FAQ
Is the Firestone Destination LE-02 good?
Yes, for SUVs and pickups driven mainly on paved roads. Bridgestone says it builds on the Destination LE-01 with better dry handling and braking, longer tread life, resistance to uneven wear and low rolling resistance, without reducing wet grip.
What is the difference between the Destination LE-02 SUV and Pick-Up versions?
They differ in use. The SUV version is a passenger tire on 16–18 inch rims focused on comfort, quiet and EV support, while the Pick-Up version is a C-rated tire on 15–16 inch rims with a strong casing for pickups and vans carrying loads, rated 950–1,000 kg per tire. Choose the size and load index listed on your vehicle's door placard.
