I have Firestone Weathergrip all-weather tires in my escape and they have been just fine driving the past 3 winters in Calgary, with the odd trip out to Banff. I would say they are only questionable once the weather hits -30’s. Other than that they have been comparable to my blizzaks.
Firestone weathergrip on a Ford ecosport and they work well. Ive done Banff on snowy days and down to Radium as well .As always drive with extra caution.
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
I replaced them with cooper road and trail AT tires. They are amazing in all conditions and whisper quiet.
I've had great experience in the snow so far with the Road & Trail and wondering if the Stronghold does similarly for LT sizes
I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
my Cooper Strongholds do pretty well in ice, haven't had much experience with them in snow though.
I just installed these on my sequoia less than a week ago and the balance feels off already . They have what feels like flat spots with pretty good shaking for the first 5-10 minutes after cold start driving . Once tires are warmed up it almost goes away .
Worst tires I have ever purchased. Snow traction was very good for an all season, but these should be marketed as a snow tire. The first set wore out in 13500 miles (in part due to a slight misalignment), and the second set are near garbage after 23000 miles. Most frustrating, is that they have cracked in between the tread. Firestone offered a measly discount as a warranty claim for the first set, I think $15 per tire. Spend the extra money and get a better set of all seasons.
