Firestone FR710 M+S Rated All Season Car Tire in P235/60R17

I bought my jeep with 42,000 miles on it and I have 108,500 now. I did all those miles in 13 months of driving. I mostly drive highway but am also in the city as well. I have to say they've held up pretty nicely with treadwear. I'm still driving with them. I can easily out another 10-20k miles on them which is what I am planning on doing before I buy another set of 4 tires. These handle great in dry,wet, and snow. I was surprised how well they handled on 4wd in the snow with barely any tread left on them. I never drive them in the snow with full tread. They did pretty well considering how much treat I have left this past winter. I'm another note since I do a lot of driving highway and city, they do take a beating. They are not the most durable. What I mean by that is I've had to replace 2 tired so far due to gashes from crap on the roads. I do drive in the city with a lot of potholes and i have a little more weight on the rear due to tools etc. I think these would perform great on a car and even a light suv like mine for normal driving. For a light suv if you do a lot of miles I would recommend a light suv tire. I'm going to the Firestone Destination LE2 in a couple of months. The reviews for those tires are great and if it's anything like these I'll have nothing to worry about. I need better thickness on the tire sidewalls for city driving and an all season that will last me 60k miles +. I know I will get 90kmiles on these tires and not has a lot to do with the frequency of tire rotation and keeping the right tire pressure. Tire pressure should be checked weekly although I've done it about 1-2 times a month. Loved theses tires. Would buy again if I didn't need a more load, heavier duty tire for the amount of driving I do. Hope this helps. I'll be doing a review on the Destination LE2 at about 30k and again on 60k.

I have only had these tires a few months (Firestone FR 710. I had the Solus when I first got my van it made a lot office and was not good in wet weather. I read the reviews and thought I would take a chance and glad I did. As I said only had them a few months and have gone out of town twice and they really drive well. They do very good in the rain but we have had slush and it also drives well if you drive at the proper speed. We have not had any sticking snow so I can't rate that. On dry street normal speed and a little faster the tires are great. I do reccomend and will purchase them again.

These tires came with my car when I purchased it used. They had to have had around 5,000 miles on them at the time.

This tire is rated as a passenger all season tire. As expected it performs as such. I drive spirited every so often and I knew how this tire would respond. Having had them for around 4 years they are predictable.

The good. These tires have phenomenal treadwear. At 38,000 or so miles I have around 4-5/32s left still. These are "Uni-T" so they have been consistent since when they were new. These tires are also decently quiet and comfortable. My car does not have much sound deadening but these tires are not loud or bumpy in any way. The dry traction of these tires is also pretty good for the type of tire. My 126HP Corolla can spin them up in the dry but only if I try. But these are not some sor of max performance tire either. Also these tires have not caused me any pull or vibrations since I have had them. They road force average and are smooth.

My single and largest negative for this tire has to be the wet traction. I can spin these things in any kind of wet starting. I can roll at 15 MPH in 2nd gear and if I floor the gas my 126HP 104,000 mile Corolla will start spinning. When driving in the wet they are not dangerous but you will need to keep an eye on your surroundings and take extra care when driving. Hydroplaning was also noticeable but again nothing tha means these are dangerous. But since I have had them for so long I knew exactly what they would do when they did it. There were no surprises or confusion.

I have not had these tires in snow or ice so I can't rate them there. For a diligent driver who pays extra attention in the wet and wants a well priced, long lasting, affordable tire. I don't know of much that is better. If you are focused on wet grip and spirited driving well then you shouldn't be looking at this class of tire anyway.

All in all if I was on a budget I would buy these again.

i have a Buick rendezvous awd i have winter snow tires with wheels and factory wheels with this tire for summer. very good tire I'm more on the aggressive side of driving and have put them through the paces. very good tire would buy them again. i drove with firestone winter forces for the winter and was glad to get the smooth and quit ride back

Fleet car application; probably 75% highway miles over a 23 month period. By upwards of 20K miles, THE longest wearing tire I've had in 30+ years of car ownership (rotated every other oil change). Excellent handling for a typical family car tire and good traction in snow. Never a question that I'd replace the OEM's with the identical aftermarket model. Everyone's experience is different, but the FR710 gets my absolute highest possible recommendation.

