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.

New quiet tires

I have the previous LE 2 on my other vehicle and I am so pleased I went with these LE 3 on our second vehicle. Much more quieter then the original tires and although we haven't had them long we are pleased so far. The Firestone dealer was great as well. Used the web site to order and make appointment and was serviced upon arrival.

So Far, So Good

Admittedly, I have a very limited experience so far with these tires to offer a comprehensive review but so far, so good. I needed to replace the factory included Dunlops on my RAV4 and with the vehicle being one of THE most popular on the roads today, there are a myriad of tire choices so there was a lot of comparing to do. I've always like Bridgestone/Firestone tires and have had good experiences with them over the years so I focused on their offerings. The Destination LE3 seems to have the best combination of value, expected tire life and confirmed performance in most weather conditions. I hope they don't let me down but so far they seem to be a great option.

Better than the last set

While I just got the tires on my truck today, I am impressed with the ride. I took off the Destination LE2 tires and installed the Destination LE3 tires. Right away I noticed, and my wife noticed also, the difference in the ride. It was almost as good as our Malibu. And, there was no noise. I count this as a WIN! I am happy with my purchase. Yes, I know I gave 5 stars for durability, traction, and value, and I just bought the tires, but I am so impressed with the tires that I'm looking into my crystal ball and seeing good things.

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.

Excellent tires

Local Firestone center installed four of these new tires on my Durango R/T. Super quiet ride and confidence inspiring traction. Have not put them through an Upstate New York Winter yet, but I'm pretty confident they will handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them.

Road-trip miles

We use our vehicle mostly to take long road-trips in. The previous tires had almost 50,000. Miles on them at replacement time. We take at least 2 road tips a year that are around 2500-3000 miles round trip. With my previous general tires that came on the vehicle I would get a solid 22 mpg. With The new firestones I get 21.8. I also notice on our first trip with the tires a slight vibration at around 79-84 miles per hour. I usually never drive this fast and I would only notice the vibration on the road-trip- in places that we could not avoid the higher speeds. I have an appointment for an oil change in a few days and have requested for my new tires that only have right at 5000 miles to be re balanced. Other than those two issues the tires are fine. We have driven through a lot of very hard rain and the tires did fine. I just hope we can get the shimmy or vibration issue resolved. The vibration is not bad. Just a slight vibration. I we didn't take road-trips I prob wouldn't notice it. But. This should not be happening. Thank you Jay B.

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.

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?

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!
