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.

Gran cantidad de ranuras pequeñas sobre los bloques, proporcionan miles de bordes adherentes para obtener mayor tracción sobre superficies con hielo y nieve.
La estructura interna del neumático incluye correa gemelas de acero, por encima de una estructura de poliéster, para combinar fortaleza con un andar agradable.

...I've been very pleased with the performance in the snow and on ice. No more sliding on icy hills.
Switched to these after 4 years on Blizzacks. The Blizzacks handled snow well but had poor traction on ice. I live in an area that gets a decent amount of snow and lots of ice. I often found myself sliding after I came to a complete stop on a slight hill (when icy).
I decided I wanted to try to find a studdable tire that would fit my truck, found these. I had studs installed by tirerack, zero issues there.
I've been very pleased with the performance of these tires in the snow and on ice. No more sliding on icy hills.

...These tires perform well in all types of winter conditions. Icy roads, light snow, deep snow and oatmeal snow that occurs in urban area roadways. I ordered mine studded on all 4 tires (AWD) and my confidence level for winter driving has skyrocketed...
I live in the Northern New York snow belt. We experience the entire gamut of winter weather including but not limited to lake-generated snow squalls off Lake Ontario. These tires perform well in all types of winter conditions. Icy roads, light snow, deep snow and "oatmeal" snow that occurs in urban area roadways. I ordered mine studded on all 4 tires (AWD) and my confidence level for winter driving has skyrocketed. I would recommend these tires to those who drive in severe winter conditions. They are an excellent tire for the money.

...The Winterforces provide positive performance in almost any conditions and soon inspire confidence on the road. Perhaps the cornering response could be a little sharper near the limit, but I have had no problems with traction...
First time buying Firestone, as I have always had an impression that they are unreliable and wear quickly. Bought these based on user reviews and price. The OEM tires on Highlander are Bridgestone Alenzas, which are fine for 3 seasons here in New England, but don't cut it in the winter - the Highlander is quite a heavy, bulky vehicle and needs a lot more grip than the Alenzas can provide. The Winterforces provide positive performance in almost any conditions and soon inspire confidence on the road. Perhaps the cornering response could be a little sharper near the limit, but I have had no problems with traction. There is a little background hum (no such thing as a noiseless winter tire), but much quieter/less intrusive than many others (e.g., Blizzaks).I am impressed and pleased.

This is my second full winter running these tires and they have been flawless. I run them without studs.
The treadwear and ice/snow traction is really hard to compare as it is so much better than any all season AT tire ive used before. It feels like the snow and ice is not even there unless you really slam on the gas/brakes. At highway speeds they maintain great control even on ice w/ cross winds and up and down mountain passes.
In warmer conditions (50°F and up) you do notice the sidewall soften up. I have avoided using them in these conditions.
I highly recommend these for a safe winter ride and for great peace of mind.
