Firestone Destination A/T's
Anyone had any experience with them?? I've never owned a Firestone tire. After all the crap they went through back in the late 90's, I've just steered clear of them. But now they seem to be a tire that looks decent at a good price. Just wondering if anyone has used them before. How good is the traction? How long do they tend to last?

I had them on my old s10. I absolutly loved them. Also, back in the 90's, they shared the blame with ford quite abit. I would have bought them to replace my old sh!tty BFG Ats I had on but I wanted a more agressive look so I went with the Destination M/Ts
If you buy them, the cheapest I've found them is at roadwaywholesaletire.com and of course check and make sure you the the LT version and not the P since they make em in both.

Oh, the traction was great on the s10. I went through Va clay/mud in 2WD while building a new road and never once got stuck. We had a huge ice storm too and I stuck to the ground quite nicely. Now grated, a totally different vehicle, but still a great tire. Also, I think they have a rather big mileage warranty as well for the tread. I sold the truck a year after I bought the tires so can't say how long the tread lasts.

Just checked out that site, not too bad a price. I did find them $20 cheaper @ onlinetires.com though. Guess I'll have to compare shipping costs. Thanks.

What are you a mind reader?? That's what I've been looking at all day. I also just started checking into the 305/79/17's. May have to do a level for them first though.

Very highly rated A/T tire. I almost never see a set on a truck however, more on AWD SUVs, but I've NEVER read a bad report on them. I looked into them when I put tires on my Grand Cherokee not too long back. Only negative I read is the ply is not that thick, and since I was replacing my BFGs on the Jeep because I was getting tired of plugging them, I opted for Nitto Terras. But if you don't intend to venture off road nor drive around a farm then you should be fine with them. My issue was driving around a 70 year old farm with roofing nails and sh*t all over the place. I take my truck up there and NEVER have an issue with my FCIIs, but the Jeep in far less time, I've had to do 4 plugs, three from around the farm and one on the highway during vacation. So I need the thicker ply rating...

hahaha...yeah not sure about the 305s. May wanna check if they'll even fit on the rim. If your truck came stock with the 265/70/17s then I think you have the 17X8.0in wheels. If the truck had the 245/70/17s then you've got the 17X7.5in wheels. Not sure if I'd want to run much bigger that a 285 on the stock wheels but I really have no idea what is physically possible. Plus, no level would be required for the 285s

I have them on my 05 1500 ram and I love them. Great traction and quite on the road.
I all so had them on my 99 Ram and love them on that truck also. On my 99 ram I put about 45,000 miles on them and I would say I had little less than half tread left.
Now on my 05 Ram I have about 20,000 miles and they still look new.
