Firestone Winterforce LT Studdable Winter/Snow Tire for Trucks & SUVs in LT265/70R17

Bought these tires and had them studded. This is my third winter with them in Quebec Canada. Snow tires are mandatory where I live and we get a lot of freezing rain and black ice. I have had multiple sets of snow tires on each of my vehicles, but these are great because of the studs. These tires handle very well in snow conditions but I feel that most winter tires will handle well in snow, especially under my Jeep Wrangler. I have never driven with these tires in more than 12 inches of snow, but they did well that day as I pulled a stuck police car out of a snow bank with my jeep. No problem. I am more concerned about ice, black ice, and freezing rain as these are often the most challenging road conditions. With the studs I can hardly notice black ice. The traction in freezing rain is fantastic to the point where if it were not for the other cars spinning off the road and unable to move, I would not know that it is freezing rain. The traction is so good it can be deceptive. I am amazed every time there is freezing rain, and I almost look forward to it now. The soft compound on the tires gives great dry road traction. My studs do not seem to detract from the dry road conditions. In terms of noise I can hear the studs on dry roads when driving slowly. These tires are more quiet then my knobby summer tires that came with my Jeep. But I cannot hear anything from the studs when driving at normal speeds even in my jeep with a soft top. Our other vehicle is a Dodge minivan with winter tires, we do not drive it in ice and snow. Once the tires are worn out I am also changing to same model and studded. I change tires early as I want the best traction, but my tires have not worn very much at all after 3 winters. I will be using them again next year, and based on how long they last it could be 5 years. I am going to be buying another set for my van. If studs are permitted in your area I highly recommend t

This tire does very well rain & snow. but seems somewhat wobbly in the warmer weather conditions. In heavy rain they will stop on a dime. They actually saved me from an accident during a downpour. I'm not sure how they will last I only have about 5000 mi on them. I live near Reno NV it is wet & snow conditions now so I'm not sure how they will do when the weather warms up.

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.

Very good for maine winters. Had them studded. My F250, when locked into 4wd, is a beast on un plowed roads. Definitely a good purchase.

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.

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. The tires have thrown a few of the studs over this time period. 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. Overall perform great and last longer than the Blizzak's that we had on my wife's vehicle in the past

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!

I was looking to buy the General Grabber winter tires like I had on previous F-150 but they were out at the time, so I decided to give these a try. I have yet to have to put the truck in 4X4 this winter, these tires just claw their way through whatever is on the road. Snow, Slush, Ice doesn't seem to matter. I have actually flicked the truck around or stepped on it a few times on purpose just to test them and it just goes where I point it. I will say that there is a section of highway in town that is grooved and the tires do like to follow the wavy grooves when it's dry, that is the only real demerit I can say about them. They are an E rated tire, which is more than necessary for an F-150. I have them set at 50psi. After 4000 miles I have only lost 1/32nd of tire tread, as they start at 18/32 they should last a few good winters.
