These came original on my 2011 cruze. I put 140 mi / day almost every day. Currently down to 3/32nd tread so i am looking replace these. Dealer told me it was 180/tire. it is much cheaper here. i have had 2 holes since i bought the car one a 25,000mi and one recently. put a simple plug in and no issues. Drove threw snow and rain with out any issues. For the price these are a really good tire. Deffinatly will be buying another set soon.

First of all, I ordered these on the 15th, and received them at my front door on the 16th!
Keep in mind, this was through UPS standard shipping. Completely blew my mind.
Granted, I haven't put many miles on this set, but I can say that they are a definite improvement from the stock Michelins that came on the car when we bought it new from the dealer.
Excellent traction, and extremely quiet tires.
This is my first time buying tires online, and will not be my last!
I'd strongly recommend them to anyone interested in a good quality tire at a great price point.
I shopped around town for quite some time and these exact tires ranged anywhere from 700.00-500.00, and that's without installation.
I took them to a local installation center, and for less than $50.00, they recycled my old tires, and mounted, balanced, and installed them for me.

Local dealer wanted $520 to "special order" these tires. Tire Rack comes through again - had my tires in a matter of days. With mounting, total cost was $380.



As for the tires, they are a bit softer than my old tires. Not looking for track tires, so it works for me. Noise is not a problem. I would rate these as only slightly noisier than the stock tires, if at all.



Looking forward to getting a few more miles on the tires, on and off road.

Initial Review, 1,600 Miles on Tires
December 06, 2012

My 2008 Ford Escape came with Cross Terrains. I liked them and wanted to replace with them, but not at their current price. My dealer suggested these Firestones which matched all-season specs of OE, and at the low promotional price I couldn't pass it up. I've only got 1600 miles on them and no serious rain or any winter driving yet, but I like them. They are quieter than the OE tires - always a good thing (and the OE tires were quiet). They transfer a bit more road feel than I remember in the OE tires, but I'm going to chalk that up to being new so side walls are stiff. If it continues, well...it's an SUV not a sedan - I expect that to an extent. We have yet to get significant snow in the upper midwest so I can't rate that aspect, but I seriously want to. I enjoy driving in snow, yeah maybe weird, but I'm a kid at heart and I like to see what I can do (while being safe about it). However my limitation is the all-wheel drive, which I don't feel allows me to really see what the tires can do. My previous Mazda Tribute with push button 4x4 would have been the perfect test for these, but what can you do?

So far so good and if they continue to perform as they have I would most likely purchase again.

I instated Revo 2's on my trunk - not so much that I needed AT capability, but I liked the look and had previously been happy with the original Revo on another vehicle. At 26000 miles I had to swap because I was losing grip too often (on the road). I had installed Alenzas on my wife's '10 4Runner so decided to skip the aesthetics and purchase an adult tire. Driving off the Firestone dealer lot, immediately I noticed a smoother ride and a perceived lesser rolling resistance. After two weeks, I can confirm both. Now, had the Revos -in their excessively rapid wear - gotten that bad incrementally without me being aware? It's possible. What I know now is the ride of my truck is much nicer. Will that translate to picking up another .5-1mpg or so? Maybe. I must admit the Alenzas do exhibit a little tire whine, most noticeable when slowing down. Not louder than the Revo but high-pitched and different. And they look ok too - for an old man (53).

Less than 20,000 miles tire worn down to 4/32 sidewalls starting to split. Nosiey bouncy ride, Tires came on new minivan rotated every 5000 miles, replacing before winter. You'd think tires would match quality of vechle,another trick dealer does to make money.

Initial Review, 95,000 Miles on Tires

Purchased my Suburban with at 30K miles and tires had been just installed by the dealer. I found they worked the best for me at 38psi, although GM suggests 32psi. Max inflate for the tires (cold) is 44psi, so this I was not over-inflating them. I did get better fuel mileage, a quieter ride, and more solid handling, and the ride was more firm but far from harsh. According to my TMS, they do heat up some and I've seen the pressures rise 5-6psi under a heavy load on hot summer days. Addmittedly, I've run them way past when most people would replace them (they've hit the wear bumps now) and would not pass inspection. But I am impressed with how evenly they have worn without feathering, cupping, or scalloping. I hope the replacements I purchase are identical in construction and compound and give me the same performance. I have never had a set of tires wear so evenly and last so long. Nothing to complain about and they are a perfect match for this vehicle size/weight/power/use.

