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.

Strong armed

Went in to fix a flat and was told that I had to replace all 4 tires because the flat couldn't be fixed and they couldn't put a different tire on my car than the others. I asked for a less expensive tire but they only had 3 in stock. It was 5pm and they were closing at 7pm. I spent $1100 to fix a flat. STAY AWAY FROM FIRESTONE IN DANVERS MASS IF YOU'RE A WOMAN ALONE.

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.

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 recommendation

Purchased a literal used one owner older lady that drove a 2015 Escape for 23000 miles!. Put 7 on it and realized they were the OEM Nexen tires. Not great. Called my personal Tires Plus, as always, and they said get the LE3 Firestone. It was a huge difference just driving out the door. Perfect car for Central Florida weather and travel. Noticeably more comfortable and secure.

Great tire for a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J - 225/70R15

Excellent tire with gorgeous white lettering. I instantly noticed better traction, ride comfort and noise reduction versus the previous tires. I would recommend this tire to anyone who has a vintage 60's or 70's classic muscle car on a 15-inch wheel who wants classic Firestone white lettering on a modern high performance radial tire.

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.

My to go tire

I bought these for the first time about 3 years ago since it had a deal around thanksgiving. Works nice in winter and summer. We take our highlander everywhere when we travel so they worn out but bought them again last month because I like the way it ride plus there's always deals on them. Great tire for any season we'll definitely buy again once it comes time.

just bought Destination LE3's

Just bought 4 Destination P255/55-R20 LE3's for my 2016 Buick Enclave at advice of local trusted Firestone Dealer who has sold me tires for years and provided service support for my family's vehicles. Replaced 4 Bridgestone P255/55-R20's that wore well for 5 years & 50,000 miles but developed some cracks in the grooves. New Destinations are great tires so far, super smooth on some local super bumpy brick streets, and quiet on 70 mph freeways. I gave 5 stars for all attributes except durability; can't say much about durability since they are only 2 weeks old.
