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.

My 2nd set

My first set of Destination tires had about 50k miles before I replaced them. They still had tread but were over 7 years old. My 02 explorer is a seasonal drive only so age of tire was starting to show. I just purchased my 2nd set of Destinations and couldn't be more pleased. Excessive road noise on my old Destinations grew louder with age. The new tires are so quite, my 20 year old explorer rides like new. The handling is precise and the vehicle tracks straight where I steer it. I could have purchased any tire but I'm glad I went with the new Destination.

Jeep on Grooved highways

I find my Jeep handles angerously on highway roads that are grooved, especially in winter. We have plenty in Michigan. The car wanders all over the lanes and really have to have 2 hands on the wheel at all times. Have had car checked at Jeep dealership for bad wheel bearing,tires balanced and rotated, and now they put two new tires on(as a goodwill gesture).. no difference in the drive. Firestone dealership could not test drive due to employee shortage. Unsatifactory response from 1-800 customer care/warrenty.Dangerous would not recommend, and definately will not buy Firestone again.

THIS IS MY SECOND SET.

THIS IS MY SECOND SET OF LE3 TIRES FOR MY 2015 F150 FX4. I USE TO GET BF BOODRICH ALL TERRAINS BUT I GOT TOO OLD FOR THE ROUGH RIDE AND NOISE. I GOT ABOUT 80,OOO MILES ON THE 1ST SET. THEY WORE EVENLY AND HAD A COMFORTABLE RIDE THE WHOLE LIFE OF THE TIRE. THE WHITE FIRESTONE / FIRESTONE LETTERS WITHOUT SAYING DESTINATION OR FIREHAWK OR WHATEVER TOO LOOK GOOD. I WISH THEY WERE SOLID WHITE LETTERS INSTEAD OF WHITE OUTLINE. THE PRICE IS VERY GOOD FOR THE QUATILY OF THE TIRE.

Best Tire I've ever owned

Got a set of 4 of these tires about 2 months ago. Immediately felt a very improved ride, tire noise reduction and handling of my Sorento. I never realized how much a great tire could make in the performance of a vehicle. It's a pleasure to drive my car again. Very little to no tire noise inside the car. Holds the road perfectly and feels like I am driving on a cloud. Great handling in inclement weather too. These tires are worth every penny and the 70K warranty is a plus. Thank you Firestone for making a remarkable tire.

HAPPY SURPRISE

I PUT MY SET OF NEW TIRES AT 55,000 MILES. I DID NOT EXPECT THE TIRES TO LAST AS LONG AS THEY DID. I RAN HANKOOKS ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY LAST 20,000 MILES AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH THESE. IVE USED MICHELIN, GOODYEAR AND PIRELI BEFORE. I HAVE SURPRISE THAT THESE ARE A GREAT ALTERNATE TO THOSE COMPANY AND THE PRODUCT IS SOLID AND WORKS GREAT. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH AND QUIET, LOW TO NO ROAD NOISE UNTIL ABOUT 125,000-130,000 MILES. THEY HANDLE GREAT IN SNOW AND IN ICE. THESE ARE REASONS WHY I WILL STAY WITH THESE TIRES AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. THEY DID JUMP UP IN PRICE FROM WHAT I INITIALLY PAID FOR THE OTHER SET. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CONTINUE WITH WHAT IS WORKING FOR ME.

Quiet Ride!

Replaced 4 Bridgeton tires with plenty of mileage left because they provided a hard noisy ride that I could no longer tolerate. This is the 7th set of Destination tires on 5 vehicles and these are the smoothest, quietest tires out there. Also these tires are good in mud, snow and Florida concrete roadways.

Bought these as an OEM Replacement

OEM tires were another brand and decided to replace with trusted Firestone Destination replacements at 40,000 miles. Even though we have only 1,000 miles+ on the new set, we're very pleased with the Firestones. This is the 5th set of Destination's I've bought over time with my wife's Jeep Liberty included. Quiet ride and improved mileage are the reason I'm pleased with our Destination 3 replacement tires.

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.

New tires

I purchased the Destination LE3's for my BMW. The tires ride quiet and I have already noticed a 2 mpg increase. I recently drove through a series of heavy downpours and noticed no loss of traction or hydroplaning. I hope they last as long as they are rated. So far I am quiet satisfied.
