225/60R16 Firestone Winterforce 2 98S
Firestone Tires
[WINTER-OPTIMIZED COMPOUND] - Special cold weather tread compound stays flexible in low temperatures to maintain grip on snow, ice, and cold pavement where all-season tires lose traction.
[REINFORCED INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION] - Twin steel belts over a polyester casing balance strength with ride comfort, supporting stable handling in winter driving.
[STUDDABLE DESIGN] - Many sizes are molded to accept optional winter studs, enhancing grip on icy surfaces when conditions demand maximum traction.
[WATER?&?SLUSH EVACUATION] - Deep circumferential grooves and sweeping lateral notches help clear slush and water from the footprint, reducing hydroplaning risk in winter rain and slush.
[EXTENSIVE WINTER BITE] - Directional tread with thousands of high-density sipes provides a large number of biting edges that improve traction on packed snow and snowy hills.
The Firestone Winterforce?2 is a dedicated winter snow tire engineered to deliver confident traction, braking, and control in cold, snowy, icy, and slushy conditions for passenger cars, sedans, and minivans. Built with a special cold-weather rubber compound that stays pliable at temperatures well below the seasonal threshold, the Winterforce?2 maintains grip when most all-season tires harden and lose traction. Its directional tread pattern with deep circumferential grooves, wide lateral notches, and thousands of high-density biting edges helps channel water, slush, and snow out of the contact patch, enhancing resistance to hydroplaning and improving performance on packed snow and ice-covered roads. The tire meets the industry?s Severe Snow Service (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) standard, indicating strong winter performance where conditions are harshest. Studdable design options allow for optional metal studs in applicable sizes for enhanced ice traction.
