SUBIE CAN DOOO

Bought these for my Subie. I live in Oklahoma and we get all kinds of crazy weather. Not the snow that some get but we almost always get a good shellacking before we get out few inches of snow. These did just fine for my wife and I. And when we get a good Okie tornado storm blow through we can get several inches of rain in a very very short time. Not sure if anyone has ever used the Oklahoma Highway/street systems but lets just say that they would have to work pretty hard to make it up to sucking level! These tires never failed or let me down. And a good old Okie summer day can see a temp of 110 so you can only imagine the street temp... again, never failed me in the least. Soooo..... are these the best, maybe not, But I've not found anything that I like more. But more importantly... these mounted on my sure footed Subaru make for a safe drive. That peace of mind when my wife is driving the car is well worth the price of the tire!!

Great Colorado Tires

Bought these after one of my OEM tires blew out. Comparative to the OEM tires on the car the weather grips are a little higher on the road noise but by no means deafening. Where these tire excel though is the winter and rain, I have driven on these tires to Crested Butte and Breckinridge during ski season and never once did I feel like car was going to slide out from under me. In fact, with these tires in the snow I've had to TRY to induce the car into oversteering. I have also driven through some flash flooding in Manitou Springs and when other cars were noticeably hydroplaning mine was constantly planted. If you are more focused on a quiet ride these tires are not for you. But if you are looking for some higher grip on adverse condition All season tires that aren't as loud and inefficient as All terrain tires these are a really good option to consider. I've surprising gotten 35 mpg with them, and my car is rated for 31 mpg.

Great Tires, second set

The tires did great in all weather, we get mild winters but I worked on top of a mountain and conditions were pretty bad in winter time. They did great in rain and on dry, lasted just about the entire tread life. lost stars on Value due to the rebate. Not so happy on the rebate offer, so far it had been rejected due to what they said was a "Blurry or Illegible Invoice" the re-submission now just claims to be Not Approved.

Snow Event

We have gotten over 2 ft. of snow this weekend. When I got caught out in part of it. I was very happy with my new tires. I didn't slide, I didn't spin, they worked like I was hoping they would. Other cars were struggling, but I wasn't. I am also happy with how much quieter they are on dry roads compared to what I had on prior. Now if they last as long as they should, I will be one super pleased customer.

Reputation

Bought these for my son's Jeep Liberty. He is going to college in Michigan's upper peninsula where they measure the snow in feet, not inches. I am hoping to hear good things from him after driving in the snow. I've had Firestone snow tires on my Jeep and have been very happy with them! I plan to buy some for my daughter's car this fall.

I got them at a great price.

I've used Firestone tires on this car the last 2 or 3 sets. I put a LOT of miles on it driving Uber\Lyft. These are the best price for good quality tires I could find. The extra grip tread on this set has already impressed me by climbing up some ridiculously steep driveways and taking unexpected curves with no slipping. I'm a fan of Firestone products AND their professional full service garages. ~R.

Great tire, but only lasted 35,000 mile

It was a great tire, but only lasted half what was warranted. Got a replacement set of tires, but was charged for mounting and balancing, which I think is an oversight in their warranty policy. They're great as a one-tire, but don't expect them to last long.

Out of balance feeling

I bought these and had to bring them back three times and I still have a shake like an out of balance feeling and fire stone kept telling me there's nothing wrong with them. I have now driven them approximately 15,000 miles and im surprised my teeth are still in my head.

Mileage rating is not accurate

These tires performed well for the first 10k miles, after that point the performance went downhill quickly. The rating of these is listed at 65k miles I stretched these to just over 30k at which point I had to change, being that I had a young driver now I could not trust having my daughter use my car & feel safe with her driving. This is my second time of giving Bridgestone/Firestone brand tires a chance, & never again will I purchase a Bridgestone/Firestone tire.
