Tire Test Results

In this exciting, multi-faceted winter showdown, we compare two of the most popular Studdable Winter/Snow tires, the Firestone Winterforce 2 and General AltiMAX Arctic 12. Both tires were previously untested, so we were excited to see how they performed against each other. Additionally, we took the opportunity to include the AltiMAX Arctic 12 with studs installed to determine how much difference studs make in all aspects of performance. We also included a Studless Ice & Snow winter tire in the ice portion of this test to get a general idea of the relative traction drivers can expect if they choose a strong performer from that category.
