    How many miles did you get out of your first set?

    Ty,

    BTW, I've been running Firestone Destinations on the Proton for 2 years. They are listed as an AT but have a very mild tread. I like them a lot for street use but they are only OK for trail use.

    They were kinda a tire picked for me 'cause I needed something in a hurry & 33x12.50 R15 tires aren't all that common. My local dealer was able to get 4 next day delivery. When 1 was found to have factory damage (small tear at bead), it took them a week to get what I was told was the last one in US of A out of Oklahoma.

    Tom, I can check my records, but if memory serves I got about 40k to 50k miles out of them....I think. Now you got me curious....going to have to check and see....

    I estimate that I'll end up getting about 60-70K out of the Firestones when all is said & done.

    I've only run 1 set of Hankook (on an Eclipse). They were very good tires. Lotsa siping for grip & good channeling to avoid hydroplaning.
