About This Tire
The Firestone Winterforce 2 235/45R18 is a winter tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and minivan drivers who prioritize reliable cold-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance in winter conditions. Its directional tread pattern and cold-weather compound focus on maximizing grip through deep grooves, lateral notches, and high sipe density for snow and ice performance.
The tire features twin steel belts over a polyester casing for structural strength, while deep circumferential grooves and wide lateral notches channel slush and water away from the contact patch. With studdable construction accepting TSMI #11 metallic winter studs, it meets severe snow service requirements and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Driver feedback indicates strong wet weather performance and solid dry road handling, with good comfort levels and respectable treadwear 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 passenger vehicles used primarily for winter driving in regions with regular snow, ice, and cold temperatures.