Initial Review, 6,000 Miles on Tires

I bought this car with only 13000 miles on the original Michelins which were so mushy and squealy when driven quickly on back roads that I had to make a change or sell the car. I upgraded the wheels to 18x9's all around and put Toyo Proxes S/T's, which transformed the car into a sports car. The Toyos lasted 45000 miles and were incredible in all weather, including snow, but rode a bit rough and made a bit of noise. I put the Firestones on due to their Tire rack rating, as Toyo discontinued the tires I had. The Firestones handle wet driving as good as the Toyos, which is outstanding, are very good in the dry, with just a bit less crispness on turn in, but ride and noise are the best combination I've found yet in a tire which drives this well in all conditions. For a 5000 lb vehicle to drive this well takes a really great tire. I'm looking to buy a new Grand Cherokee Overland and I asked the dealer if they would swap out the OEM Goodyear Forteras for the Firestone S/T's - they laughed of course. You can't beat these for an all-weather SUV ... at any price

Excellent tires with the exception that one blew out on my wife's 09 Yukon XL Denali at around 43k miles. Right at the seem. Bridgestone/Firestone dealer said because she drove about 1/8 mile on no air (had to find a good place to pull over) they would not cover it. I guess she should have just parked on the railroad track according to them or blocked traffic on the uphill after the railroad track. Instead of giving BS my money I just put on a set of Michelins.

I replaced OEM Firestone (40K miles) with the new Grabber HTS. The Chevrolet dealer was reluctant to even quote these tires and pushed Bridgestone. But based on reviews here and on CR, I insisted on the tire. I am happy to report that the Grabbers are outstanding! Very soft feel, quiet and great handling. General makes a great product and backs their tires with a great trial program and warranty!

I actually ordered a set of the Firestone LE2's from the Bellingham Firestone dealer. However, when I arrived for my appointment, they didn't have the tires they apparently ordered for me. All they had in the size I needed was a set of the ST's. I wasn't looking for a high performance tire, as the softer rubber compounds tend to wear a lot quicker than what the LE2 is made of. Anyway, had them installed and so far I have been very pleased with them. Ask me again though when they are worn out and I would have had a lot more wear left on the LE2's that I really wanted.

This is a great tire, but I can find this tire much cheaper at my local tire dealer. Bridgestone/Firestone have made a great economy tire to compete against some of the lesser brands. Most of the Fuzions still carry the Uni-T technology that Bridgestone/Firestone offer. To the user at the bottom. . . It's a "HIGHWAY" tire for a reason. It isn't meant for off-road ventures. Maybe you should do a little more research before you buy next time!

Initial Review, 20,000 Miles on Tires

I replaced the OE Continental's on my 2003 Passat GLS sedan with a set of Bridgestone Potenza G 009 Grid's and was very pleased for the first few thousand miles. But then they started to get noisy. By the time they reached 20,000 miles they weren't just noisy, they were downright loud so I went back to the Firestone dealer to discuss the issue. They admitted to having similar complaints from other customers and subsequently offered to provide me with a partial credit under warranty towards the purchase of another set of tires. By this time Bridgestone had introduced the Potenza G 019 Grid to replace the G 009, and the dealer told me the noise issues had been resolved with the new design. Instead of following my initial instinct I bought a set of the Potenza G 019 Grid's. That turned out to be a very bad decision as my experience with the G 019's has been exactly the same as their predecessor - they were fine for the first few thousand miles, but then they started to sound as if the belts were beginning to separate. With 20,000 miles they’re now so loud I can hardly stand to drive the car for anything but short distances. So it’s time for another set of tires, which is too bad because the performance of the Potenza G 019’s is very good – they’re perfectly acceptable to me in most wet and dry conditions, as well as light snow. But the noise is a total deal breaker. Sorry Bridgestone – I’m moving on.

I live in the Great Lakes and my wife uses this car for her commuter.She was very nervous about driving it in the winter. We purchased the tires last summer and are very pleased with them.It won't make the car into a SUV ,but she feels very secure driving it on icy and snowy road.A great buy and Tire Rack had a much better selection for us than local dealers.

Initial Review, 46000 Miles on Tires
November 30, 2011

Installed factory size 225/60/16 on 03' Crown Vic. Currently have 46,000 miles on tires, rotating them religiously every 5-6000 miles. I run these all year in PA on highway and driveways/lanes that are dirt/stone/mud, very good traction, never had an issue. Even though they are a directional tire which means you can only rotate them from front to back, the tread wear from this tire is fantastic. The softer compound inherent to a snow tire usually means less miles, however they have been on my car for the last 14 months and they still have about 1/3 tread on them. I will be replacing them next month (dealer wants to buy them as a trade for four new of the same). Good deal...Sell 4 used but still very useable tires for $100.00 and for another $260.00 have 4 brand news snows. Noise level is a little higher, but I expected this due to the open lug and aggressive pattern. If you are thinking of trying this tire, I would recommend 100%
