Purchased From Belle Tire Who Did Excellent A++ Job!!

I purchased these tires and some are saying you must replace all 4 tires with these tires and yet I had a flat tire that started to leak again and then I got another flat tire on a set of 4 tires which has 1/2 the mileage on them and they are also A++ tires and that is the General Altimax RT-43 H Rated tires. Yet, I put the two good ones on the back and was able to get my rims with the flat tires up to Belle Tire and I wanted just a front set of tires and so I purchased two of these tires and put them on the front and tracking correct. Belle Tire did a excellent job on the mounting and balancing of the tires. They feel the same as the General Altimax RT-43 H Rated and that is the Firestone Weathergrip H Rated. I have driven on them some and they drive excellent in the rain and dry conditions. They balanced very nice and have a very nice ride quality to them. They should also do a very good job in the snow because of the stagger step and also release on the open sides of the tires. Thank you for the tires and these are very good tires and as long as paired for either front or rear they drive fine with some other tires. I intend to put about 40k miles on them and get another set of 4 tires and I might get these if they are still available at that time because they are very good tires. Thank you for the tires.

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!!

Best tires ever!!

Immediately I noticed how quiet and smooth these tires made my driving experience. Also, it makes me feel as if I'm driving on marshmallows! Truly the happiest I've ever been purchasing tires. Able to corner at high speeds and heavy rains are not a problem! Now the ice and winter roads will be a true test and am anxious for winter to come now!! ‍♀️

Great Tire. Can't go wrong with Firestone

These are really good tires in dry and wet conditions. They are quiet on the road, they handle really well, and they make my car a more comfortable ride. I haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions yet but I'm sure they will do fine. Overall the WeatherGrip is a great tire and I will definitely purchase them again when the time comes to replace my tires.

A good tire with reasonable price

I just purchased 4 brand new Weather grip by Firestone tires and happy with that. In the past 2 weeks that the tires are replaced, I had no problem with them. My previous tires were Michelin which I paid too much and didn't have a long life. I think it's too soon to have a right judgment about my new tires but so far, so good!!!

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.

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.

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.
