Firestone Destination LE3...Excellent!

My OEM tires on my Honda CR-V Hybrid needed replacement at 25k, and I researched all the tires that were recommended for my vehicle. The Destination LE3 and the "M" tires were rated virtually the same, but the LE3's were $300 less. Plus I had the Destination LE2 on my Nissan Rogue, and a friend had them on his Mazda CX7. The LE2's were fantastic, great wear, great performance, and very smooth. I felt the LE3 would be the same, if not improved. So far, I'm right.

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.

So Far, So Good

Admittedly, I have a very limited experience so far with these tires to offer a comprehensive review but so far, so good. I needed to replace the factory included Dunlops on my RAV4 and with the vehicle being one of THE most popular on the roads today, there are a myriad of tire choices so there was a lot of comparing to do. I've always like Bridgestone/Firestone tires and have had good experiences with them over the years so I focused on their offerings. The Destination LE3 seems to have the best combination of value, expected tire life and confirmed performance in most weather conditions. I hope they don't let me down but so far they seem to be a great option.

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.

Destination LE3

This is the third set for multiple vehicles of the Destination LE3. I really like these tires. We have winter weather a lot and these perform better than any other tire I've used. The OEM tires just don't perform as well as these tires do!. I have replaced other major tire brands in favor of the Firestone Destination LE3.

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!

Excellet tire

I purchased 4 Destination LE3 for my 2019 Ram 1500 limited. Replacing Michelin tires that only lasted 38,000 miles. I have driven about 500 miles. The tires are very quite on the road, handling is great and I'm getting about two more MPG. And saved 100.00 per tire over the Michelin. Have not had the chance to drive in a major rain, but I like the pattern on the tire to help with driving in rain.

My 5th set of Destination's

I have 235,000 miles on my Chevy Silverado. I've run nothing but the Firestone Destination LE's The Tires has many great attributes. They are extremely quiet for a light truck tire. Even though the tread design does not look aggressive, does very well in snow and ice. They wear evenly across the tread no I usually wear patterns. If There is is a negative it's the tread life. On average I get between 40 and 45,000 miles on a set. Overall a great tire

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!!!

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.
