These tires can't handle the tining (groves carved into the concrete in the direction of travel) of a large amount of Iowa roads. These groves in the road are supposed to improve drainage and provide more traction. Unfortunately, with these tires, there is too much traction. Steering is difficult and exhausting if traveling on a long stretch of highway. The car shifts all over, making an extremely uncomfortable ride. At one point, after 1.5 hours of driving, an alarm went off on my dashboard telling me I need to keep both hands on the wheel. I DID have both hands on the wheel for the entire 1.5 hours in order to keep the vehicle on the road. These are my first Firestone tires, previous tires I have owned never had this issue. I heard they might need to be "broken-in," so I have given them a chance. 5,000 miles later, there is no improvement. I have had everything else on the car that could be causing the problem checked out - alignment, suspension, etc. No issues, just the tires. I have been to the tire dealer to see if they could help me with getting different tires, like maybe some credit since the tires aren't very old - I thought Firestone would have some sort of customer satisfaction built into their warranty. The dealer said there is nothing they can do, I will have to buy new tires if I don't like them. I will definitely have to get new tires, I can't take another 50,000+ miles of this. I will NOT buy Firestone again! If you travel on tined highways, avoid these tires!

My local Tires Plus store recommended this tire on 12/30/20 noting the 70,000 mile limited warranty. I purchased 4 new tires based on the warranty as it was described to me. Today, 7/20/24, (with only 34,790 miles on the vehicle since these tires were purchased) Tires Plus told me that all of the tires should be replaced. Tread wear was down to 3/32. The tires were rotated every 5,000 miles since install. If you are buying these tires, as I did, based on the warranty, you need to shop for a different manufacturer's tire as Firestone's warranty mileage estimates are not even close to being accurate. My vehicle is a 2010 with only 131,440 miles on it. The vehicle gets driven approx. 20 miles per day, all below 50 mph so extreme driving conditions are not to blame.

Purchased these for my F150 and one tire developed a sidewall bulge at around 20 days / 1000mi. Firestone is refusing to replace this tire or offer refund because it was deemed to be caused by a "Road Hazard or Improper Installation". I was denied a free replacement and had to pay for 1 new tire out of pocket, not very happy. Given Firestone's past blowout reputation, I'm not feeling very good about these anymore and will never again buy Firestone.

When I first put these on, they did not handle well. Going around corners. The car would shimmy as if the sidewall was folding. It would be a little hiccup in the middle of a turn. I was going to return them, but the tire shop was no help. And the hassle made me decide to keep them. Here We are 2 years later with 30000 miles on them and they're completely worn out. They are Supposedly rated for 70000 miles. But good luck getting any kind of warranty on them since there's no way to do that. Do not buy Firestone I will never buy Firestone again. steer clear of these tires.

Replaced 4 Bridgeton tires with plenty of mileage left because they provided a hard noisy ride that I could no longer tolerate. This is the 7th set of Destination tires on 5 vehicles and these are the smoothest, quietest tires out there. Also these tires are good in mud, snow and Florida concrete roadways.

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.

These tires (4) were on the Bronco Sport when we purchased it new and we drove these tires past the wear bars. They performed perfectly for 51k miles. We replaced them with the same exact tires recently and are very pleased so far. Highly recommend them for this application.

Scheduled on line and on phone for Friday evening 10/15 4 tire install. Arrived early for appointment...Only 2 Tires. Others not in til Saturday. So. I took off work Sat Then wouldn't honer the 'Out the Door'Price Advertised. Got me for extra Franklin . Destination lll Firehawk..Blizzak owner. Will now purchase elseware. I'm hooked on the product though. Destination IIIs are great so far. Ride and wet traction better than my Armadas Michelin Defenders

I replaced my set of LE2's today with the LE3 model. My old set had 53K miles, but they were 10 years old, and I have a trip from TN to AZ this month. The old set had plenty of tread left, and have performed very well, dry, rain and some snow. I am sold on these tires and hope the LE3's perform as well as the old ones have. My Ranger is a 4 cylinder 2WD and I drive like an old man.

I got pushed off the highway going 80 mph and hit some rocks. Only one of the tires was damaged but it was a complete sidewall failure. These tires have put up with a lot more offroading than they were meant for and show no signs of excessive wear. If I wasn't planning on buying tires with more aggressive tread I would 100% purchase these again.
