Answer
Hi  Darly

Funny you should ask i had a conversation with a customer who was having the problem like you are,The firestone is cheaper i agree but if you drive alot and want the best performance out of your money then i would go with the goodyears even though they are very expensive. But if you aren't much on driving just daily routines then go with the firestones. The goodyear tire has good traction and a good warranty,Firestone  destination is a good tire for anyone on a budget or those who don't drive that much .
Here are the options bewtween the 2 so you can decide for yourself.
Firestone- It is designed to combine much of a passenger tire's quiet comfort with year- round traction, even in light snow,to boost wet traction while improving treadwear.

Goodyear-premium Highway All-Season light truck tire that was developed to provide refined ruggedness for luxury sport utility vehicles. The Fortera HL is designed to provide a quiet, even ride along with overall responsiveness,uses a computer-optimized tire shape to reduce footprint sensitivity to load to provide an excellent balance of performance properties for lightly loaded to fully loaded sport utility vehicles.

Goodluck
