Ford Windstar Tires

Ford was late to the table when it came to the minivan game, but the Windstar was a pretty worthy entry for its time. Ford’s Windstar was a front-wheel drive replacement for the old Aerostar minivan and was released in 1999. The Aerostar went through three generations, with the 2nd-gen models available with a 3.0L or 3.8L V6; 3rd-gen Windstars could be had with a 4.2L V6. More upscale trim levels of the Windstar were available with amenities like a 6-way power seat, 3-zone AC, infotainment, and more. Lower trim levels came with the usual power accessories for an upscale minivan: sliding doors, rear hatch, mirrors, windows, and locks, and the Windstar was named the most dependable minivan on the market by JD Power in 2002. It was offered in base, LX, SE, SE Sport, SEL, and Limited trim levels before being replaced by the Freestar model in 2007.

Drivers in parts of the country that see hard winter weather with inches of snow on the roads for days or weeks at a time have already found out the hard way that most all-season tires are just not up to getting the job done and aren’t able to reliably navigate through anything more than a light dusting of snow on the roads. All-weather tires are designed with much the same performance targets as all-season tires, but with more of a focus on traction to get through tough winter conditions. With that in mind, Bridgestone engineers designed the Weatherpeak’s tread with a thick network of sipes, the hair-thin slits that multiply traction by adding hundreds of extra biting edges, giving drivers the e
