Firestone Destination M/T |
 |
The Destination M/T is an Off-Road Maximum Traction tire
developed to meet the needs of pickup truck and sport
utility vehicle drivers who desire the looks and performance
associated with rugged off-road driving. The Destination M/T
is the first Firestone light truck tire to use UNI-T
technology to combine off-road traction with enhanced
on-road capabilities. UNI-T is a combination of technologies
that merge a comprehensive design method with innovative
manufacturing features to enhance tire comfort, performance
and wear.
The Destination M/T features a Long Link Carbon (a special
form of molecular re-engineered carbon black) enhanced tread
compound to improve wet performance and wear on the road
while maintaining cut, tear and abrasion resistance off the
road. The tread compound is molded into a symmetric tread
design comprised of deep lugs and an over-the-shoulder
tread/lug design that features alternating width shoulder
lugs with a low 23-degree attack angle to provide the biting
edges necessary to dig down, as well as, claw at the sides
of ruts to generate pulling power. Rim Guard Off-Road
Protector Ribs molded on the sidewalls help deflect off-road
debris from between the tire bead and rim area, keeping the
lower sidewall stiffer and allowing the bead to fit tighter
to the rim. On the inside, the Destination M/T combines
twin, high-tensile steel cord belts reinforced by a spirally
wrapped nylon cap ply with Firestone's Dura-Loc 3.0 (a 3-ply
polyester cord body) to enhance durability and highway
stability. |
