The Winterforce LT is Firestone's Light Truck/SUV Studdable Winter / Snow tire designed for the owners of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vans, SUVs and pickup trucks. Available in Load Range E (10-Ply Rated) sizes, Winterforce LT tires are for drivers looking for traditional wintertime traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.
Firestone Winterforce LT winter / snow radials feature a winter tread compound molded into an aggressive directional tread pattern with tread blocks that are siped and can be studded to offer the biting edges necessary to provide traction in snow and on ice. Independent tread blocks feature high-density siping to enhance grip in loose snow while the intermediate and shoulder tread blocks are molded to accept studs that further enhance traction on hard-packed snow and ice. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of a polyester casing to combine strength with ride quality.
Winterforce LT winter / snow tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
Install Winterforce LT tires in sets of four only.
Pinned to accept optional TSMI #15 blue-colored metallic winter studs.

...Since I also commute to Reno on a regular basis the weather can rapidly change and these tires work magnificently, and have never hydroplaned on me...
Best snow tire ever! I drive all winter in the Tahoe region where we can get 350-700 inches of snow per year. These tires are so amazing I rarely even need to use 4 wheel drive. Since I also commute to Reno on a regular basis the weather can rapidly change and these tires work magnificently, and have never hydroplaned on me. For use in two of my pick up trucks, these tires have been winter saviors.

...Since I've put these tires on my Tundra (no weight in the bed) I have complete confidence to take on any snow conditions that are thrown at me. In 4 wheel drive there isn't much that these tires cannot handle.
I purchased these snow tires specifically for the snow bands that impact Central, NY. We can get snow in the feet and tires are essential. Since I've put these tires on my Tundra (no weight in the bed) I have complete confidence to take on any snow conditions that are thrown at me. In 4 wheel drive there isn't much that these tires cannot handle.

This is our second winter with these tires. The tread is wearing well. We did not have much snow last year. We got stuck in a snow storm this year about 4 inches of snow, The roads were covered in packed down snow in parts and slushy in others. My rear wheel drive Econoline had no issues handled the white stuff great only spun once when stopped at a red light. Might have been me being over confident. Great snow tires.

Got these for a Montana winter. Did pretty well in most winder snow/ice conditions. Mine were not studded. Kept them on through the summer out of laziness and tread wear has been stellar!

...The tread is currently at 13/32 after 7 seasons, started at 19/32. I live in the eastern Finger Lakes Region of upstate NY, and have studded tires for icy boat ramps for later season duck hunting and winter fishing.

I'm starting my 8th season on my studded Firestone Winterforce tires on my diesel truck. The tread is currently at 13/32 after 7 seasons, started at 19/32.

...Treadwear is excellent for the soft rubber it is. Can't see any wear after about 3,000 miles.
These tires with studs have been through two winters in Eastern Washington, and do just what I bought them for. They grab and hold on snowy and wet surfaces, Not noisy for studded winter tires. The truck feels very stable. Treadwear is excellent for the soft rubber it is. Can't see any wear after about 3,000 miles.
