Firestone-DestinationLe.jpg

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.
