The Winterforce 2 UV is Firestone's Studdable Winter/Snow tire designed for the owners of crossovers, minivans, light trucks and SUVs looking for traditional wintertime traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.
Firestone Winterforce 2 UV radials feature a special cold-weather compound molded into a directional tread pattern. Deep circumferential grooves, wide lateral notches and open shoulder slots help channel slush and standing water away from the contact patch to aid hydroplaning resistance, and the high sipe density tread pattern provides thousands of biting edges for grip in snow and on ice. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of a polyester casing to combine strength with ride quality.
Winterforce 2 UV radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
Install Winterforce 2 UV tires in sets of four only.
Molded to accept optional TSMI #11 blue-colored metallic winter studs.
Los neumáticos radiales, Winterforce 2 UV de Firestone, poseen un compuesto de caucho especial para climas frÃos, moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con patrón direccional. Canales profundos circunferenciales, ranuras laterales anchas y espacios entre los bloques de los hombros, ayudan a evacuar aguanieve y agua estancada del área de contacto con la carretera, para ayudar a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Gran cantidad de ranuras pequeñas sobre los bloques, proporcionan miles de bordes adherentes para obtener mayor tracción sobre superficies con hielo y nieve.
El neumático radial Winterforce 2 UV satisface requisitos de la industria, en relación a condiciones de nieve severa, por esta razón, cuenta con el sÃmbolo ¿tres picos montaña/copo de nieve? (three-peak mountain/snowflake symbol, 3PMSF)

...Best all-round winter and wet tire I have found.
This is my third set over 8 years. I own 5 vehicles and run these on 3 of them. Best all-round winter and wet tire I have found.

...Great traction in snow, ice, mud, wet pavement...
Good fuel economy. Great traction in snow, ice, mud, wet pavement. Obviously not like a deep-lug mud bogger tire but for bouncing around in the desert in a little 2-wd pickup these are great. Smooth ride and reasonably quiet on the highway. The only complaint is a side to side jiggling motion on concrete highways with longitudinal grooves. At my 30,000 tire rotation the shop reported tread depth 12/32. Google in all its wisdom says new tires are 10/32 to 11/32 so I guess wear rate is not too bad :)

Customers overwhelmingly rate the Winterforce 2's snow and deep snow traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. Ice traction also receives strong positive feedback, primarily in the 7-10 range, though a few lower scores suggest occasional variability in extreme icy conditions.

...These tires perform well in all types of winter conditions. Icy roads, light snow, deep snow and oatmeal snow that occurs in urban area roadways. I ordered mine studded on all 4 tires (AWD) and my confidence level for winter driving has skyrocketed...
I live in the Northern New York snow belt. We experience the entire gamut of winter weather including but not limited to lake-generated snow squalls off Lake Ontario. These tires perform well in all types of winter conditions. Icy roads, light snow, deep snow and "oatmeal" snow that occurs in urban area roadways. I ordered mine studded on all 4 tires (AWD) and my confidence level for winter driving has skyrocketed. I would recommend these tires to those who drive in severe winter conditions. They are an excellent tire for the money.

I'm very pleased with the snow/ice traction of these tires. I was surprised how well they maintained traction the first time I drove on snow. I had considered getting studs, but these are great on their own (plus my experience with studs is they have worse traction on dry ground).

I have had these tires on all my vehicles they fit. I deliver the mail-in the country where the plows are not consistent. I only have gotten stuck once at a mailbox where there was ice under the snow. I have had it snow at night halfway up my doors and still, these tires have gotten me out no problem. I will continue to buy as long as they are around. I have had them on 2 years and used in the summer and still have tred left. I just bought another set yesterday for this winter. If you have snow, buy them! I have delivered for 25 years and so far these have been the best tires.
