Is that a good tire for you? Depends on your usage.

Use SEARCH to find more details whereas this topic is discussed every week.

also keep in mind that at stock ride height you are not going to fit 33" diameter tires on these trucks

I have Destination A/T's on my Durango (245/70/16) I liked them when I 1st got them, but I dont think I will get them again. They wear very uneven, and yes My alignment is correct. Ive already had to replace 2 tires. 1 was out of round and the other 1 was wearing funny. I still have a vibration somewhere and I think its the tires. I beleive I will be going to BFG next time.

You did your home work!


Remember to get 2" offset rims and 33 X 12.5 tires or equivalent of 285 X 75 R16's

I was also looking at the firestone MT's. I liked them and they are priced well, however I think everyone is safe with an AT. Unless you are muddin or wheelin ALL the time MT's really dont perform well on paved or wet roads. Personally, you cant go wrong with BFGoodrich AT's, Big O AT, and Hankook has a pretty good AT out right now also. Good Luck!

Default I like General Tires I have them on my Durango and they are great.

they do give a smooth ride. yes make sure you get the high end. but they are really good.
