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.

Awesomeness

Really happy that I decided to purchase these tires. Big difference noticed in fuel economy, with a bump up of about 2.5 MPG. I have the 5.7 in my WK2. They perform very well in the rain also, waiting to see about snow. These tires are worth the money.

Great ride

Bought these on the recommendation of Navy Exchange garage. Very happy with my purchase. These ride extremely well and road noise is minimal. Traveled to North Carolina on them several times. Will buy them for our Outback when they are replaced next month.

Better than the last set

While I just got the tires on my truck today, I am impressed with the ride. I took off the Destination LE2 tires and installed the Destination LE3 tires. Right away I noticed, and my wife noticed also, the difference in the ride. It was almost as good as our Malibu. And, there was no noise. I count this as a WIN! I am happy with my purchase. Yes, I know I gave 5 stars for durability, traction, and value, and I just bought the tires, but I am so impressed with the tires that I'm looking into my crystal ball and seeing good things.

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.

Firestone Destination

These Firestone Destination LE3's are my 2nd set. The first set replaced the more aggressive off-road type tires that were on the car when I bought it. The LE3's are a much more quiet and comfortable ride, and I did get the then rated 60,000 miles on them. I just put the new set on my Honda Pilot, and am very pleased with them. I am disappointed that the white accent lettering is no longer available, but hopefully will get 70,000 miles on this set!

Great ride on these new shoes!

Just replaced my 35K+ Hancook factory issued tires {that were on the cusp} with 4 new Firestone Destination LE3s, and immediately could tell the difference in ride comfort & road noise. I'll be enjoying these for years to come, and driving in NC Spring rains and Winter snows in the Mountains just got a lot less stressful. Thank you for the peace of mind, Firestone......

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

Didn't even get 50k miles out of them

Outer and inner tread wore before the center. I had alignment checked and it was great from the time we got them till now. I have proof to show it. Tire pressure stayed the same the whole time"I have tpms sensors". In the snow they had a hard time taking off at a stop. We bought them last year and I have 2 tires that need replaced and two that are getting close.
