About This Tire

The Firestone WeatherGrip 225/50R18 is an all-season tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and crossover drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and enhanced snow traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on meeting severe snow service requirements while maintaining all-season performance capabilities.

The WeatherGrip features a directional tread pattern with Firestone's Hydro-Grip Technology Package, which includes a rounded footprint for water penetration, full-depth grooves, and open shoulder slots to resist hydroplaning. The tire qualifies for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, indicating it meets industry standards for severe snow service.
