Firestone Destination LE ?

Anyone running Firestone Destination LE's on their '04-'08 2wd SuperCab? If so, how do you like them? Any tire wear, road noise or balance issues?

Thanks.

I run them on my 06 Explorer and love them. Tire wear is great, so is road noise level.
I have Destination AT's on my 03 F150 4X4 Scab. So far they are just as good.

I have the ATs. Love them compared to the Hankooks that came on the truck. The LE's reminded me too much of those, so I went with the ATs. Traction has never been better.

I got 18" Destination LE on my 06 SC. Also had them on my 02 SC. Would recommend them. No snow here so can't give an opinion on snow traction. Ride alot better than the POS General tires on my 02 and the BFG on my 06. Good reviews on tire rack.

I had them a few years back on my jeep grand cherokee. No bad tires, but, the only complaint I have is... in cold weather I got flat spots. They would round out after about five minutes of driving, but it bothered me.

The BFG Long Trail T/A Tour tires I have installed (2nd set in 2400 miles) are horrible. There is a shimmy and vibration present above 45 mph (shocks & RF balance did not fix) and the ride feels like I am on a washboard dirt road.

I have thought about running the LE's as I had great success with them on my '05 Nissan Titan. After 24K miles they still looked brand new and I had zero balance or other issues.
