Tire Replacement Service

Sam’s Glendale Tire Center did an excellent job of quickly installing and balancing the tires on my 2007 Ford F150. The price was the least expensive we could find by a significant margin. Ed and the crew were very helpful in ordering the correct size and mounting a spare on the extra rim for no cost. It was a great experience overall with top level communication throughout the process.

Stop Looking and Buy These Tires

These are the best tires I have owned and I could not recommend them any more highly. I have a 2014 Subaru Forester that is about 50/50 city/highway driving. It rarely is on gravel and never off-road and never at the track (or driven like it is at the track.) Nearly all the miles are on dry pavement with occasional rain and very rare snow. All of the previous tires we have had on the Forester were much noisier - including Champion Fuel Fighter and FS All Season. We noticed how much less noise there was on the highway immediately. At 75-80 mph, there used to be so much noise that it wasn't comfortable to carry on a conversation - now it is fine. We have 15,000 miles on this set and it looks like they are going to wear *much* better than the previous tires - we still have over 8/32nds tread (starting at 10/32nds) meaning we are only a quarter of the way to 2/32nds (when they have to be replaced.) When I was shopping, the Destination LE3 kept coming up on the short lists (5-8 brands/offerings - LE3 being the only FS entry in the list) of the best tires for my car. Most of the others were quite a bit more expensive. The LE3s are the most expensive that FS offers for my car, but that is still only 50% more than Firestone's least expensive (and with how well they are wearing, they may actually cost less per mile to own.) I'm very happy and confident with their performance. I have a lifetime alignment at FS and I've felt that FS has been generous with prorating remaining mileage on the old tires when I get a new set. So 5 stars across the board and I could not be happier with these tires.

Highly recommended!

These tires comes with 70,000 mile limited warranty and an upgrade to what I had before, was 10,000 miles more. I love the warranty reduced price and this was definitely a plus for me in purchasing these new tires. Joe, the rep that took care of all my tire needs was really accommodating and very professional. Truly appreciated. The price of these tires are really awesome too, can't beat these price anywhere else here. I highly recommend these tires for the price, the warranty and dependability for any weather conditions!

Firestone Destination LE/3 Tires rock!

Bought an awesome set of 4 tires from Jimmys Tire and Lube in Clay City this month on a recommendation from a guy named Wesley. He knew his stuff; and they are great tires! Ride is super confortable and really quiet, and they seem to hug the road and don't roll in a turn. I fully expect a long ride from these babies and I will buy them again! Thanks Firestone, and thank you to Wesley for suggesting these great tires.

Best Tire I've ever owned

Got a set of 4 of these tires about 2 months ago. Immediately felt a very improved ride, tire noise reduction and handling of my Sorento. I never realized how much a great tire could make in the performance of a vehicle. It's a pleasure to drive my car again. Very little to no tire noise inside the car. Holds the road perfectly and feels like I am driving on a cloud. Great handling in inclement weather too. These tires are worth every penny and the 70K warranty is a plus. Thank you Firestone for making a remarkable tire.

5th Set of Destinations

In general I love this tire for large passenger vehicles and light trucks. Just purchased a set of LE3 for my Trailblazer after getting the full mileage from my last set (LE2). (60,000 with a fair amount of tread to spare; bought new because sidewalls were drying out and cracking). The ride and durability are best in class. FYI I had 2 sets of Destinations (LE and LE2) when I had a Suburban, got great mileage out of the tires and thought they were stable and quiet. Recently replaced a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tires on my 2006 Hemi Charger with Destination LE3 tires. I had two sets of the Serenities on it. Liked the first set, did not really like the second. They felt twitchier. The ride with Destinations is much superior and the car is glued to the road. The stiffer sidewalls on the Destination make it a great tire for larger passenger cars.

Destination le3 review on 4Runner

So far I have nothing but good things to state about these tires. They are working very well in the city, highway and dirt roads. I will write another review once winter comes to review how they are on wet conditions and snow. They are very quite tires and comfortable.

Destination LE3 for F150

Good tire. Have a set with 50,000 on them, and looks like I should get another 25k-30k from them, except for one issue. One tire started to peel along the outer sidewall. The tire dealer was unable to resolve the issue with Firestone and so never did anything about it. At 50k, the tire failed to hold air and was not being treated with any warranty guidelines. The dealer stated that I would have to purchase a new set of tires, even though they still looked and worked good with 50K on them. The dealer believes I could get another 30K out of them, if all 4 were intact. I have just started seeking resolution with Firestone and hope they can resolve this situation. I don't want to spend $1200 to replace them until I have full life from them.

DO NOT BUY!!!

I have driven these tires for 30k miles and I am already really close to needing to replace the tires. I just had to replace one that had a slice in the side wall. I have had to patch the tires multiple times. The worst tires I have ever had. No durability and the wear on them is terrible. As the title says, DO NOT BUY!!!

Missing chunks

After 15,000 miles, all 4 of my tires are missing chunks and have several cracks about to leave chunks out. I went to see if they were under warranty. Salesman said it was from driving on a dirt road so no. I haven't had a flat yet so roadside assistance doesn't replace them. I do not off-road this truck. I have less than 1/8 mile of dirt between my house and paved highway. How can you make a truck tire that can't handle dirt?
