Jeep on Grooved highways

I find my Jeep handles angerously on highway roads that are grooved, especially in winter. We have plenty in Michigan. The car wanders all over the lanes and really have to have 2 hands on the wheel at all times. Have had car checked at Jeep dealership for bad wheel bearing,tires balanced and rotated, and now they put two new tires on(as a goodwill gesture).. no difference in the drive. Firestone dealership could not test drive due to employee shortage. Unsatifactory response from 1-800 customer care/warrenty.Dangerous would not recommend, and definately will not buy Firestone again.

New LE3's

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.

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!

I would recommend these

I do not have an exceptional amount of miles on these tires yet, but I am very satisfied with them so far. You can only do so much with a 4WD truck in regard to noise and ride, but these tires are so much better than what I had on before. They ride very smooth for being on a truck. I plan on replacing the tires on my minivan with the same tires.

Firestone Destination

I replaced original GMC tires that had a great ride around town and on the highway. And I got 23mpg when I kept speed at 70. But If the road was older or broken the ride was terrible and noise outrageous. Because we travel, I needed to correct this. The new Firestones are quiet everywhere, but have changed our ride. We feel the road much more. Although quiet we feel any imperfections. We had our tire shop balance them at 200 miles. That helped but our overall ride around town isn't as smooth as it was. I'm wondering if I should have gotten a wider tire? The long highway drive this winter should be better.

Good in the snow!

It's not a snow tire but did an admirable job in a couple inches of new snow with hard ice underneath. Acceleration and braking were smooth without much slippage. Climbed a pretty good incline getting into my neighborhood. All without chains!! I'm pretty impressed. Rides smooth and quiet on dry pavement as well. I have about 10k on them so far.

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.

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!

Darn Good Tires

Bought this set at about 40,000 miles to replace the brand that was OEC on my 2020 Frontier. I've bought 4 sets of Destinations between my wife's Jeep Liberty and the 4 Nissan Frontier's I've bought new since 1998. The Destination 3's might just be my favorite replacement tires of all. Quality construction and road worthiness are what bring me back time and again to Firestone Destination. Never a hint of problem with my various purchases. Definitely recommended, will buy again as needed. Local dealer is extraordinary.

Firestone Service

Well the tires are great! I did a lot of research. However, very disappointed in the morons that installed them. A couple of weeks after installation I noticed a strange feeling in the drive. I stopped at a different Firestone, closer to work, and they discovered some serious issues with the install. First, one of the wheels was almost ready to fly off as 3 of the 5 bolts that hold the wheel on were so loose they were doing nothing. Secondly, they removed all the tires and check the balance. 3 of the 4 tires were 1.5 oz out of balance. That is major! This Firestone place repaired everything, rebalanced the tires and sent me on my way with no charge. So, one bad Firestone experience was replaced by a good Firestone experience.
