Outstanding performance in winter driving. I've used these for a number of big storms. Snow, slush, snow + ice mixture. On a 4WD vehicle, such as my Jeep, you WILL get to work ( or where ever you need to be ) through plowed or not yet plowed snow covered roads. They aren't cheap, but very well worth the expense if you need to have a ' get through it ' tire like I do.
I just mounted these tires about 2 months ago on my 1995 Ford F-350 4X4 DRW that I use to tow a 31' gooseneck that I haul 11-12 tons hay with. I've loaded out in the field in 4" snow. Their traction is very impressive, can start out with a full load no problem & breaking a path in snow without slippage. A great tire for a reasonable price I highly recommend them !
This is just a really good winter snow tire. Performs very well in snow and ice.
Great winter tire. Excellent traction on a GMC 2500HD.
Have had these for two seasons and about 20K. I ran them last year on my 1996 4runner, and this winter had them on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. First, the good stuff. These tires grip. I was on the fence about studs, as they're illegal in WI, but enforcement is lax to say the least, and are roads are already rubble and will be for the foreseeable future. I opted not to get the studs, and can't say I regretted it. Even studless, these tires grip on ice amazingly well. In the 235/85r16 "pizza cutter" size, popular with overlanders, they sliced through snowpack to the firm stuff beneath without fail. They also did well in rain and sleet. At 20k or so, I'm still at 14/32"s, so they've worn like iron on the light, nimbleToyotas. That brings me to my next point, and the only real downside. The E-rated tires will make your 1/2 ton ride like a empty dump truck. Too bad, because the E-rated only 235/85r16 size looks perfect on a Toyota.
I have used the winterforce for years. Good reliable snow tire. Great winter traction.
good tire
Best snow tires I have ever tried.
Love these tires!
Get technical:
The Firestone Winterforce LT is a studdable winter tire that's designed for use on light trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, and commercial vans, and offers drivers increased traction on ice and snow, superior strength for hauling materials and commuting, and longer tread life.
Features & Benefits
- Winter tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently above 45 degrees Fahrenheit
- Black sidewall
- Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for use in severe winter weather conditions
- Backed by Firestone’s 90 day Buy and Try Guarantee on tires sold in sets of 4 or more (certain restrictions and limitations apply)
- Directional tread design ensures quieter and more comfortable rides
For drivers who are on the road for several months a year, it pays to have a suitable winter tire that can handle tricky conditions and give them the confidence to tour the country. Fortunately, the Firestone Winterforce LT is one such studdable winter tire that can be pinned with #15 studs for improved handling in severe snow conditions (remember to check the use of studs in your State). The high-density sipes and directional tread pattern of the Winterforce LT provide maximum traction, and the detailed sipes and robust rubber compound also ensure longer tread life. The twin steel belts and a polyester casing give the tire adequate strength to haul materials and this 6-ply rated tire is also optimized for enhanced ride comfort. In addition, the deeper tread depth of the Winterforce LT helps in seamless mobility during colder conditions. The Firestone Winterforce LT can be used on vehicles like the GMC Sierra 2500, Dodge RAM 1500, Toyota Tundra, Jeep Wrangler, Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and Nissan Xterra.
