About This Tire

The Firestone Winterforce 2 195/60R15 is a studdable winter tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and minivan drivers who prioritize snow traction and ice grip during harsh winter conditions. Its directional tread pattern and cold-weather compound focus on maximizing winter performance through high sipe density and deep groove channeling.

The tire features a specialized rubber compound that stays flexible in cold temperatures, molded into a directional tread with deep circumferential grooves and wide lateral notches. Twin steel belts over a polyester casing provide structural strength while maintaining ride comfort, and the design accepts optional TSMI #11 metallic winter studs for enhanced ice traction. Driver feedback indicates strong wet weather performance and reliable dry road handling, with solid comfort levels for winter driving conditions.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum winter traction and meets severe snow service requirements with 3PMSF certification. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for winter driving in snow-prone regions where studding may be beneficial.
