Ones I am going to keep a close eye on for when my tires need replacing are the Firestone Destination A/Ts. I've come across a couple other forums with more than a few members that swear they work better than BFG KO A/Ts, which a lot of guys like as well. Just a thought.

I found some 305/70/16 Pro Comps with good tread. do you guys think they will fit stock wheels or will I need wider/offset wheels? also, I have a leveling kit or something that I just noticed... I never thought to look, cause it was sold as "stock". not sure if that will make a difference how they fit.

I have the Firestone Destination A/T and they are about as good as the reviews and forums say that's why I bought them. I don't have anything bad to say about them. I have about 20k on mine with one rotation and they have another season at least on them. Haven't had them out in the mud or anything, but they are good in snow and rain. Drove 60+ mph during the whole winter and always 70+ on the freeways even in big rain storms. They get the job done. I'm looking into the Firestone Destination M/T for the rest of the year just for a more aggressive look.
