I ran Firestone Winterforce last year and I think they're great! Got them off another member on here.

I've had a variety of different snow tires over the years; Blizzaks are good, but pricey, and very soft so they don't last as long. I had Sailun IceBlazers which were surprisingly good for a "budget" winter tire. My Dad and girlfriend both have Michelin X-Ice, which they swear by.

I would have never considered Firestone, but there they were right when I needed them, for a good price, and I've had no regrets! They also have a very aggressive cut on the shoulders, so they look beefy from afar. With the steelies, it makes it look like a bad-ass little rally car. I just need some mud flaps to complete the look.

Anyways, made it through all of last winter without getting stuck once, and I live north of Bolton where we get dumped on with snow every year.

I'll be putting them on within the next few days.

The rule of thumb is: the WORST snow tire you can get, will still be better than the best all-season.
