-per-warranted-mile basis the gap narrows, so compare quotes in your exact size.
How to Buy Budget Tires Wisely
- Read the DOT date code. The last four digits show the week and year of manufacture; avoid tires that have sat in a warehouse for years.
- Compare UTQG grades within a brand and look for A or AA traction and A temperature grades.
- Price the warranty, not just the tire. Divide the price by the warranted miles to compare cost per mile.
- Keep the paperwork. Budget warranties are prorated and usually require the receipt and rotation records.
