The Firestone Destination hp summer tire is designed for everyday use on any asphalt road. It features improved traction and braking efficiency on wet surfaces, ease of handling when cornering, fuel efficiency, and an extended service life.
The asymmetric tread pattern is divided into functional zones that provide balanced driving properties. In this regard, the outer shoulder zone is particularly noteworthy, which, in addition to massive blocks, has a solid longitudinal rib adjacent to them. These elements, due to their resistance to deformation, provide directional stability and precision handling on the speed arc, effectively preventing the occurrence and development of uneven wear. The inner part of the tread is characterized by the presence of a large number of drainage elements located at different angles of inclination. This significantly improves the traction properties on wet surfaces. It is worth noting the use of a rubber compound with optimized properties in the manufacture of the tread. The increased content of "silica" in this compound keeps the tire elastic at low temperatures, which improves the performance of the tire on wet surfaces.
Key features of the Firestone Destination hp:
- balanced driving qualities thanks to the use of a tread with an asymmetric design and division into functional zones;
- improved rubber compound with increased "silica" content provides reliable handling on wet surfaces, resistance to abrasive wear and cracking of the tire;
- special profile shape of the tread increases the contact patch, providing a more even distribution of stiffness, both across the tire carcass and the road surface;
- special ribs on the sidewalls of the tire prevent damage during urban operation
