The tires are performing as Firestone should. When properly installed and balanced. The installer failed here. After a couple of months the tires were showing signs of premature wear. The ride was rough and steering was like herding cats. None of my factory installed tire sensors are working. Meaning I have to check the tire pressure manually. The the caution light for this device remains on. If installed, three tires failed, too have weights installed and one tire had weights, but installed in the wrong location. I had to pay for this service along with verifying the alignment was ok, and it was. Had a 1000hrs appointment. The truck went in shortly after 1100hrs. 20-minutes to lift the truck approximately 12-inches and remove one tires. It was said that he was challenged with separating rim from tire. But I never saw him in the bay working on my truck. I missed my 1300hrs Dr. Appointment for the truck was still getting its tires installed. In the mean time I'm observing several vehicles in and out while I
These tires combine smooth ride with great traction while delivering superior tire life.
Haven't tried these tires in snow and ice, but previous tires (same tire) were acceptable.
Was able to get 59K miles on the OEM tire. Considered other brands as I typically had not used Firestone on other vehicles. Good reviews, OEM rated MPG, longevity and experience with these drove me to replace with the same Destination LE2 model.
Low noise easy on the bumps and steers easy, very pleased and cost was comparable to lower than competition!
I bought this set of tires, as it matched the ones that came with the truck, when purchased new. I could have driven several hundred more miles, but wanted to get the process over with, as the original tires were approaching 57k. Loved that you could find the exact model tire to replace. So I should get at least 50k, or more out of this set.
I got 55,000 miles on an identical set that came on my vehicle. So I figured I could hardly go wrong with more.
I find this tire to be very good all around for light truck use. Tire wear is very good and so is traction all year around.
Only had ttres a few weeks but so far very pleased with them. Have driven in heavy rain with great traction no hydroplaning. Cant really comment on wear. They are too new and no snow use.
I would say these suit the needs of an average driver off road probably nothing to extreme and winter we have yet to see. Now in terms of what i have done so far they do indeed get the job done and without any hassle. So if your thinking about this tire give it a try. I certainly got my moneys worth. Plus the staff was very friendly and professionally. I highly recommend them.
