What brand is Destination tire?
1 Answers
Destination tire is a series of Firestone tires. It has now been acquired by Bridgestone and become a sub-brand of Bridgestone. Firestone was founded in 1900 by Mr. Harvey Firestone as the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, with its production base located in Prescott, USA. Firestone Tire and Rubber Company gradually developed into the world's largest tire and rubber enterprise. Firestone's success and experience in rubber polymer technology have extended to the roofing and lining waterproofing industry through Firestone Building Products Company. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low-temperature effects. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the car suspension, mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the car. Methods for maintaining Destination tires: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires more frequently. Regularly adjust wheel balance. Unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Regularly rotate tires. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of Destination tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn smooth, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Even small cracks can be potential hazards for blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, immediately remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials related to rubber deterioration. After parking, do not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can easily overheat, and the pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool down. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and sudden stops to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
