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.

Destination LE 3

Have had Firestone tires in most of my trucks. Do field service so on the road a lot in the NY NJ area. Roads are hard on everything. These tires run quiet, great traction in all weather, and are just about worn out with 65,000 miles on them. Like them so much, put a set on my wife's Honda CRV. She loves them due to the tires being so quiet and smooth.

Ride, traction and more, oh my

Well it was time to get new tires for my Ridgeline and Firestone has always been my first choice for getting them. I was happy with the installation. The truck's ride and handing seemed to improve with the new tires. Steering felt more stable and responsive. Tires are never an inexpensive necessity but I felt these tires were worth the investment.

Would Recommend

Although the tires are only 4 days old I have noticed a big difference. It had come to the point where I thought I may need new shocks but my wife being right about everything else suggested I try getting new tires so being the husband that always listens to his wife yeah right so I decided to try these and I can say it feels like I bought a new truck it rides great handles great and very little noise I know there new and I don't know how long this will last but right now I'm satisfied.

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.

Firestone Destination LE3...Excellent!

My OEM tires on my Honda CR-V Hybrid needed replacement at 25k, and I researched all the tires that were recommended for my vehicle. The Destination LE3 and the "M" tires were rated virtually the same, but the LE3's were $300 less. Plus I had the Destination LE2 on my Nissan Rogue, and a friend had them on his Mazda CX7. The LE2's were fantastic, great wear, great performance, and very smooth. I felt the LE3 would be the same, if not improved. So far, I'm right.

Not Satisfied bad ride

Purchased these tires on April 8, 2022, I am not satisfied with the performance and ride comfort Of these tires. I brought a set in 2011 of LE2 and was completely happy with that set. These ride badly not completely sure if it is the tires in itself or not balance properly.

My 2nd set

My first set of Destination tires had about 50k miles before I replaced them. They still had tread but were over 7 years old. My 02 explorer is a seasonal drive only so age of tire was starting to show. I just purchased my 2nd set of Destinations and couldn't be more pleased. Excessive road noise on my old Destinations grew louder with age. The new tires are so quite, my 20 year old explorer rides like new. The handling is precise and the vehicle tracks straight where I steer it. I could have purchased any tire but I'm glad I went with the new Destination.

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!

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
