Firestone Winterforce 2 185/65R15 88S Studdable Winter/Snow Tire 148844 OLD
💡 Is the Firestone Winterforce 2 185/65R15 a Good Tire?
The Firestone Winterforce 2 185/65R15 is a studdable winter tire designed for compact sedans and small hatchbacks. It delivers solid snow and ice traction with adequate wet weather performance thanks to its directional tread pattern and winter compound designed for temperatures below 45°F. Ride comfort is firm but acceptable for winter driving, though road noise is more pronounced than all-season alternatives. Tread life is moderate for its category, as winter tires typically wear faster due to their softer compounds. Rated Good by TireRack based on 448 consumer surveys, it provides reliable cold-weather performance but should be swapped for all-season tires once winter conditions end. Currently priced from $85.27, it is available through major online tire retailers.
