Tires Firestone or Giti
Firestone Destination LE3s are amazing! They are more of a highway type tread, so if you're looking for a more aggressive tread pattern, check out their other tires. Firestone All-Seasons are a well-handling option for wet and dry conditions.
Firestone is a great tire brand! I trust them with all my vehicles. The Firestone Destination LE3s are great tires. If you're looking for some better handling in wet conditions. I'd go with the Firestone All-Seasons.
I'd highly recommend the Firestone Destination LE3s. They're usually warrantied for 60k miles and a great middle of the road tire.
I'd say the Firestone Destination LE3s are your best bet if they make them in your tire size. They're typically warrantied for 60k miles. They're really decent tires.
Had the LE3s for 4 years on my escalade driving up and down the mountains and road tripping western US. A great tire, I took it through highway, pothole city, rain, snow, ice and even sand.
I currently have Firestone LE3's on my 14 Explorer. They have a little over 26k miles on them. 255/50/20's for $930 mounted/balanced back in 2021. Overall pretty good tires, especially for the money. Smooth, good traction in the dry/wet and pretty good in the snow. They did seem to get louder fairly quickly, but I don't think they've really gotten any worse over the last 15k miles. Wet roads seem to exacerbate the noise. Last time I looked at them (few k miles ago), they were wearing really well. I can't say I'd buy them again yet, but if they get us another 26k miles without getting significantly louder, they (or their successor) would be on the list. In the past I had OE Hankooks (good dry/wet, excellent life, absolutely terrible in the snow) and Michelin Premier LTX (good in all conditions, short life, overpriced for what they were).
Firestone has Suredrive tires that are basically rebranded Kuhmo Solaris TA71s right in your range. Good reviews on Reddit. I just bought a set today. Seem quiet.
The Firestone FT140 are annoyingly loud.
that's just a Firestone employee doing their upsell activity - same reason why the Jiffy Lube clowns like to tell you that you are overdue for transmission or brake fluid service.
I would recommend just outright avoiding Firestone. Aside from Firestone tires being garbage (except the Transforce line)
