235/55R17 Firestone WinterForce 2 – 3PMS Studdable Winter
Category: Winter – Studdable
The Firestone Winterforce 2 is a studdable winter tire built for cars and minivans. It is designated with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification and has full depth tread features, a special cold weather tread compound and open shoulder slots to provide excellent winter traction. The Winterforce 2 has long lasting performance you can rely on year after year and with optional stud pins you have the availability to increase your winter traveling safety.
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. Can be studded where local regulations allow.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 99 means each tire can carry up to 775 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating S is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 180 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
- Studdable means the tire has pre-formed stud holes and can accept metal studs where permitted. Ontario bans studs on most public roads. Quebec allows them seasonally — typically October 15 to May 1. Check current provincial rules before installation.
- 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
