About This Tire
The Firestone Winterforce 2 UV 225/65R17 is a studdable winter tire designed for crossover, SUV, minivan, and light truck drivers who prioritize reliable cold-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance in challenging winter conditions. Its directional tread design and specialized cold-weather compound focus on maximizing grip through deep circumferential grooves, wide lateral notches, and high sipe density for enhanced bite on snow and ice. The tire features twin steel belts over a polyester casing for structural strength while maintaining ride quality, with open shoulder slots and wide lateral notches engineered to channel slush and water away from the contact patch.
It meets severe snow service requirements and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, with provisions for optional TSMI #11 metallic winter studs. Driver feedback indicates strong performance across wet and dry conditions, with good comfort levels and solid treadwear characteristics for a dedicated winter tire. Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum winter traction and safety over year-round convenience.
Overall, it's a solid choice for SUV and truck owners who need dependable winter performance on snow-covered and icy roads where temperatures regularly drop below freezing.
