πŸ’‘ Is the Firestone Winterforce 2 UV 255/70R16 a Good Tire?

The Firestone Winterforce 2 UV 255/70R16 is a studdable winter tire designed for mid-size SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks. It delivers strong traction on snow and ice with adequate dry performance thanks to its directional tread pattern and winter compound optimized for low temperatures. Ride comfort is firm but acceptable for winter conditions, with moderate road noise typical of aggressive winter treads. Tread life is average for winter tires, which typically wear faster than all-season options due to softer compounds. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 397 consumer surveys, it provides reliable winter performance but requires seasonal swapping and storage when not in use. Currently priced from $159.38, it is available through major online tire retailers.
