Firestone Destination LE2

Drivers who have used the Destination LE2 report it as safe for two major reasons: traction and tire technology. The Destination LE2 provides you with plenty of control at the wheel. On the other hand, tire technology does not allow differential tread wear. 

This means that sudden holes and depressions cannot sprout from the tire at any time (except by suddenly applied force). Hence, you are relatively free from tire-related road mishaps while using the Destination LE2. 

Furthermore, Firestone designed the tire's internal structure with twin steel belts supported with spirally warped nylon. This helps provide your tire with the needed uniformity, strength, and durability to cushion the ride.

Speed rating markings represent the fastest speeds your tires can handle without losing comfort and stability. The speed rating for the Destination LE2 tire is S. 

This means that it can move comfortably and safely at 112 miles per hour. This is within the ranks of the ten fastest tire capabilities. As such, speed is a vital feature of the Destination LE2.

The Destination LE2 comes with a wonderful treadwear package. Firestone designed its interior with nylon. This enables the tire to keep a good shape and wear out evenly.

Overall, the Destination LE2 is quite durable when used right. The tires should always be balanced. Where you drive and what you carry while driving will also affect how long the tires last. When driving at home speeds, some of its traction (especially the dry traction) would be lost at a certain point. In this case, you should expect a little spin here and there.

The Destination LE2 does not come with a maintenance indicator. Instead, Firestone suggests the penny test. Before carrying it out, you need to know the legal limit for tread depth in your location. In most places, the limit is 2/32 inches.

The penny test is pretty simple. It requires you to stick a penny in the tire's tread grooves. If the tire tread touches Abraham Lincoln's upside-down head, the tread depth is at least 2/32 inches. If you doubt using the penny test, you can have Firestone tire and auto professionals inspect your tires for free.

In certain conditions, the Destination LE2 has been reported to be noisy. The road noise is much reduced compared with its predecessor - the Destination LE. Firestone developed a 5-degree noise reduction technology to tackle this issue. As a result, the tires aren't as noisy as previous models. 

Nevertheless, the Destination LE2 would not be ideal for long distances if a bit of hum disturbs you. Asides from this, the comfort it provides is great. This is because of its flexible sidewalls and the polyester cord in its body. Where the Destinationation LE2 lacks quietness, it more than makes up for it with its comfy ride.

Tire prices largely depend on factors such as size, speed rating, and load rating. You can pick the Destination LE2 for $175.33 at Walmart. While this might lean towards expensive, it is a very good price for the quality.

Firestone is giving a guarantee on uniformity for the first 1/32 inch of wear. The tread warranty on the Destination LE2 sits at five years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first. There is a materials and workmanship warranty for the first five years and free replacements within the first three years of purchase. 

Should your tires get any form of malfunction, you can get a replacement within this 3-year warranty. After the third year, a prorated amount is charged. The materials and workmanship warranty lasts for five years after purchase. So, any issues arising with your tire can get attention without a fee within this period. 

What is even more interesting is that Firestone offers a 30-day buy and try period. This allows you to test the tires for yourself to see if you like them. In a case where you change your mind about the tires within 30 days, you can return the set and get a refund.