The 710s are the OE tire on our 2012 Sienna XLE.

The outstanding characteristic of this tire and vehicle combination is steering response. The steering is so light and easy it is unlike any other vehicle I've driven. It makes this 2 ton+ vehicle seem like a much smaller, lighter vehicle. To call this van 'light on it's feet' is an understatement. We've taken it on one 2,000 mile trip and thought it was great on the highway. There is little noticeable wear after 17,000 miles. We've also driven in quite a bit of snow this winter and, while they're no Blizzaks, they get around just fine. I went through the tire selection matrix on Bridgestone's website and they are recommending the Dueler 422 as the top-of-the-line tire for this vehicle but I love the way this Firestone works so well on this minivan that I'd be worried about any loss of the great driving dynamics from the factory.

They were fine when new although I would say they minimally qualify as all season. Comfortable ride without a lot of noise. Traction dropped off in the rain by 20,000 miles and in snow they went from passable to dicey. At 40,000 miles they have lost almost all tread depth and must be replaced. If I got the promised tread life I would have rated them higher.

Treadwear has been great (80,000 +)! Gas milage (highway) has been great (34.5 avg)! Smooth and quiet, but not the best tire when it rains. I only rotated this tire once. Would buy again.

This is the second set of FR710's on my Cruze. The originals lasted for 60,000 miles and according to the dealer who installed the new tires probably had another 8-10,000 in them. I bought a second set which is on the vehicle now and at 55K will go to 60K with ease and beyond. I am in my early 70's and in more than 50 years of car ownership have never had a tire make the warranted mileage with tread to spare. When these are worn too badly I will buy another set!

I bought our 2012 Cruze new and the Firestone tires have been unbelievable. I do drive a considerable amount on interstate but 92,000 miles is amazing and still the rear tires have good tread and the front are starting to cup a little bit. I will be buying another set of the FR710s.

Factory tires on Malibu in Michigan. Fine for the first 35k. After that, they are useless in winter. ABS/traction control is flashing constantly on snow/ice. At about 45k the tires started developing internal problems and/or flat spots that act like out of balance tires, and can't be fixed. I will run these as long as I can and then replace them well before the coming winter. Local tire dealer for this brand said I am not the only one with this problem on these tires. Spend more and get more...

When I bought my "new" used vehicle the dealership informed me that they had installed a brand new set of Firestone FR710.
To my astonishment the tires offer a limited grip on the dry.
I can hear them squeal when I accelerate or turn (and I accelerate and turn like a normal person and not like a wannabe Schumacher).
I would say they handle ok on dry maybe slightly under the average tire. They'll do the job for your daily needs.However, I have the feeling that when I turn I'm driving on the sidewall sometimes.
My biggest disappointment so far was on the snow. These tires are a BIG no no on the snow.
I live in MI and I spun as I exited a parking lot and onto the main street (180degrees), luckily there was no traffic. There wasn't much snow as it just started snowing. So I would say there was a very thin layer of snow on the road which apparently was enough to make me lose control of the vehicle. Since then I take our second vehicle when it is snowy out.
On the wet, you should be fine on the straight but you can definitely feel a huge difference in the handling. I drive very defensively in wet conditions and adjust my speed accordingly. Hydroplaning resistance is good, but traction is poor especially when turning/accelerating. Despite my efforts to keep the car straight, I felt the back sliding just a bit when making a right or a left at stop light. Accelerating from 0mph is a challenge too as the tires just spin for about a second or two.
Other than that the tires are not excessively loud and they make a comfortable ride, they just need more grip on the wet and especially on the snow!!!
If you live in an area where it snows during winter time I would strongly suggest that you reconsider your choice and chose another set of all-season tires.

Easily the scariest tire I have ever driven in snow or ice and I lived 40 years where the winter lasts 6 months.
