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!

Certainly not the most expensive tire you could buy. But absolutely the best you can buy for value , longevity, reliability and performance. I have purchased these a total of 5 times for our 2 vehicles over the 9 years. I can't think of single time these tires disappointed me. Great tires all around!

This is my 2nd set Of Firestone Destinations. I drive mainly local and highway. But they handle and ride great. I've had them in snow,mud and light off road fun. I get every mile outta these tires they say. 70 thousand plus. And I probably could of got more. But I don't push when it comes to safety in my truck.

I replaced original GMC tires that had a great ride around town and on the highway. And I got 23mpg when I kept speed at 70. But If the road was older or broken the ride was terrible and noise outrageous. Because we travel, I needed to correct this. The new Firestones are quiet everywhere, but have changed our ride. We feel the road much more. Although quiet we feel any imperfections. We had our tire shop balance them at 200 miles. That helped but our overall ride around town isn't as smooth as it was. I'm wondering if I should have gotten a wider tire? The long highway drive this winter should be better.

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.

After 15,000 miles, all 4 of my tires are missing chunks and have several cracks about to leave chunks out. I went to see if they were under warranty. Salesman said it was from driving on a dirt road so no. I haven't had a flat yet so roadside assistance doesn't replace them. I do not off-road this truck. I have less than 1/8 mile of dirt between my house and paved highway. How can you make a truck tire that can't handle dirt?

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.

Good tire for the money. Just purchased and no complaints so far. Ride is quiet but only had dry weather driving so far. Can't say what it will be like in rain and snow this year yet. Had a bit of a sticker shock when I purchased them from a privately owned shop, but service was fast and good, so not gonna complain about that.

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.

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.
