Firestone  Winterforce 2

All around great tires for a fwd vehicle. Gave traction that i didnt even think was possible for fwd cars in the snow and other elements. Around here water easily pools up in the roads and i had no problems with hydroplaning or traction loss. Treadwear has been minimal and i drive on these every day. Great tires with an unbeatable price

Picked these up with a set of cheap alloy rims from a friend tires were basically new. I have taken them through 2 winters in chicago driving around 10k between both winter seasons and Paired with AWD these tires are amazing braking and acceleration. Wet conditions shows the meaty feel and slips a tad more than a performance tire but still confidence in any wet conditions. Would recommend to anyone regardless of awd rwd fwd.

Traction in snow is excellent. Noise is average for a dedicated winter tire. Tracking is firm and straight. Reliable?....Yes. We have had three sets of these tires of different vehicles. No problems. These Firestone WinterForce tires are equal to my Bridgestone Blizzak tires on my other vehicle (2021 Chevrolet Equinox AWD. Great buy for a Winter tire.

The tires stick to the road
Lots country roads and snow this year
Tires are awsome

They are studded snow tires so low noise and dry road condition driving is not why you get these. They are fantastic in the wet, slush, and icy roads!
I must say the whole experience of buying snow tires with rims, TMPS, and Valves all pre assembled, mounted, and balanced from Tire Rack was an awesome way of dealing with getting snow tires!

Solid Winter Performance, Quirky on Dry Roads

I purchased the Firestone Winterforce 2 tires for my 2021 Mazda MX-5 as a dedicated winter setup, and they’ve handled snow, ice, and wet conditions impressively well. The grip in winter weather is confidence-inspiring, making cold-weather driving much safer and more predictable.

That said, on dry roads, they have a somewhat odd ride feel—not as smooth or connected as summer or all-season tires. They also don’t feel quite as sticky, which is expected for a true winter tire.

Overall, if you're looking for great winter traction at a solid price, these do the job well. Just keep in mind that they may not feel as refined on dry pavement.

Excellent snow tire until the snow starts coming over the hood! Fairly responsive in the dry, forgiving in the snow. I'm buying more for this winter.

Tires (after 1,000 of driving) work well with my Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Driven through one heavy snow storm and tires worked as expected..300 lbs of sand in the trunk and these studded tires give confidence to go pretty much wherever I want within reason. These tires are a little noisy and I can hear the the studs on bare roads (as expected). I can feel the tires flex a little when cornering (again, as expected). Tires balanced with very little weights. Overall, good tires and I would buy again. Third set of tires I have bought from Tire Rack..Great prices and selection. Fast shipping and excellent service. Happy all the way around.

Comfortable ride. Works on snowy roads as I hoped and I have no worries driving.

This is a highly under rated tire. If you live in snow country and are looking for a tire that WILL get you to town and back and are on a budget, this is your tire. I live in the U.P. of Michigan where it really snows. Might be powder, might be slush. This tire is among the best and priced way below most. Even Law Enforcement up here uses them. There are many excellent tires out there. I had some Ice Grips on our Audi Quattro that were unbelievable. Turn off traction control, put your foot to the floor, and Yee Haw!!! But I paid alot more for them. My driving is 95% rural 2 lane, much before the plows come out. There are some reviews of excessive tire wear, I'd have to ask them serious questions, something must have been wrong. Considering what these tires are designed for and the price, treadwear has exceeded my expectations. I thought they would be totally shot by 35000 miles but I was wrong. Technology has come a long ways- used to be a good winter tire was very soft and wore out quick. If this tire is 3 out of 3, the other 2 must be amazing.

The Tire Rack is the Best! Thank you for the Excellent service, and you always have the tires I need for the cars. For my recent purchases I had them delivered instead of picking up at the TireRack Distribution Center in Denver and Wow! The delivery was really fast and only took a few days. Thanks for that superfast delivery! I purchased a set of Firestone Winterforce2 winter tires for the old '90BMW 525i. The Winterforce has worked well for that car for getting around in the snow of Colorado and previously Minnesota for many winters. Tirewear is good for the price and I will buy again. Last set lasted for many seasons. Thanks again!

I bought these for winter driving on my front wheel drive Acura TSX, neglected to buy seasonal tires and just left these on for the past 3-1/2 years.
After ~75,000 miles they are ready to replace, no dry rot, no cupping, no excessive wear.
This is a remarkable amount of miles for a winter tire left mounted and driven throughout the year.
Handles fine, feels great ... I'm ready to just plant a new set on and drive it another 75k!
