Winterforce Studdable Winter
radials are designed to deliver outstanding value at an
affordable price for the owners of domestic and imported
sedans, vans and light-duty pickup trucks, as well as
crossover and sport utility vehicles.
Regardless of the name branded on their sidewalls,
Winterforce (non-branded), Firestone Winterforce and
Firestone Winterforce UV (as in Utility Vehicle) radials
feature the same tread design, compound and new tire tread
depth, as well as feature the same physical dimensions and
internal construction on a size-by-size basis. That makes
them fully compatible and allows them to be mixed and
matched as necessary.
NOTE: Installing less than a set of new tires on four-wheel
or all-wheel drive vehicles may require that new tire(s) be
shaved to the same tread depth as existing tires to minimize
driveline wear and/or damage.
Winterforce winter radials feature an aggressive directional
tread pattern with tread blocks that are siped, stepped
and/or can be studded to offer the biting edges necessary to
provide traction in snow and on ice. Independent tread
blocks feature high-density siping to enhance grip in loose
snow while the intermediate and shoulder tread blocks are
molded to accept studs that further enhance traction on
hard-packed snow and ice. The tire’s internal structure
includes twin steel belts on top of a polyester carcass to
combine strength with ride quality.
All Winterforce winter radials meet the industry's severe
snow service requirements and are branded with the
mountain/snowflake symbol.
Install Winterforce tires in sets of four only.
Vehicles should always be equipped with equivalent tires at
all wheel positions. All Winterforce radials, due to their
exceptional hard-packed snow and ice traction when studded,
must be used in sets of four to help ensure proper vehicle
control.
Pinned to accept optional TSMI #12 silver-colored metallic
winter studs. |
