Default Just bought new Tires for 08 Ram 1500 275/60/R20 Firestone Destination A/T

Thought I’d share some feed here since I always look forothers. I was running BF G Rugged Terrains on my 08 1500. I do plow with it andI know most don’t since it’s only a ½ ton truck. I decided to change tofirestone due the feedback from tire rack and just word of mouth on a bettersnow rating and longer lasting tire. I can’t give a snow rating yet but rideand comfort are excellent so far I would say a bit better than BF. The BF G’swhere not bad but last winter had a hard time pushing snow once they were morethan half worn. I do like the tires besides that having 35K miles on them andwhere pretty quiet for such an aggressive looking tire. I will say I think thelooks on the side wall of BF G a little bit better than the firestone. But for me performance is everything. Guess well see when the first flakes fall. Just thought I would past this quick share on.

Had a set of destination m/t's on my 2500, they were great at first, but as they wore, they got really loud------nothing I didn't expect. I did get over 80K miles from them

I know they weren't on a big, heavy truck like ours (1500 or 2500), but my wife had these on an XTerra for a number of years. I was very, very impressed by both the performance and the mileage out of them. I believe it was Hammer who said he knew a guy in upstate NY who used them on a plow truck and swears by them.

Nice choice. Had them and they were good on dry and wet roads. Traction on loose mud is ok but not the best.

Yea the only ones on tire rack which had better ratings where the BF G KO2. They are lot more money and may be a bit too aggressive for a stock looking truck.

My cousin, actually. Runs them on an '08 Hemi and won't run anything else. Owns a collision center and plows his lot.

They are also stock on my CTD. No complaints and I'll probably run them til worn but I'll likely replace them with a tire with a little more off road bite with a Thompson or Cepek label...
