About the Firestone Weathergrip

Year-Round Confidence, Winter Certified.

Best forDaily commuters and family drivers in variable climates who want a single tire that handles rain, light snow, and occasional severe winter conditions on sedans, minivans, and CUVs.

The Firestone Weathergrip is a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified all-weather tire built for coupes, sedans, minivans, and CUVs. Unlike a standard all-season tire, it carries a certified severe-snow rating, making it a genuine year-round option for drivers who face winter precipitation regularly without wanting to swap to dedicated winter tires. A 65,000-mile tread life warranty backs the long-term value.

The Weathergrip uses a symmetrical tread pattern featuring Snow Traction Claw technology — snow vices positioned on both center and shoulder blocks that sharpen grip across wet, dry, and snowy surfaces. Full-depth 3D sipes run across all ribs to maintain snow traction as the tire wears and to promote even wear over time. Open shoulder slots channel water away efficiently, reducing hydroplaning risk on rain-soaked roads.

Questions about this tire

What does 195/50R16 84V mean?

195 is the tread width in millimeters, 50 means the sidewall is 50% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 84 is the load index (1,102 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Is the Firestone Weathergrip a true all-weather tire, or is it just a standard all-season?

The Weathergrip is a genuine all-weather tire — a step beyond a conventional all-season. It carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, which means it has met industry standards for performance in moderate to severe winter conditions including snow and slush. That certification is not awarded to standard all-season tires.

Can the Weathergrip fully replace dedicated winter tires?

For most drivers who face typical winter weather — snow, slush, and cold wet roads — the Weathergrip is a capable year-round solution. However, if you regularly encounter deep snow or sustained icy conditions, a dedicated winter tire will still deliver superior performance in those extreme scenarios. The Weathergrip is best suited to drivers who want strong winter capability without seasonal tire changes.

What vehicles is the Firestone Weathergrip designed for?

The Weathergrip is engineered for passenger vehicles including sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, minivans, and crossover SUVs. TFS Wheels stocks it in 53 sizes spanning 15-inch through 19-inch rim diameters, covering a wide range of fitments in those vehicle classes.

How long should a set of Weathergrip tires last?

Firestone backs the Weathergrip with a 65,000-mile limited tread life warranty. Achieving that service life depends on proper inflation, regular rotation, and normal driving conditions — factors that apply to any tire. Following the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule will help you get the most out of the warranty coverage.

Where are Firestone Weathergrip tires manufactured?

The majority of Weathergrip tires are produced at Firestone's facility in South Gate, California, though some sizes may be manufactured at other Bridgestone-Firestone plants. Firestone has been part of the Bridgestone family since 1988, combining American brand heritage with global manufacturing resources.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
