OVERVIEW: The Firestone Winterforce LT is a highway terrain, winter tire manufactured for light truck vehicles.The winter weather tire compound and directional tread design with the high-density 3D siping design promotes first-rate winter weather traction. The siping detail firmly grips even ice and snow-covered road surfaces to ensure a safer driving experience. The model can be studded with #15, in light truck sizes, to further enhancing the ice traction. The wide circumferential and lateral grooves upgrade the water and slush dispersing ability and increase the tire's resistance to hydroplaning. The model is marked with the tire industry's three mountain peak and snowflake symbol that is given to tires that are able to perform well in the harshest winter conditions.The tread pattern's aggressive directional nature ensures exceptional handling and controllability. The tread pattern's center tread blocks maintain road contact at all times and improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire is reinforced against the driving pressure affecting it, which stabilizes the tire shape, making the drive safer. It also promotes a quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver's instructions and allows the driver to confidently control the tire in all winter conditions. The shoulder tread block sequence boosts the cornering ability and power, with the additional biting edges the tread blocks provide, making the tire easier to control in all situations.The Winterforce LT offers a safer and more comfortable drive with the reinforced internal structure. The polyester body cord allows the tire to closely follow the road surface, which reduces the shock of driving affecting the tire's shape. This decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin, offering an enjoyable driving experience. The strengthened twin steel belts increase the tire's driving durability by providing extra toughness to the tire's shape. The result is a durable tire that is capable of performing to its highest capability.This specific tire is marked with OE as it is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
