Firestone Destination A/t

michigan2500hd · January 24, 2010

Anyone on here running these? They got some great reviews on TireRack. I would really like some GoodYear Dura Trac's or Cooper Zeon LTZ's but they are out of my price range. The new Revo's just dont do it for me ( i liked the first revos better). Oh and the Zeon's in a 265/70/17 is an E load tire which is just over kill on a 1/2 ton. I have a set of BFG A/T KO's on 18" rims for the summer and they are E load. The ride is terrible and i partially blame them for my upper ball joints going bad (combined with the leveling kit). I see the Firesone is available in a 275/70/17 which is what i want to go with i think.

I run the Destination LE which has a different tread pattern I am happy with them. I want the ATs next time around, but that will be a while.

I love mine! Very happy with the wear pattern and the amount of tread wear. They have taken me everywhere I've wanted to go and still get good on road traction in all conditions. They did very well this winter in the snow. Even when I didn't have it in 4wd. Now I won't sit here and say they are invincible, because no tire is, but given what it was designed for (All-Terrain) it does very well on road. Highway driving is very quiet and city driving is very responsive. Having a 4.10 rearend and tuned also tells me how good they are in the light snow and rain. They grip well even with an empty bed.

I am probably going with the new Revos next time though. My father just got some and they look AWESOME on his '01 Suburban. Very deep tread and strong looking shoulder design.

What size are those? they look to be 265/70/17's right?

I've had them on a Suburban and two Jeeps. They are great tires for about 30,000 miles. As they wear, they get LOUD. I swapped mine at about 35K even though they had at least half tread left because they were getting so loud.

only draw back to them is they will not as last as long as BFs or general grabbers, as they are not as hard i think the comparison was like 700 to over 1000 on hardness when i was researching tires...

I stopped to look at them at a local tire store but they didnt stock the A/t's...just the LE's. They were very nice and said they would get a set in for me to look at. I had them get 285/70/17's and stopped there to day to check them out. I was a bit disapointed in the look and feel of the A/T's. Now mind u they were P rated tires and not LT's so i expected them to be a bit less stiff them the LT rated tires. I also thought they looked to be a bit on the narrow side so i put a 265/70/17 up to it to compare and they were the same width.....weird. They were taller of course but i have no idea why they were so narrow. I know from experience that each brand of tire can vary even though thet say they are 265 or 285...etc.

I have the A/T's on my fronts and I think they're great, certainly a lot better than the Geo-Trac's the previous owner put on the rears. They have a good tread pattern, they cut through snow pretty well. Overall I'd recommend them, and I got them for a pretty sweet deal off Tirerack.

I love them, my 20's are fat 50 series, they are good in snow. My friend had these and was very impressed how long they lasted, very happy with them so far I have about 4000 miles so far, in lots of different weather, no complaints. I also checked out tirerack and noticed the great feedback. This same friend sells them locally and said they never had any issues and they sell a lot of them.
