Firestone Destination

I replaced original GMC tires that had a great ride around town and on the highway. And I got 23mpg when I kept speed at 70. But If the road was older or broken the ride was terrible and noise outrageous. Because we travel, I needed to correct this. The new Firestones are quiet everywhere, but have changed our ride. We feel the road much more. Although quiet we feel any imperfections. We had our tire shop balance them at 200 miles. That helped but our overall ride around town isn't as smooth as it was. I'm wondering if I should have gotten a wider tire? The long highway drive this winter should be better.

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.

Will buy again

On my 3rd set now. Car came w/this tire. Made the mistake of purchasing another name brand as my third set. Three replaced before halfway through warranty. Also too much vibration & road noise. Haven't been on the freeway yet but I anticipate quiet for a change. Never had any problem in the worst winter weather with these on my car. My niece purchased same for her suv when I recommended them. Was on my 2nd set then. Great tire.

Fireston makes a great tire.

I've been driving over 2.5 hours a day round trip through all of my 37 year career. I've tried many brands but I always keep coming back to Firestone. I'm able to get over 60,000 miles and they handle the snow very well. Far better than any other brand I've used.

Initial 3 mile test of 3 miles

Sounds better, rides better so far. Old tires had somewhere between 60,000 and 91,289 miles on them, were quite noisy, rode rough and were down to the wear bars. These new LE3's are quite an improvement. I guess time and miles put on will tell the real story.

Strong armed

Went in to fix a flat and was told that I had to replace all 4 tires because the flat couldn't be fixed and they couldn't put a different tire on my car than the others. I asked for a less expensive tire but they only had 3 in stock. It was 5pm and they were closing at 7pm. I spent $1100 to fix a flat. STAY AWAY FROM FIRESTONE IN DANVERS MASS IF YOU'RE A WOMAN ALONE.

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.

4 NEW TIRES

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 1.5 YEARS AGO AND THE MASTERCRAFT LSR TIRES ON IT WERE JUST NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ON. I PAID MORE THAN I FELT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR 4 NEW FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3 TIRES, BUT THE IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE IN HOW THE VEHICLE FELT, SOUNDED, AND HANDLED, QUICKLY OFFSET THE FEELING OF THE HIGH COST. I WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN. THESE TIRES ARE WELL WORTH IT.

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!

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.
