Firestone Tire Prices

Initial Review, 800 Miles on Tires
September 26, 2010

I wouldn't normally post a review until I had put more miles on a set of tires, but thought I would in case there's anyone else out there like me not wanting to spend a fortune on tires but still wanting good handling. Frankly, Firestone would have been the last brand I would normally have bought due to my perception that the company has had too many quality problems, but I honestly don't know if that's accurate or not. At any rate, being in a low budget mode right now I went for these due to the incredible price, the outstanding reviews by owners on this site, and with winter coming up. The reviews are what convinced me. Living in middle Tennessee we don't get the serious snows like in other parts of the country, but last year we got several that were pretty heavy for our area and with some serious ice a couple of times. Nice to know reviewers rank these very high for that type driving in case we get some this year. The tread on these is very deep and aggressive, and look great on the truck in the blackwall. A little squirm when cornering but to be expected on a new tire with deep tread. Rain handling is awesome. They do have a little highway hum, to be expected with a winter tire, but I have a louder than stock exhaust so who cares? The ride quality is pretty good, and this truck has a pretty stiff suspension. They make them in an LT (light truck) 10-ply model, but I got the passenger rated ones since I don't haul much or tow anything. And if anyone is considering going one size wider than the stock 255-70/17's on a 2007 F-150, the 265-70/17's I bought fit fine and with plenty of clearance at the rear shocks and the front suspension arms, and a very minor amount taller. I'll come back and do a follow-up after more miles and more weather. (If you're going to order from these guys, check out Spencer at extension 690, a really professional guy . Got the order right and to me in two days.)

I've had these tires on my car for 3 winters, I live in Canada so their REAL WINTERS! I am buying these tires again after this season because for the price they are great! only complaint is they are very noisy, but I'll take noisy/grippy tires over quiet/slippery ones any day.

You will NOT believe how well this tire works. PERIOD. Our Element AWD flys through the deep lake effect snow we have in NW Indiana. Chicago gets 2 inches, we get 2 feet of snow. Car just flys through it. Hydroplane resistance is execellent and we run them all year. Such a great price will replace them every 3 years and keep on truckin'! You gotta' try these !! Will buy again and again. Am buying them for my 4X2 Crewcab 1500 GMC this week! Whadda' deal!!! Thanks again guys!

Great tire for price, gives good fuel mpg, smooth and quiet.

I have 14k miles on these tires and there is plenty of tread left. These are dedicated snow tires so I wasn't expecting them to be anything special but I was actually surprised. I bought them because they were cheap and I needed a dedicated snow tire. Like most snow tires, I find the tires perform amazing when driving in below 40 degrees. They absorb bumps amazingly well, corner stability is solid, and snow traction is perfect. I even drove in a lake effect snow fall on a snow covered interstate going about 50 mph with no concern. The great tread life, solid performance and price make this tire an amazing bargain in my opinion. Probably would buy again in 2-3 years because that's how long I expect the tread to last (until the tirerack recommended 6/32 tread for winter tires).

This was the factory tire installed on my 2011 Chevy Malibu. For almost 35K, I thought it did well. Even though its rated for 60K, there is no way to achieve that in Western, PA with all the hills. Tire performed well in the light snow and rain. Once they had 26K on them, I really noticed issues on wet roads. For the price, I would consider purchasing again.

Initial Review, 400 Miles on Tires

I was very unhappy when the tires were first installed. Tire noise, slight vibration in steering wheel and the car pulled to the left. After Tire Rack replaced the tire the car is as quiet and handles like it did with the Firestone Run Flats I once had. I am totally satisfied now. Tire wear will determine if I buy the tires again. The price was right, however.

