Harsh conditions require strong equipment if you want the job done. With Firestone's new affordable Winterforce LT, this isn't even a challenge. That's because this passenger tire is specially developed for winter use. It works on SUVs, light trucks and commercial vans and provides the best performance in icy, snowy and wet conditions too. Also, what makes this product special is the pinned placement for #15 studs. The presence of it is the certification for extra grip for winter driving.
Starting with a winter tread compound formed into an aggressive directional pattern, this gives helpful traction in risky weather. Put onto, the sipes also come in handy, providing the same role. Then, the ribs will stabilize and protect the Winterforce LT from deterioration. Moreover, between them come four grooves, that will rapidly evacuate water. The semi closed lateral shoulders are the finishing touch here, making the tire eligible for supporting maximum weights of: 1,520 lbs.
Moving onto the interior part, twin steel belts on top of a polyester casing combine to provide strength with ride quality. Also, they resist punctures coming from the exterior. This makes possible the reaching of maximum speed of: 106 mph. The best vehicles used with these tires are: Dodge Ram and Jeep Wrangler, according to the buyers.
Finally, the manufacturer gives a 90-day returning possibility if you are disappointed with it. The wheel comes in different sizes, such as: LT215/85 R16, LT225/75 R17 and 245/70 R17.
