Our take

The Firestone Destination LE3 is a strong contender for drivers who prioritize treadlife and wet grip in a highway all-season truck tire. With a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, it surpasses the category average, making it a cost-effective choice for long-distance travelers. Its wet grip score of 7 is notably above the category average, providing added confidence in rainy conditions.

While the tire performs well in terms of treadlife and wet grip, its dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.7. This might be a consideration for those who drive primarily on dry roads. The R speed rating is another factor to consider, as it limits the tire's high-speed capability compared to some competitors like the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056, which may offer higher speed ratings.

In comparison to its competitors, the Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 and General Grabber H/T, the Destination LE3 offers a compelling treadlife advantage but may fall short in dry grip and speed rating. Drivers who prioritize long-lasting performance and wet traction will find it a suitable choice, but those needing higher speed capabilities might look elsewhere.

Pros

  • Treadlife rating of 9.2 and a 70,000-mile warranty exceed the category average of 61,048 miles, promising long-lasting performance.
  • Wet grip score of 7 outpaces the category average of 6.1, enhancing safety in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 matches the category average, providing reliable on-road performance for highway driving.

Cons

  • The R speed rating may not suit drivers who frequently travel at higher speeds, where competitors offer higher ratings.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 falls slightly short of the category average of 7.7, which may affect performance on dry roads.
  • The R speed rating is lower than some competitors, potentially limiting high-speed capability compared to tires like the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056.
  • Temperature rating of B is less favorable for heat resistance compared to some rivals with an A rating.
