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.

These are great all around tires

I have driven the 8 hour trip from Ohio to South Carolina countless times and these tires are quite and smooth. I have had excellent control at high speeds through deep puddles (they aren't prone to hydroplaning), I have driven on muddy gravel hunting roads in the mountains of North Carolina and never had traction issues, I have gotten through up to a foot of snow with no issues, and never gotten stuck as long as I have had them. Overall I think they are a great tire if you want to have street tires that can get you through some occasional off road use. The only reason I rate the traction with four stars is because they aren't an all terrain tire and occasionally they slip on wet pavement in you try to accelerate quickly from a stop.

Destination LE 3

Have had Firestone tires in most of my trucks. Do field service so on the road a lot in the NY NJ area. Roads are hard on everything. These tires run quiet, great traction in all weather, and are just about worn out with 65,000 miles on them. Like them so much, put a set on my wife's Honda CRV. She loves them due to the tires being so quiet and smooth.

Great upgrade from the LE2 Destination

These tires are much improved from the Destination LE2. If your a fan of Firestone tires and are looking for a great tire, these are them. Quiet on the highway, great tread for when driving in wet conditions as well as on dry and in those hot summers in Texas.

Road-trip miles

We use our vehicle mostly to take long road-trips in. The previous tires had almost 50,000. Miles on them at replacement time. We take at least 2 road tips a year that are around 2500-3000 miles round trip. With my previous general tires that came on the vehicle I would get a solid 22 mpg. With The new firestones I get 21.8. I also notice on our first trip with the tires a slight vibration at around 79-84 miles per hour. I usually never drive this fast and I would only notice the vibration on the road-trip- in places that we could not avoid the higher speeds. I have an appointment for an oil change in a few days and have requested for my new tires that only have right at 5000 miles to be re balanced. Other than those two issues the tires are fine. We have driven through a lot of very hard rain and the tires did fine. I just hope we can get the shimmy or vibration issue resolved. The vibration is not bad. Just a slight vibration. I we didn't take road-trips I prob wouldn't notice it. But. This should not be happening. Thank you Jay B.

Great tire for my truck

Recently put the LE3's on my truck and immediately saw much improved traction on wet roads and the road noise was almost non-existent. Getting a tire with a very long tread life is also a plus worth paying for. I compared the LE3 to other brands much more expensive and the LE3 in my opinion is a much better tire.

I can't believe how long these tires lasted.

I purchased my 2004 Chevy Avalanche 8 years ago used. The previous owner had installed Firestone Destinations on the truck a year prior to selling it. The vehicle sits outside so I fully expected the tires to rot off the rims with loads of tread left because I don't really drive it that hard. To my amazement the tires were still would have just passed state inspection. The only reasons I replaced them is they were a little hard being 9 years old and my mechanic was concerned the traction in the snow would be sketchy. Awesome tires. Very pleased.

Initial 3 mile test of 3 miles

Sounds better, rides better so far. Old tires had somewhere between 60,000 and 91,289 miles on them, were quite noisy, rode rough and were down to the wear bars. These new LE3's are quite an improvement. I guess time and miles put on will tell the real story.

Ride, traction and more, oh my

Well it was time to get new tires for my Ridgeline and Firestone has always been my first choice for getting them. I was happy with the installation. The truck's ride and handing seemed to improve with the new tires. Steering felt more stable and responsive. Tires are never an inexpensive necessity but I felt these tires were worth the investment.

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.
