New tires

I purchased the Destination LE3's for my BMW. The tires ride quiet and I have already noticed a 2 mpg increase. I recently drove through a series of heavy downpours and noticed no loss of traction or hydroplaning. I hope they last as long as they are rated. So far I am quiet satisfied.

Destination le3 review on 4Runner

So far I have nothing but good things to state about these tires. They are working very well in the city, highway and dirt roads. I will write another review once winter comes to review how they are on wet conditions and snow. They are very quite tires and comfortable.

New

I replaced Goodyear Wranglers with these to get better traction on wet roads. The wet traction is definitely better. The first thing I noticed is the steering is a little squirrely with these tires. It's like I have to really pay attention to the wheel and constantly correct or else I'm drifting from side to side in the lane. The goodyears did not do this. Could be they have the air psi too high from 40 to 43. I might deflate them to 36 psi and see how that does. Not as smooth as I'd hoped either; or as quite.

Good tires so far

The tires performnace is good. I had to drive in some pretty bad PA, USA weather and they did quite well. The only thing I don't like about them is the tread wear. After about 30k miles there is only 1-2 mm left above the bars on 1 or 2 of the tires. Not sure if it is the weight of my car as this is the first SUV I have owned but I was hoping to get at least 50-60k out of these tires but they may not make it there.

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.

Very Impressed

Just got my LE3's for my Ram and oh my goodness what a difference from the Bridgestone's it came with. The truck always rode well, but it's better than new with the LE3's on it. The traction is much better along with the stability in corners. I'll be curious to see how they do in the rain. If it's anything like dry the traction, I'll be completely pleased.

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!

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.

So far so good

Have only driven about 500 miles so far on these tires. Only got 19000 miles on the factory tires on my SUV. They ride smoothly & quite. Did my research on them before purchasing & was quite satisfied with what I read. I hope there are also good in the winter snow that's coming. So far I would recommend these.

DO NOT BUY!!!

I have driven these tires for 30k miles and I am already really close to needing to replace the tires. I just had to replace one that had a slice in the side wall. I have had to patch the tires multiple times. The worst tires I have ever had. No durability and the wear on them is terrible. As the title says, DO NOT BUY!!!
