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)

These are studded tires. They meet all of my expectations and the wheels look better than the stock wheels. It is worth noting that there have been days when I was the shuttle service for family members because our driveway was so slippery that I was the only one able to get up and down without getting stuck. They perform very well on public roads that are snow covered or icy. Two thumbs up!

...These last for years FYI.
Great tires for rough winters in Northeast. They are loud and def not greatest ride quality but that is somewhat par for the course. Best bang for buck. If you are not price sensitive I would suggest spending more on quieter and better riding snows but to get same performance ur prob gonna spend double. These last for years FYI.
