Select Vehicle or Tire SizeThe Winterforce is Firestone's Studdable Winter / Snow tire designed for the owners of coupes, sedans and minivans. Available in P-metric and Euro-metric Standard Load or Extra Load sizes, Winterforce tires are for drivers looking for traditional wintertime traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.
Firestone Winterforce radials share the tread design, compound, internal construction and dimensions of earlier Winterforce tires. This makes them fully compatible and allows them to be mixed and matched as necessary.
NOTE: Installing less than a complete set of new tires on four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles may require that new tire(s) be shaved to the same tread depth as existing tires to minimize driveline wear and/or damage.
Firestone Winterforce winter / snow radials feature a winter tread compound molded into an aggressive directional tread pattern with tread blocks that are siped, stepped and/or 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 winter / snow radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF).
Install Winterforce tires in sets of four only.
Pinned to accept optional TSMI #12 silver-colored metallic winter studs.

El neumático Winterforce de Firestone pertenece a la categoría: Con Pernos Para Invierno y fue diseñado para conductores de autos cupé, sedán y minivan. Se encuentra disponible en tamaños P-metric y Euro-metric con cargas Standard Load o Extra Load y ofrecen tracción tradicional sobre superficies secas, mojadas y cubiertas con nieves.
Los radiales Winterforce comparten el diseño de la banda de rodamiento, compuesto de caucho, construcción interna y tamaños de las versiones anteriores. Lo cual, las convierte totalmente compatibles y pueden ser mezcladas si es necesario.
NOTA: Al instalar menos de un juego de cuatro en vehículos con tracción en las 4 ruedas o tracción total, puede requerir que los neumáticos nuevos sean afeitados a la altura de los existentes, para así minimizar un desgaste irregular o algún daño.
El neumático Winterforce posee un compuesto de caucho moldeado en una banda de rodamiento agresiva con diseño direccional, que cuenta con bloques o tacos escalonados con pequeñas ranuras en la superficie y pueden utilizar pernos para proveer mayor tracción sobre hielo y nieve. La sección intermedia y del hombro aceptan pernos, para mejorar la tracción sobre hielo y nieve compactada, mientras bloques independientes con múltiples ranuras sobre la superficie proporcionan mayor tracción sobre nieve suelta.
La estructura interna del neumático incluye correas gemelas de acero en la parte superior de un armazón de poliéster, para combinar fortaleza y un andar mejor.
El Winterforce satisface requisitos de la industria, en relación, a condiciones de nieve severa, y por eso, posee el símbolo "montaña/copo de nieve" (mountain/snowflake).
Instale el Winterforce en grupos de cuatro solamente.
Puede aceptar pernos metálicos color plata TSMI #12.

Once again from Northern Sweden, home to a number of great winter test sites and plenty of snow and ice, we tested a tire's ability to accelerate, brake and drive through the Arctic snow and on ice.
This round included several Studdable Winter / Snow tires, each featuring deep treads molded in aggressive patterns designed to dig their way through the snow while including molded-in holes to insert optional metal studs for enhanced ice traction. We compared the General Altimax Arctic (both unstudded and studded) along with unstudded Firestone Winterforce and Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires.
