The Firestone Transforce HT tires generally receive positive reviews for their performance and value.
The Firestone Transforce HT tires are well-regarded for their performance on highways and their ability to handle heavy loads. They offer a smooth, quiet ride and good value for money, particularly for RVs, trailers, and trucks. However, they may not be the best choice for off-road use or in severe winter conditions. Tread life seems to vary depending on the vehicle and usage, with some users experiencing excellent longevity while others report faster wear.
Positive highlights
Great performance on RVs, trucks, and trailers. Smooth and quiet ride. Good handling in both dry and wet conditions. Excellent tread life, with some users reporting up to 60,000 miles.

Had them on a Ram 2500. These tires are a cheaper tire for a reason. I wouldn't go on to say they are junk either. They preformed similar to the price and that is on the lower end but not crap. They are an excellent tire for running down the highway as they have very low noise and they track well. I was loaded at around 22K for about 25,000 of the 40,000 miles I put on them. Rotated every 10K and at 40K they were done. So I think they did fairly well considering. However, these tires will not do you any good off pavement at all. They won't even dig into your grass as they just sit on top and spin. Snow and ice are slippery as well. Nice even wear and no cupping. They tend to ride a bit rougher than other Michelins I've had.

These tires came installed on my 2017 Nissan Titan XD. Traction is good, but since I live in nc can't rate winter traction. Tread life is very poor with uneven wear. Granted this is a work truck and I pull my lanscaping trailer and loaded it's around 4000lbs. After roughly 15,000 miles the tread in center if tire is almost gone

Overall, a great Tire. I have owned at least three sets. You do need to rotate them often and faithfully to get any kind of extended life out of them. I run them on a 1 ton pickup. I tend to only be able to get a little over a year out of them - maybe 15k miles. Will buy again.

These tires are great but definitely not for any off road action.
The Transforce HT is an all-season tire specially developed to fit light trucks that require easy handling and reliable traction all year-round. So it doesn't matter whether you're driving your truck in rain, heat, or light snow, you are guaranteed a safe and comfortable ride when you have the Transforce HT tires under your car. Ideal for sports utility vehicles, pickups, vans, and commercial trucks, the Transforce HT was designed to be used for highway speeds on the road. It features a symmetric tread design molded with a long link carbon tread compound which provides excellent weather traction. Its notched shoulders and independent intermediate tread blocks provide reliable handling on both wet and dry road surfaces while the continuous center rib ensures straight line tracking. Helping to prevent risks of hydroplaning are the wide circumferential grooves while the lateral grooves and multiple sipes create biting edges so improve traction on light snow.
