Great All 'Rounder

These tires have outstanding wet traction. (Not sure why that's not an option under "attributes.") Additionally, I use them in light off-roading on my AWD Highlander and the tires work fine. I am a repeat user of these tires, and have had them on both my SUV and a 4x4 truck. They have a quiet ride, good mileage, and are reasonably priced. The only drawback is the mileage, I got about 60k, not the 70k as rated, and my use is probably pretty typical maybe 40% city and 60% highway.

Good tire

Good tire for the money. Just purchased and no complaints so far. Ride is quiet but only had dry weather driving so far. Can't say what it will be like in rain and snow this year yet. Had a bit of a sticker shock when I purchased them from a privately owned shop, but service was fast and good, so not gonna complain about that.

My go to tire!

Certainly not the most expensive tire you could buy. But absolutely the best you can buy for value , longevity, reliability and performance. I have purchased these a total of 5 times for our 2 vehicles over the 9 years. I can't think of single time these tires disappointed me. Great tires all around!

just bought Destination LE3's

Just bought 4 Destination P255/55-R20 LE3's for my 2016 Buick Enclave at advice of local trusted Firestone Dealer who has sold me tires for years and provided service support for my family's vehicles. Replaced 4 Bridgestone P255/55-R20's that wore well for 5 years & 50,000 miles but developed some cracks in the grooves. New Destinations are great tires so far, super smooth on some local super bumpy brick streets, and quiet on 70 mph freeways. I gave 5 stars for all attributes except durability; can't say much about durability since they are only 2 weeks old.

Fireston makes a great tire.

I've been driving over 2.5 hours a day round trip through all of my 37 year career. I've tried many brands but I always keep coming back to Firestone. I'm able to get over 60,000 miles and they handle the snow very well. Far better than any other brand I've used.

Back on the Road Again

Love saving the money on gas with these smaller tires. Got them as a birthday gift after my dad found out i was carrying an portable airtank around with me just to get from point A to point B. It was a wonderful surprise and really not a moment too soon! They also sent him a gift card afterwards for the purchase. Thanks so much Dad!!! Love ya!!! ~♡Ambi B.

Chevy Colorado Z71

Used the Destination LE and LE2 on my Dodge Dakota. After 3 sets, I traded for a new Chevy Colorado in 2016. The Goodyear tires, 2 sets, only lasted an average of 33,000 miles. Bought the new Destinations LE3, they were lasting up to 55,000 miles on my Dodge Dakota. A NO BRAINER!!! Joe G

Great for all weather

Since I bought these tires it has snowed, been icy and had torrential downpours. They have been great in all these conditions. Living in New England you need a tire that can handle everything Mother Nature throws at you. Best all season tires I have had in 50 years of driving.

3 Set I've Purchased

I had bought a set of Des. LE3 for my previous truck and was very satisfied with how they held up in Jersey Streets. So when I bought my new truck decided to purchase them again and was still a great purchase. Now just bought them again for a third time. I've hit many pot holes, and many random objects floating around, and the tires held up very well, never bubbled, cracked, popped. Highly recommend.

Intolerable ride on Iowa roads

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!
