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!

It's not a snow tire but did an admirable job in a couple inches of new snow with hard ice underneath. Acceleration and braking were smooth without much slippage. Climbed a pretty good incline getting into my neighborhood. All without chains!! I'm pretty impressed. Rides smooth and quiet on dry pavement as well. I have about 10k on them so far.

My local Tires Plus store recommended this tire on 12/30/20 noting the 70,000 mile limited warranty. I purchased 4 new tires based on the warranty as it was described to me. Today, 7/20/24, (with only 34,790 miles on the vehicle since these tires were purchased) Tires Plus told me that all of the tires should be replaced. Tread wear was down to 3/32. The tires were rotated every 5,000 miles since install. If you are buying these tires, as I did, based on the warranty, you need to shop for a different manufacturer's tire as Firestone's warranty mileage estimates are not even close to being accurate. My vehicle is a 2010 with only 131,440 miles on it. The vehicle gets driven approx. 20 miles per day, all below 50 mph so extreme driving conditions are not to blame.

Scheduled on line and on phone for Friday evening 10/15 4 tire install. Arrived early for appointment...Only 2 Tires. Others not in til Saturday. So. I took off work Sat Then wouldn't honer the 'Out the Door'Price Advertised. Got me for extra Franklin . Destination lll Firehawk..Blizzak owner. Will now purchase elseware. I'm hooked on the product though. Destination IIIs are great so far. Ride and wet traction better than my Armadas Michelin Defenders

Since I bought these tires it has snowed, been icy and had torrential downpours. They have been great in all these conditions. Living in New England you need a tire that can handle everything Mother Nature throws at you. Best all season tires I have had in 50 years of driving.

This is the third set for multiple vehicles of the Destination LE3. I really like these tires. We have winter weather a lot and these perform better than any other tire I've used. The OEM tires just don't perform as well as these tires do!. I have replaced other major tire brands in favor of the Firestone Destination LE3.

I purchased 4 tires for my CR-V last year in September. Very good traction in the winter. With 8000 miles I ft rear tire last week so I put the temporary spare on. Turned out to be a tiny piece of glass close to the sidewall so the Firestone shop replaced it with a new one. 6 days later my low tire pressure light came on. I found a screw in the center of my right front tire. I had it patched but as of now I do not trust driving on these soft tires! I got the August issue of Motor Trend today and it shows a Honda Passport SUV that has Firestone Destination Tires. The right front went flat during the testing! Page 60. I live in a nice area and have never had flat tire problems. Normally have purchased Michelin and Goodyear tires

Have only driven about 500 miles so far on these tires. Only got 19000 miles on the factory tires on my SUV. They ride smoothly & quite. Did my research on them before purchasing & was quite satisfied with what I read. I hope there are also good in the winter snow that's coming. So far I would recommend these.

I replaced my set of LE2's today with the LE3 model. My old set had 53K miles, but they were 10 years old, and I have a trip from TN to AZ this month. The old set had plenty of tread left, and have performed very well, dry, rain and some snow. I am sold on these tires and hope the LE3's perform as well as the old ones have. My Ranger is a 4 cylinder 2WD and I drive like an old man.

This will be my third set of Firestone Destination tires I had a 206 Blazer and went through two sets of tires .I purchased a set of Michelins for my Buick due to the fact I was travelling two hours a day for work .I decided when the tires were no longer good on my enclave I went back to the Firestone dealership who I have been with for over 25 years and put the destination LE 3 on the vehicle and I am extremely satisfied Wayne Nelson LaSalle Ontario
