The Firestone Transforce HT3 245/70R17 is an all-season highway tire designed for pickup trucks, commercial vans, and work vehicles.

The Firestone Transforce HT3 245/70R17 is an all-season highway tire designed for pickup truck, van, SUV, and commercial vehicle drivers who prioritize durability and reliable year-round performance in demanding conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on load-carrying capability, chip and tear resistance, and maintaining traction across varied weather conditions.
The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with closely spaced independent blocks for versatility on rough roads, while wide circumferential grooves and full-depth lateral slots help evacuate water to reduce hydroplaning. The long-life, chip and tear-resistant all-season compound is engineered with zig zag siping that delivers biting edges for slippery conditions while maintaining tread block stability. With only 4 driver evaluations available, the performance data remains limited, though the tire is engineered specifically for the stress of hauling heavy loads.
Compared to passenger car all-season tires, it emphasizes heavy-duty construction and load durability while maintaining highway comfort and year-round capability. Overall, it's a solid choice for work trucks and commercial vehicles used primarily for hauling and highway driving in varied weather conditions.
