We have driven on this tire for about 3,000 miles from Texas to Deep South Florida. It handles every bit as good as the EL440 that came stock on the car, but it does way better in the rain. I drove it going 65 through some well grooved roads on I-10 and I-75 in some heavy downpours. I never lost confidence, and the car never lost its grip on the road. Wet driving is an area I can definitely say this tire does great within. The MPG has picked up about 1/2 a mile per gallon as well. Anything helps these days!

& IT'S VERY CUMBERSOME & TIME CONSUMING; MAYBE BRIDGESTONE HOPES MOST PEOPLE WILL JUST GIVE UP & FORGET ABOUT IT !!! I HAD TO REDO IT 3 TIMES & NOW WAIT 10-12 WEEKS THAT IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I DEAL WITH CO'S WHO OFFER 1 DAY ON LINE REBATE & GIFT CARDS; SO IT CAN BE DONE I WOULD LIKE 1 OF YOUR SR EXEC'S TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROCESS

Nice tire but make sure that they road force balance them. I've had 2 vehicles for these tires. Both had high (bad) road force values but my local Firestone guy made good on them all and replaced the bad ones right away. So now we have very smooth, great riding tires on my wife's Q5 and my sons Sante Fe. I have firestone LE2s on my Nissan Frontier, my daughter's Lexus ES330 has Firestone weather grips and my other sons Crown Vic had firestone PVS's have to say I am a Bridgestone/Firestone fan.

Had to have tire replaced with less than 250 miles on it due to sidewall bubble. I'm 71 years old and have owned hundreds of tires, and never had this happen before. I think it may have been over-inflated by Firestone dealer where I purchased. Reason I suspect this is because I checked replacement tire after I got home and it had 40 pounds of air. (I check after car was parked in the shade for five hours.)

I purchased 4 new Weathertek tires upon recommendations from online reviews from different sources. I only got 17,786 miles, I have bald patterns throughout the center tread, and had to purchase new tires in order for the car to be inspected. These tires are marketed to last 70,000 miles, minimum.

These tires have amazing wet hydroplaning resistance and snow traction. When driving in a Portland, Oregon snowstorm with 10 inches of snow earlier this year I was the only car that seemed to be able to drive in the snow. Unfortunately after 18,000 miles these tires were down to 3/32nd's despite having them inflated to 40psi front/38psi rear (2 psi above factory spec). Filed a warranty claim and switched to the Michelin Defenders.

Replaced some excellent Continentals with these. Only have a few hundred miles on these and honestly I was concerned about the tread pattern maybe leaving a lot to be desired in dry conditions. So far, my concerns were unfounded. These have been very, very good.

Back in the blizzard of'24, the East TN region ground to a halt as Jack Frost laid down a people's elbow of snow and ice on the unsuspecting folks there. Over night, the green mountains and valleys were placed in the death grip of Queen Elsa's wrath. Normally , my rear wheel drive chariot would have been a cocooned in the garage, more useless than a horse in the ocean. Fortuitously, I purchased these car kicks and the snowy skies parted, the snow and ice disappeared from the roads, and I surmounted every steep road and driveway back home. With my previous wheel prisons, I'd slide when a grasshopper farted, but no longer am I confined by the southeastern snow yeti. Thank you Bridgestone!

Switched from pro contact by continental to these, not sure if it was because my old tires were worn (unevenly) but turning is so much easier in these. Maybe it's because they are brand new, it's taking some getting used to. Slight rumble when driving above 40mph. But continentals did that too. Nothing major. Excited to see how they do in the rain/snow.

Not my first choice. But a good choice. Needed something that would comform to heavy winter driving of Northern Arizona to to hellacious heat of the desert valley. But still give me a long tread life and not break the bank doing it.
