Customer reviews for Firestone Destination LE3 - 245/70R17 110T Tire forLE3 on my Ridgeline
My Ridgeline came with the Destination LE2 tires and they were great. At 61,700 miles, it was time to replace them and I chose the newer model Destination LE3. I'm very pleased with the LE3. The ride and road noise is even better than the LE2. Handling in the rain feels sure-footed and stable. I haven't had them long enough to say much about durability and can't comment about snow performance, it's late summer in Mississippi, but if you liked the LE2, you'll love the Destination LE3.
Bad tires defective
I bought these tires from Firestone and only had them a little over a year after the first 6 months I did a wheel alignment .. then my second alignment about 7 months after and found both front tires inner side bald and threading out . I went to firstone to complain and they basically said that it's not a tire issues .. of course they would say that ... I showed them my wheel alignment report but since I didn't have my first report they there is nothing they can do .... I will never buy or do business with Firestone again ... stay clear of Firestone

Jeep Tires
These tires are great! They provide a comfortable ride and grip the road well in wet weather. I suspect they will do well on snow and ice. We shall see. Tires for this vehicle are never cheap and these are a worthy investment. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and I highly recommend them.
Destination LE3 tires-I'm happy!
I spent a while looking at different tires before deciding these were the ones for my Explorer. I liked the tread pattern, the longer milage wear and price! As soon as I got in the road with the new tires I could tell a difference with the new tires. Nice smooth ride, no noise and great traction when it rains. I'm so happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend these tires!
2010 Dodge Ram 1500
Nice all season tire for my truck that mostly sees highway use. Hopefully these tires will provide the advertised mileage- time will tell. They don't seem as quiet as Michelin tires I had previously however, the mileage I received from the Michelins was disappointing. Nice tires so far.
70000 Mile Warranty Claim Misleading
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.

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!

Great Tires!
Always rolled on Michelins and have replaced them 3 times in 120,000 miles and they were always so loud. Went with these on this go around and WOW what a difference. So quiet, fantastic. I didn't know that tires could make an impact on fuel efficiency but normally where I go through a tank of gas per week, after putting these tires on my fuel use went down about 30pct which is a big deal especially with gas $4.5 per gallon.
Terrible tires wore out in 30000 miles.
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.

Destination LE3 for F150
Good tire. Have a set with 50,000 on them, and looks like I should get another 25k-30k from them, except for one issue. One tire started to peel along the outer sidewall. The tire dealer was unable to resolve the issue with Firestone and so never did anything about it. At 50k, the tire failed to hold air and was not being treated with any warranty guidelines. The dealer stated that I would have to purchase a new set of tires, even though they still looked and worked good with 50K on them. The dealer believes I could get another 30K out of them, if all 4 were intact. I have just started seeking resolution with Firestone and hope they can resolve this situation. I don't want to spend $1200 to replace them until I have full life from them.
