2006 Explorer needs new tires. Looking at Firestone Destination AT or LE. which tire would be better? Live in Michigan so we get snow and ice. Do 90% highway driving 10% off road. Or is their a different tire I should look at.
Thanks
Thanks
The LE's stink on ice, snowpack, and slush. They are fine in fresh snow, dry, rain, etc... They were so bad in the snow, I ended up getting a set of dedicated snows this year. Treadwear has stuck too - will not get anywhere near 60,000.
... the Firestone store did not want to warantee the AT's. ...
Just like most stores they do their best to suggest that you did something wrong...
I have 40.000 on my Destination LE's which I put on my 2010 Explorer 2 and 1/2 years ago and still have good enough tread that my son wants them for his F150. Because I want to be sure I have good traction out here in the country I am going to try a set of A/T's this time. If they are half as good as my LE's have been I will be happy I think. Tire Rack had them on sale so I think it will be a good buy.
