"Drivers of pickup and light trucks, SUVs and all-terrain vehicles have high expectations for their tires – they want a versatile product with uncompromising quality," said Erik Seidel, president, consumer replacement tire sales, U.S and Canada, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations.

These tires are tough enough to tackle the most challenging terrain while still providing a comfortable, quiet ride for frequent highway trips."

Featuring an all-new tread compound and aggressive tread design complete with stone rejecter technology, the Firestone Destination A/T2 tire delivers traction in gravel and dirt. Full depth tread grooves provide all-weather dependability in wet and snowy conditions.

Built for light truck vehicles, the Destination X/T tire leverages many of the same technologies as the Firestone Destination A/T2 tire to deliver long-lasting, heavy-duty toughness. The Firestone Destination X/T tire features a specially designed tread rubber compound for durable on and off-road performance that is backed by a 50,000 mile (80,000 kilometre) limited treadwear warranty.* The Destination X/T tire is crafted for enhanced grabbing power in snowy conditions and is Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified. The tire will launch in August 2019 in 25 sizes, with more sizes to follow in 2020.
