The Transforce HT w/UNI-T is Firestone's Commercial Highway All-Season tire developed to combine comfort with light truck tire capability for sport utility vehicle, pickup, van and commercial vehicle drivers. The Transforce HT is designed primarily for on-road use by providing predictable handling and year-round traction on dry and wet roads, as well as in light snow.

On the outside, Transforce HT radials feature an all-season Long Link Carbon tread compound molded into a symmetric tread design that uses notched shoulders, independent intermediate tread blocks and a continuous center rib to blend handling, foul weather traction and straight line tracking. Wide circumferential grooves provide hydroplaning resistance while lateral grooves and multiple sipes provide the biting edges needed to enhance light snow traction. On the inside, twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon help maintain the tire's shape to enhance performance at highway speeds while a polyester cord body enhances ride quality.

Customers Say

Customers praise the Firestone Transforce HT's long-lasting treadwear and comfortable ride, with many noting its smooth performance and quiet operation on highways. Dry traction receives consistently high marks (8-10 scores), delivering confident handling and stability. Wet traction is generally reliable, though a few users report reduced grip in heavy rain. Winter performance shows mixed results-while some appreciate decent snow capability, numerous reviews highlight poor ice traction (common 0-4 scores) and recommend caution in severe winter conditions. The tire's all-season versatility satisfies most drivers for year-round commuting, but those in icy climates may need supplemental winter tires for optimal safety.

I noticed a big improvement over my previous tires in wet and dry traction...

I noticed a big improvement over my previous tires in wet and dry traction. What I like best about these tires, is the stability and handling when hauling my 35 foot travel trailer. They are also very quiet! I am very pleased at their on pavement performance. This will come as no surprise but their off road capability isn't great, but then again they are rated for the highway (HT) and not all terrain (AT). I would recommend these tires for those who need an E load rated tire that plan to load them fairly heavy. These are a good tire for the money. I will buy these again when I need tires, but by looking at the tread, it looks that will be a while.

This tire provides good traction on dry and wet roads... Noise level is very good even as the tire has worn as well as the traction in dry and wet conditions...

This tire provides good traction on dry and wet roads. It's fairly well mannered and long wearing however the first 30% of the tread depth wore quicker than expected.Seems like the wear is slowing down as the tire ages (if that's even possible). Noise level is very good even as the tire has worn as well as the traction in dry and wet conditions. The only complaint has been the cornering and general road feel. The tire does seem to wander a little especially on uneven and crowned road surfaces and this was especially noticed when the tire was new. I've either gotten used to it or its not as bad now with 40,000+ miles. I will replace these in approximately 5 to 10 thousand more miles so they should easily go 50 to 55 thousand and still be legal. I'm satisfied with the tire for quality, handling, and price. Will consider buying again.

...They are very good in the rain and on both dry roads and dirt roads...

I put these on as a replacement for a set of Michelins ,big mistake these tires are noisy, and on the rear of a 2002 Dodge 2500 2x4 Turbo Diesel the rears wore very fast and it's time to find a replacement for the rear tires after 2 1/2 years of ownership. They are very good tires in the rain and on both dry roads and dirt roads but againI can hear them over my Cummins.

...The traction is great. These tires grab the road and refuse to let go...

This tire has exceeded my expectations in all catagories. It is quiet, smooth, and the treadwear is great. Based on the current rate of wear, I expect to get between 70K-80K out of them. I have the tires rotated and balanced every 5K miles, which really helps the life of the tires. The traction is great. These tires grab the road and refuse to let go. I occassionally haul heavy loads and the tires perform well. They do not sway side-to-side when fully inflated (80 psi). I tow a 30' travel trailer that wieghs about 8K pounds when loaded. I have never had a problem with traction or sway with these tires. We don't get much snow in AL, so I do not know they perform in snow or ice. I highly recommend these tires.

I really like these tires, they look good and have good deep thread. My truck handles very good and the ride is very comfortable. I've had them for over one year and have no complaints here. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for for a good heavy duty work tire.

I just replaced my Michelin LTX/Load E with the fstone, and cannot believe how smooth the new tires ride!...

I just replaced my Michelin LTX/Load E with the fstone, and cannot believe how smooth the new tires ride! I have dedicated snow tires, so do not need snow/ice traction, but on the highway, you cannot go wrong with this tire! Also, the tread looks a little more agressive than other "highway" all-season tires, so at least it still looks like a "truck tire", but does not have the noise of an AT tire.

...Have 120,000 miles on tires and probably 10K-20K treadwear left. Have always used these tires on three vans over 10 years, will keep doing so.

I drive a Chevy Express 2500 gasoline cargo van, mostly highway, hauling up to 2700 pounds, in all 48 continental states, in all weather. I do avoid heavy snow and ice, but usual winter weather is not a problem. Have 120,000 miles on tires and probably 10K-20K treadwear left. Have always used these tires on three vans over 10 years, will keep doing so.

...Second set went 137,000 miles and still had tread, but replaced anyway. (I'm sure I could have gotten 150,000). Current set has 18,000 and still at 11/32...

This is my third set. The first was on it when I bought my van. I put 95,000 miles on that set, so I was sold. Second set went 137,000 miles and still had tread, but replaced anyway. (I'm sure I could have gotten 150,000 ). Current set has 18,000 and still at 11/32. I drive van expedite, so mostly Highway, but have driven every road type, and every weather condition. In 250,000 miles on this vehicle, I have never had an alignment or changed any front suspension parts. I do rotate every 10,000 miles. Never had so much as a low tire pressure much less a flat.

These show M&S on the side wall. Nothing could be further from the truth. I had to have my pick-up in 4 wheel drive to move in 2 inches of snow. On shallow muddy trails they lost traction and would not hold in place but started sliding backwards. Not fun when heading for a drop-off.
