Pleasant Purchase

I am very pleased with these tires thus far. Smooth, comfortable, and quiet drive. Liking the way they hug the road. Not sure about my fuel savings just yet with the price of gasoline nowadays, but overall the mileage per fill-up has been good. I am hopeful they remain durable as well. Purchased for my SUV and all my driving, which is very minimum, is strictly for pleasure. However, I would recommend this tire as an option for any type usage.

Quiet Ride

Purchased about 8 days ago, and they are as advertised. Offers a very quiet and smooth ride. I have to be careful as the smoothness of the ride sometimes results in accidently going faster than I think I am going, so I am making the adjustment. So far, they handle very well in wet and dry conditions. Much better quality than the original tires that came with the vehicle.

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.

Destination LE3

I did some research and comparisons before buying these tires and I am glad I did because these tires exceed my expectations. I could feel the improved handling immediately when I drove away from the Firestone store. These tires feel like they grip the road much better in steering, acceleration, and stopping. I bought them when they were on sale which really sweetened the deal!

Buyer Beware

Purchased these for my F150 and one tire developed a sidewall bulge at around 20 days / 1000mi. Firestone is refusing to replace this tire or offer refund because it was deemed to be caused by a "Road Hazard or Improper Installation". I was denied a free replacement and had to pay for 1 new tire out of pocket, not very happy. Given Firestone's past blowout reputation, I'm not feeling very good about these anymore and will never again buy Firestone.

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.

Great for all weather

Since I bought these tires it has snowed, been icy and had torrential downpours. They have been great in all these conditions. Living in New England you need a tire that can handle everything Mother Nature throws at you. Best all season tires I have had in 50 years of driving.

My 2nd set

My first set of Destination tires had about 50k miles before I replaced them. They still had tread but were over 7 years old. My 02 explorer is a seasonal drive only so age of tire was starting to show. I just purchased my 2nd set of Destinations and couldn't be more pleased. Excessive road noise on my old Destinations grew louder with age. The new tires are so quite, my 20 year old explorer rides like new. The handling is precise and the vehicle tracks straight where I steer it. I could have purchased any tire but I'm glad I went with the new Destination.

Durable

I got pushed off the highway going 80 mph and hit some rocks. Only one of the tires was damaged but it was a complete sidewall failure. These tires have put up with a lot more offroading than they were meant for and show no signs of excessive wear. If I wasn't planning on buying tires with more aggressive tread I would 100% purchase these again.

Destination tire

My previous tires were destination. July 31st 2023 purchased a set of destination tires, but a week later found out they were 14 months old. I thought I was getting NEW tires. Firestone no longer makes this model tire. Firestone employee did not tell me the tires were going to be this old. I have been Firestone customer for 10 years,I feel that I have been taken advantage of.
