Tires Firestone or MRF
I’ve had 2 sets of Firestone over the past 5 years. Destination AT2 & Weathergrip. Both great tires in the snow. Weathergrips are not quiet tires though. But no blowout issues.
I run 33inch firestone at tires on my diesel truck and they are some of the best tires I’ve gotten. They definitely have improved since the 90s
I’ve had a few different firestone tires and have been very happy with them. Winterforce snow tires were decent, and the Destination LE2 were great. I’d be comfortable recommending the newer LE3.
I did however run the Firestone firehawk 500 tires on my car, and holy cow those are awesome tires. 10/10 performance rating, would highly recommend, they’re grippy and sticky as hell for race car like driving.
My Toyota came with Firestones OEM when I bought it new.
I’ve since used other brands, but had zero issues when I had my Firestones. They lasted about 75K miles, too.
I love my Indy500s, the amount of grip you get VS how long it takes to wear them out is great. No cracking either, even when I waited a little too long to switch to winter tires and it was like 30F out. Only tires that are better would be Pilot Sports at a much higher price
I have been impressed with the Firestone Destinations. They came on the new Jeep Cherokees. Liked them enough to replace with the Destination AT2 on my Cherokee and also my Tacoma. Good balanced all terrain tire.
Firestone destination le3 is decent and cheap tire there, a lot of sizes. Is the tire amazing? Fuck no, but has great wet traction, low rolling resistance, and through the roof treadwear.
I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
First don't buy MRF Nylogrip FE. Very thin tyre despite being of the same size. It skids easily with a little lean and you won't be confident.
