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

These tires are amazing in snow. They handle great in wet rain and slush.
I hate driving in the snow until I got these . Will purchase again

Only had them on for about a month or more. Little loud with the studs but that is to be expected. Awesome in light snow and ice. Haven't had to battle more than 4 inches yet but I'm excited to try. Very good in the rain as well. Have had lots of rain to test with. Excellent purchase so far and much cheaper than some of the other options. Would definitely buy again.

I ordered these with carbide tipped studs. With that in mind, I expected some higher road noise. Also, never drive in adverse road conditions with negligence and disregard for safety. These tires are outstanding.
I did not give tens in the rating because invariably some people’s driving habits and styles are more “spirited” and I would not want to send a message that causes someone to drive carelessly.
With that in mind, this combination is excellent for snow and ice.

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.

I just put the Firestone Winteforce 2 tires on my 2017 Subaru crosstrek today Wednesday Nov 29th, 20217 They are very quiet on the road and don¿t make much noise. Even at 110 km per hour they were still pretty quiet. Good control on the dry pavement. The rubber is very sticky and lots of good siping. There hasn¿t been any snow here yet on the east coast of Canada but I¿m sure these tires will be great in the snow. I will post an update when the first snow comes.

Knowing that Bridgestone has owned Firestone for over 25 years, and that their Blizzak tires are xlnt having owned them, I decided to try the WinterForce 2 tires thinking Bridgestone would not downscale this tire and reduce capabilities to make a crummy cheaper tire.

Granted they are new and fresh, but these tires work superbly, as well as the Blizzaks and Yokohama Ice Guards I've had before. I was not expecting the performance to be this good frankly. With the AWD on my Acura, it feels like I could climb a tree. Highly recommended, tremendous value in this tire. Can't report on treadware, as we all know that snows driven on warm, dry asphalt exhibit a high wear rate, but I don't do that. Properly cared for, I would think these would last many seasons.

I purchased the Firestone Winterforce 2 tires prior to a winter cross country trip to Colorado. I had previous experience with General AltiMAX Arctic winter tires (which I loved) on other vehicles, and I don't recall why I chose the Firestone Winterforce tires this time, but I was not disappointed. They ride well - good on center feel and not too loud for a winter tire. I was expecting the cornering to be somewhat disappointing given the "S" speed rating and corresponding lack of sidewall stiffness compared to T or H rated tires, but the Firestones held their own. There was plenty of snow in the mountains of Colorado, and I had no difficulties at all given the Winterforce tires and the AWD on the MINI Countryman.

Very pleasantly surprised by the strength and stability of this tire. Consider it a very high performer, with slightly better than expected response time and comfort. It handles as expected or slightly better. Must have for winter/mountain terrain.

I put the Fire stone winter force snow tires on all four corners with a front drive car this is the best set up I have put 750 miles on the tires and have experienced a small amount of snow and the tires performed well in all driving situations i have come across so far The only negatives are tire noise and they ride slightly mushy I found the cost of $912 for the complete tire and wheel package a good deal I plan on having this car for at least another 3 years so the tire and wheel package makes sense I highly recommend these tires for good all around value and drive ability I will review again at the end of winter

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!
