[QUOTE="John G, post: 1003191, member: 63360"] Destination LE looks like a highway tire. I got the Destination A/T, which has a more aggressive tread -- I was thinking of snow. I was reluctant, because after all the history of the Ford Explorer and Firestone Tires was not a happy one, with all the blowouts and rollover fatalities circa 2001. Ford had a recall on the Firestone tires because of all that -- I think that was 2002 -- and I was given new Goodyear tires for free. The Firestone name was suddenly ruined, it seemed. Just hugely bad PR. Now the Firestone name seems to be still alive, but more of a bargain brand name instead of the premium name it once was. So I bought the Firestone A/T tires at a pretty good price, with a bit of fear because of the history. No blowout yet, knock on wood. [/QUOTE]
