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.

Destination le3 review on 4Runner

So far I have nothing but good things to state about these tires. They are working very well in the city, highway and dirt roads. I will write another review once winter comes to review how they are on wet conditions and snow. They are very quite tires and comfortable.

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.

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.

Best Tire We've Had On Our Vehicle Yet

The Firestone Destination L3 is the best wearing, longest life tire we've ever had on our 2014 Nissan Rogue SV. We have well over 250,000 miles on our vehicle and have had a couple of sets of Goodyears and a set of Coopers that didn't last anywhere near as long as these Firestone tires. We always keep up on scheduled rotations and maintenance without any issues.

Replaced old set of Destination tires.

I've always had good luck with these tires. Had an older version on the Jeep I owned. Was time for a new set of tires on my truck. These are quiet, don't slip or slide in wet conditions and make my truck handle well. They hold up well to my driving style and look good on the truck. I would definitely recommend these tires if you're looking for a great set. They were a little pricey, but well worth the money.

Traction

Traction on these tires for the type of truck I have is not good if the roads are dry they are fine but if they are even a little wet the rear end will slide I did not buy them they came on the truck when I got it but I do not recommend if you have a V-8

Firestone Destination LE/3 Tires rock!

Bought an awesome set of 4 tires from Jimmys Tire and Lube in Clay City this month on a recommendation from a guy named Wesley. He knew his stuff; and they are great tires! Ride is super confortable and really quiet, and they seem to hug the road and don't roll in a turn. I fully expect a long ride from these babies and I will buy them again! Thanks Firestone, and thank you to Wesley for suggesting these great tires.

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.

Firestone Destination LE3

Got these tires about a week ago and they have performed well in dry and rainy conditions so far. Only driven about 500 miles or so on them but provide quiet ride and with the 70,000 mile Treadwell warranty hoping for durability and long trend life. Tires were reasonably priced and the Firestone who put them on did a great job on balancing tires and replacing my old tires within about an hour as I had an appointment. Thanks Firestone!
