Great tire for a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J - 225/70R15

Excellent tire with gorgeous white lettering. I instantly noticed better traction, ride comfort and noise reduction versus the previous tires. I would recommend this tire to anyone who has a vintage 60's or 70's classic muscle car on a 15-inch wheel who wants classic Firestone white lettering on a modern high performance radial tire.

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.

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.

Traction

Traction on these tires for the type of truck I have is not good if the roads are dry they are fine but if they are even a little wet the rear end will slide I did not buy them they came on the truck when I got it but I do not recommend if you have a V-8

Stop Looking and Buy These Tires

These are the best tires I have owned and I could not recommend them any more highly. I have a 2014 Subaru Forester that is about 50/50 city/highway driving. It rarely is on gravel and never off-road and never at the track (or driven like it is at the track.) Nearly all the miles are on dry pavement with occasional rain and very rare snow. All of the previous tires we have had on the Forester were much noisier - including Champion Fuel Fighter and FS All Season. We noticed how much less noise there was on the highway immediately. At 75-80 mph, there used to be so much noise that it wasn't comfortable to carry on a conversation - now it is fine. We have 15,000 miles on this set and it looks like they are going to wear *much* better than the previous tires - we still have over 8/32nds tread (starting at 10/32nds) meaning we are only a quarter of the way to 2/32nds (when they have to be replaced.) When I was shopping, the Destination LE3 kept coming up on the short lists (5-8 brands/offerings - LE3 being the only FS entry in the list) of the best tires for my car. Most of the others were quite a bit more expensive. The LE3s are the most expensive that FS offers for my car, but that is still only 50% more than Firestone's least expensive (and with how well they are wearing, they may actually cost less per mile to own.) I'm very happy and confident with their performance. I have a lifetime alignment at FS and I've felt that FS has been generous with prorating remaining mileage on the old tires when I get a new set. So 5 stars across the board and I could not be happier with these tires.

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?

What a change

I purchased these tires as my OEM tires on this vehicle needed to be replaced after only 22,000 miles - disappointing. At the same time these new tires from Firestone changed the ride dramatically - much smoother and quieter so to this point I'm very satisfied. Hoping they wear well and provide good winter traction.

Tried On Ice

I just put these on my vehicle this fall. I've liked them on dry and wet pavement. For the past couple of days I've had to drive in very icy conditions and felt very confident while using appropriate caution with these tires. No slipping on the ice and was able to pull out on an incline from a full stop without slipping. Very pleased so far.

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.

3 Set I've Purchased

I had bought a set of Des. LE3 for my previous truck and was very satisfied with how they held up in Jersey Streets. So when I bought my new truck decided to purchase them again and was still a great purchase. Now just bought them again for a third time. I've hit many pot holes, and many random objects floating around, and the tires held up very well, never bubbled, cracked, popped. Highly recommend.
