Firestone Destination LE
Firestone engineered the Destination LE to give light trucks and SUVs the advantage of UNI-T technology. The result is a tire that allows for command of the road with comfort. The Destination LE combines outstanding performance on wet and dry roads with the comfort and quiet of passenger tires. That makes for a relaxing ride on those long commutes. With a 60,000 mile limited treadwear warranty, the Destination LE with UNI-T is built to go the distance and give you plenty of time to enjoy the drive.
* 5 Degree Noise Reduction - Produces noise-canceling sound waves to significantly reduce tire noise on road surfaces.
* Spiral Wrap - Spiral Wrap is a continuous nylon wrap that encircles the whole tire, helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability.
* Weathergrip - A tread compound that blends special polymers to promote traction on wet surfaces.
* Innovative Tire Design - A Comprehensive Tire Design Method - This method improves handling in wet or dry conditions and reduces irregular treadwear by combining an ideal tread design, casing shape, materials and construction.
* Innovative Roundness - Rounder Is Better - Rounder overall tire shape provides better balance for wet or dry handling.
* Innovative Compound - Longer Is Stronger - L.L. Carbon utilizes a special form of molecular re-engineered carbon black, a key factor in improving tire wear while enhancing wet performance.

I got talked into purchasing these tyres (New Zealand made) after having an exceptional run out of the old Firestone Firehawk RV tyres of 100,000km or 62,0000miles. I was told the Destinations would give a smoother ride, be more fuel efficient and quieter and give even more mileage. The destinations failed on all four points. I had a wheel alignment done then checked my tyre pressures every week and rotated tyres every 5000km. At 40,000km or 25,000 miles the tyres were worn out and this was even wear right across the face of the tyre. I contacted Firestones customer service the Firestone dealer who I bought the tyres from and he agreed that there was nothing wrong with the way the vehicle was set up and that the wear was even. I was also told by two other independant Firestone tyre shops off the record that there was a problem in getting mileage out of those tyres. I contacted Firestones customer service who denied there was a problem and blamed my driving style. I decided not to buy anymore Firestone products and replaced the tyres with the Dunlop Grandtrek AT2 and once again got 100,000km and as I said the Destination's were no smoother, quieter, more fuel efficient or gave better mileage than the other tyres I had used.

I had these fitted to my work ute as I had a good run from my last firestones they were a good all round tyre. The new replacements Destinations were to be a better tyre in always! WRONG these tires failed in all aspects bad in the wet,have not lasted, firestone you need to go back to the older model.
