About This Tire
The Firestone Winterforce 2 205/65R16 is a studdable winter tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and minivan drivers who prioritize reliable winter traction and seasonal safety in cold weather conditions. Its directional tread pattern and cold-weather compound focus on snow and ice grip while maintaining hydroplaning resistance through deep circumferential grooves and wide lateral notches.
The tire features a high sipe density tread design that creates thousands of biting edges for enhanced grip on snow and ice, while open shoulder slots help channel slush and water away from the contact patch. Built with twin steel belts over a polyester casing, it meets severe snow service requirements and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, with optional stud compatibility for extreme winter conditions. Driver feedback points to excellent wet weather performance and good dry handling, with solid comfort levels and reliable treadwear characteristics.
Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum winter traction and cold-weather performance over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for winter driving in regions with regular snow, ice, and harsh cold weather conditions.
