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.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport Reviews

Comfort scores (7-10) reflect a premium feel and quiet ride, though a few note minor road noise. Treadwear ratings vary more widely (0-10), with many reporting strong durability but some expressing concerns over faster wear in aggressive driving. Overall, the tire delivers outstanding dry/wet performance and refinement for its Max Performance Summer category, with treadlife satisfaction depending on usage intensity.

...i hit a 2in puddle on the freeway going 70mph and the car never hydroplaned...

Great tire for performance vehicles has amazing traction in dry conditions and great wet performance i hit a 2in puddle on the freeway going 70mph and the car never hydroplaned. Only thing is it is a noisy tire but not obnoxious like other tires and the grip is so amazing it flings pebbles into the fender liner.

Love this tire for its tenacious grip in both wet and dry conditions...

Love this tire for its tenacious grip in both wet and dry conditions. Generally only get 12-15k miles out of it but those are fun filled miles on twisty roads. Old scca road racer still beating on his daily driver! Not cheap and needs to build some heat when driving in sub-30 degree weather (never in snow) but offers high, consistent performance throughout its life and I’ve burned through several sets.

...Well I'm approaching the wear indicators with 28,000 miles on them. And I always enjoy being in the pole position at a red light!...

Many stories about heavy EV’s like my P85D chewing thru tires, especially these super soft Pilot Super Sports. No way I’m supposed to get over 12,000 miles before their junk I was told. Well I’m approaching the wear indicators with 28,000 miles on them. And I always enjoy being in the pole position at a red light! Wife says “warn me when you’re going to do that ridiculous excelleration”. I think the secret to long tire wear for me is highway driving 90% of the time, and very slow turns on rough surfaces when maneuvering out of or into parking spaces.
Michelin Tires on my Tesla staggarded configuration are incredible! The performance off the all wheel drive is very impressive from the line. 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. Tires lock in tracking perfectly with full on Ludicrous, pulling HARD!!!
Tires provide the Same confidence on challenging North Georgia mountain roads. Extremely crisp & snappy steering. My overall score = 10.0
