Very Impressed

Just got my LE3's for my Ram and oh my goodness what a difference from the Bridgestone's it came with. The truck always rode well, but it's better than new with the LE3's on it. The traction is much better along with the stability in corners. I'll be curious to see how they do in the rain. If it's anything like dry the traction, I'll be completely pleased.

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!

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......

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.

70000 Mile Warranty Claim Misleading

My local Tires Plus store recommended this tire on 12/30/20 noting the 70,000 mile limited warranty. I purchased 4 new tires based on the warranty as it was described to me. Today, 7/20/24, (with only 34,790 miles on the vehicle since these tires were purchased) Tires Plus told me that all of the tires should be replaced. Tread wear was down to 3/32. The tires were rotated every 5,000 miles since install. If you are buying these tires, as I did, based on the warranty, you need to shop for a different manufacturer's tire as Firestone's warranty mileage estimates are not even close to being accurate. My vehicle is a 2010 with only 131,440 miles on it. The vehicle gets driven approx. 20 miles per day, all below 50 mph so extreme driving conditions are not to blame.

Good in the snow!

It's not a snow tire but did an admirable job in a couple inches of new snow with hard ice underneath. Acceleration and braking were smooth without much slippage. Climbed a pretty good incline getting into my neighborhood. All without chains!! I'm pretty impressed. Rides smooth and quiet on dry pavement as well. I have about 10k on them so far.

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.

New LE3's

I replaced my set of LE2's today with the LE3 model. My old set had 53K miles, but they were 10 years old, and I have a trip from TN to AZ this month. The old set had plenty of tread left, and have performed very well, dry, rain and some snow. I am sold on these tires and hope the LE3's perform as well as the old ones have. My Ranger is a 4 cylinder 2WD and I drive like an old man.

Terrible tires wore out in 30000 miles.

When I first put these on, they did not handle well. Going around corners. The car would shimmy as if the sidewall was folding. It would be a little hiccup in the middle of a turn. I was going to return them, but the tire shop was no help. And the hassle made me decide to keep them. Here We are 2 years later with 30000 miles on them and they're completely worn out. They are Supposedly rated for 70000 miles. But good luck getting any kind of warranty on them since there's no way to do that. Do not buy Firestone I will never buy Firestone again. steer clear of these tires.

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.