Initial Review, 2,200 Miles on Tires
January 11, 2011

Replaced Good Year Eagle LS with 67,000 miles on them. Only have put 2,200 on these so far but really nice tire for the price and made in USA. But have already driven in snow and rain with them and have a really nice grasp on the pavement. Little softer ride than the Eagle LS but that is exactly what i wanted to help cushion some of the ride that the 20's give up. Love the tread pattern very nice, not a lot of ratings out yet on these so i gambled a bit but glad i did! Better in the snow than i expected and much better than the Eagle LS ever was. Will report back once i have more miles logged.

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

These tires are the best tire that I have ever owned, next to Pirelli. They run smoother than any other tire than I have ever had, better than Goodyear, Dunlop,Firestone, Bridgestone, Yokohama.
The Hydroplaning Resistance excellent, wet traction is excellent, dry traction excellent, steering response excellent, tread wear excellent better than any I have owned including Pirelli !
As long as Continental makes this tire I will never buy another.
Simply the best tire that i have found at any price.
I am looking to buy a set for another car 7 will buty Continental

OEM tire on my Tacoma 4x2 2.7L 5 speed Access Cab, wearing out under 36k miles. still have another 3-4k left on them before unsafe tread but winter is coming and i wont be able to drive in snow this year. in 2010 NJ got hit with snow storm after snow storm, i TOWED a 550CC Artic Cat Snowmobile on a 4x8 trailer through it ALL. truck has traction control but the tires grabbed GREAT, no slipping, little tire spin and im talking 8" of snow with a trailer behind me with a 500lb sled. granted, i am an awesome driver, but the tires made it easier for me to get through the mess of NJ winters. if they lasted 50k, id give it all 10s. does ok slow on sand, dirt and mud, as i have land in NC and take the truck through the fields to get around the property. the tires are VERY GOOD, not excellent but no garbage by any means. i had the LEs in 31s and those were great tires also. Destinations are very good tires, just wear is fast but offset by the affordable pricing and overall performance, id probably get them again. trying 215/75/15 this time to correct the OEM speedo inaccuracy problem (speedo off by 3mph) and getting HanKooks to see how they do....

replaced Dunlop AT with destination LE 1st gen which were impressive for a truck tire with regard to off road and longevity. They were a little noisy after 20K miles, but lasted beyond the mileage warranty period; which has never happened for me on a truck before. then I replaced them with with the destination LE2 it is much improved in handeling and noise to the LE. I would recommend these tires one of the best compared to Bridgstone Dumlop and Goodyear. Ive ran them all on my trucks and these new Sestination LE 2 tires are the best Ive ever had for the price. The only tire Ive experienced to perform better is Michelin LTX they are almost twice the cost. the LE2 far exceeded my expectations for the price I paid so did the LE. Im convinced firestone is once again making a quality tire here in The US.

Purchased after reading reviews of this tire on Tire Rack. Put them on my Town Car. I did not even replace them this summer. I drove them all year. I figured for the price and I wanted to see how they wear. They are one of the best tires I have had for winter, and not bad all year long. I do not drive this car all the time in the summer, I have a Convertible, but I use this car for road trips and for work. I would buy this tire again and again. I have put them on my daughters T-Bird as well for winter. Rear Wheel drive with good tires can't be beat.
I have not had any problems and these have been a great buy.

I purchased 4 of these tires for my 2003 jeep liberty renegade and for the price they can't be beat. The factory Goodyears were shot after only 25000 miles. I then tried BF Goodrich all terrein Ta's and while they wore pretty good the road noise was terrible. The Firestone Destination AT delivers the best of both worlds. Living in Northeast Pa a good winter tire is a must and these performed better in snow that the Goodyear or BFG. While they may lack the agressive look of the All Terrein TA don't let that fool you. The treads don't pack up with mud like they did. A good all around tire.

I've had these tire on for about 25k and they almost look new still. They are not the best tires on the market, but they are not the most expensive either. I'm sure there are better tires out there but not for the price. I had Firestone's on before these and they were ok on dry pavement, but lousy on wet. These Kumho's stick like glue on dry corners, and are pretty good in the wet. When they do break loose, they are very predictable. I wouldn't hesitate to put another set on when these wear out.
