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 OEM Bridgestone tires were terrible....The Firestones have been great.
I got HP108s which were $400 total with installation they work just as well as my “Firestone firehawks” which was $860let’s just see if the tread last as long. They work excellent in the rain and I drive on country backroads and highway 6 days a week to work 120 miles a day and I drive like a maniac they’ve been holding up well
Ran Firestone on my old truck, same model number it came with. 65k, on the 1st set, 70k on the 2nd and had 65k on the 3rd set when I sold the truck.
Mostly highway driving, a lot of country roads. Tire pressure and regular rotation is what got me there.
For my cheap ass I think Indy 500 look the best out of cheap and commonly available in the US
My Wrangler came with Destination M/Ts. They are awesome tires. I have 3 new ones sitting in my garage because I could not get the size I wanted when I lifted the Jeep. Went with Toyos. The Destinations are on my off-road trailer too and nothing wrong with them.
My 2018 Stinger had the summers PS4S and they wore like crap. Replaced them with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 extreme summers as I already had a 18" squared Blizzak set up. Cheapest summer only I could find that had decent reviews.
Avoid the Firestone on ridge, had a nail in a BRAND NEW tire and they tried to sell me 2 new ties, my car isn't even a year old and they tried to rip me off. I got it plugged up and will never go back to them.
I changed tires once, and only once, at Walmart. Everything was awful. The staff were a bunch of untrained amateurs who were impatient and didn\u2019t get the wheel balance right. The car was drivable at 60-80 kph, but it noticeably started to shake at 100 kph (60 mph) on the highway. The Firestones were so incredibly noisy I could barely wait to replace them again.
