The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.
I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
Firehawk Indy 500. They've been great and also really good grip in winter/rainy weather. I have about 26k miles on them with plenty of tread still. And they're cheap.
I\u2019ve had decent luck with the all weather Firestone Destination At/2 and I had some nokians before that that were really good but treads wore a bit faster.
I\u2019ve got Firestone weathergrip from the previous owner of my Outback wilderness and they have been great in the snow for our commute in Lake Ontario snow belt.
We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.
Those are suredrive sold by firestone. Do not even think of taking these on any ice or snow. Firestone sells all season tires that have the capability of going in snow but these are not it. These are entry level tires.good enough for highway and city driving but that\u2019s it.
I own a 991.2 GT3 and its a terrible daily. No lane keep or radar cruise. No parking sensors. No keyless entry. Fixed carbon buckets. No heated steering wheel. Loud tire noise. etc.
