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.

HAPPY SURPRISE

I PUT MY SET OF NEW TIRES AT 55,000 MILES. I DID NOT EXPECT THE TIRES TO LAST AS LONG AS THEY DID. I RAN HANKOOKS ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY LAST 20,000 MILES AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH THESE. IVE USED MICHELIN, GOODYEAR AND PIRELI BEFORE. I HAVE SURPRISE THAT THESE ARE A GREAT ALTERNATE TO THOSE COMPANY AND THE PRODUCT IS SOLID AND WORKS GREAT. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH AND QUIET, LOW TO NO ROAD NOISE UNTIL ABOUT 125,000-130,000 MILES. THEY HANDLE GREAT IN SNOW AND IN ICE. THESE ARE REASONS WHY I WILL STAY WITH THESE TIRES AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. THEY DID JUMP UP IN PRICE FROM WHAT I INITIALLY PAID FOR THE OTHER SET. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CONTINUE WITH WHAT IS WORKING FOR ME.

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.

LE3 Tires

Ive been a Bridgestone Tires customer for over 20 years now on cars trucks & Rv's , but when my Firestone Tire store were i make all my Tire purchases suggested that i look at these tires,,,, well at first i said NO .. but then he showed me the numbers that the others that have ran these tires in my area & their shares about them.. So reluctantly i agreed to try them with a total 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.. after the first fall weather and snow winter in Northwest Illinois i was a NOW fan of the Firestone LE3 tires .. I live in south western Oregon Now and will be looking for these tires while shopping this week.. Hopefully they are still as good as my last set turned out to be....FYI... I WOULDN'T suggest these for Trucks !! i would only use for SUV & Cars.... Happy Trails Too You (-:

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.

My to go tire

I bought these for the first time about 3 years ago since it had a deal around thanksgiving. Works nice in winter and summer. We take our highlander everywhere when we travel so they worn out but bought them again last month because I like the way it ride plus there's always deals on them. Great tire for any season we'll definitely buy again once it comes time.

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!

Durable

I got pushed off the highway going 80 mph and hit some rocks. Only one of the tires was damaged but it was a complete sidewall failure. These tires have put up with a lot more offroading than they were meant for and show no signs of excessive wear. If I wasn't planning on buying tires with more aggressive tread I would 100% purchase these 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?
