MTA Flint switched from the Goodyear “Wrangler” to the Firestone “Destination” and I personally liked that tire bettwer. Less roaqd noise and better mileage, But we went back to the Wrangler due to getting a better bid price

Jimmie, We have been using the wrangler silent armors with good results until recently. We have been running into side wall failures lately (have had 3 fail in the last year). What I have found is that in tires close to the end of their life, they are developing verticle cracks on the interior sidewall. I have brought this to our goodyear dealers attention and they have forwarded it to their rep. The build dates were from 2408 to 3910 on the dozen or so tires I have seen this defect on. At this point goodyear has not given me a response on what the issue may be. We have stopped running the silent armors and are trying a set of SR-A’s. I know at Higgins Lake, the firestones were talked about and were only around $96 each, but it sounds like maybe they have had a price increase since Lynn says they have moved back to goodyear.

We use the Firestone destination with no problems, good winter traction and decent lifespan
