Default Winterforce M+S Studdable Winter radial tire



i was just looking at these tires and i love the look they have. they come in 225/75/16 which is stock size for my truck but i have 265/75/16 on my truck now which they also carry. the best part is the 225 are only $61 each and the 265s are 75 a piece!

does anyone know of this brand or tire?

I have never heard of that brand before, they may be some off-brand of a major tire company?

we just got a shipment of 900 of those tires....they are great for the price. I work at a firestone in washington....they work very well in the winter, but i wouldn't run them anytime else. they are very soft so they grip very well...but they will wear out very quickly if you run them on dry pavement during the summer. They are winter tires only, and the difference you will feel with them is almost nite and day during the winter. Just incase your wondering they are made by firestone....

yeah, I live in Alaska and I depend on good winter tires. I have four new of them in my truck right now. going to put them on at 1:30. They are really good for the snow. Good price too. A step up would be the Blizzak, which doesn't even need studs. About $115 a tire. Try to get steel studs--the aluminum ones wear out quicker and will cost $ to get replaced.

They are made by Bridgestone.

bridgestone dueler alenza ht's are one of the best tires out there. about 170 a piece or so, but have around a 65 or 70 thousand mile warranty on them, so they will last longer then your truck lol. Not a very aggressive tire. A much more agressive tire that looks really good is the bridgestone dueler at revo. Very good tire, and very quite, but does very well in all weather conditions including snow. About 160 a piece depending on size, also has a 50,000 mile warranty which is amazing for an all terrain tire......another good tire is the firestone destination at. a little more of a traditonal at tread then the deuler at revo, and about 10 to 20 dollars cheaper on each tire. They have about a 40,000 mile warranty. Lemans pathmaker at's are also a decent highwaytire, with a more car like tread to them at aruond 150 a piece. I would definatly recommend the dueler at revo for you though, very aggreasive tire but still very quite and will last forever.....they have them on tirerack.com...
