Great ride

Bought these on the recommendation of Navy Exchange garage. Very happy with my purchase. These ride extremely well and road noise is minimal. Traveled to North Carolina on them several times. Will buy them for our Outback when they are replaced next month.

4 NEW TIRES

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 1.5 YEARS AGO AND THE MASTERCRAFT LSR TIRES ON IT WERE JUST NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ON. I PAID MORE THAN I FELT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR 4 NEW FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3 TIRES, BUT THE IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE IN HOW THE VEHICLE FELT, SOUNDED, AND HANDLED, QUICKLY OFFSET THE FEELING OF THE HIGH COST. I WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN. THESE TIRES ARE WELL WORTH IT.

CHANGE FROM RUN FLAT TO FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE3 TIRES

GREAT GREAT GREAT I DON'T KNOW IF OTHER TIRES WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A GREAT RIDE BUT I LOVE THESE TIRES. MY RAV 4 RODE LIKE A TRUCK ON 12 PLY TIRES AND NOW LIKE I'M RIDING ON AIR. DON'T KNOW ABOUT TRACTION ON SNOW YET BUT BEING FROM OHIO I'LL SOON FIND OUT. SO FAR I TRULY LOVE THESE TIRES

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!

3 Set I've Purchased

I had bought a set of Des. LE3 for my previous truck and was very satisfied with how they held up in Jersey Streets. So when I bought my new truck decided to purchase them again and was still a great purchase. Now just bought them again for a third time. I've hit many pot holes, and many random objects floating around, and the tires held up very well, never bubbled, cracked, popped. Highly recommend.

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.

What a change

I purchased these tires as my OEM tires on this vehicle needed to be replaced after only 22,000 miles - disappointing. At the same time these new tires from Firestone changed the ride dramatically - much smoother and quieter so to this point I'm very satisfied. Hoping they wear well and provide good winter traction.

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.

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.

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.
