Description:
|
The Destination M/T is the first Firestone light truck tire with exclusive UNI-T technology to advance wet handling and braking. With deep skid lugs, 3 body ply construction, over-the-shoulder tread/lug design and our special Rim Guard Off-Road Protector Rib, the Destination M/T is as tough and durable as it looks.
The Destination M/T (Mud Terrain) , with UNI-T technology is a great 4x4 tire designed specifically for off-road use. Suited to the most rugged Australian terrain, the Destination M/T provides an outstanding degree of stability and traction in slippery conditions. With robust casing construction and tread elements that deflect road hazards, the Destination M/T bears the toughness and durability demanded by an off-road enthusiast.
Advanced Wet Handling and braking
A rounder overall tyre shape provides better balance for wet or dry handling and a comprehensive tyre design method improves handling in wet or dry conditions and reduces irregular tread wear.
Mud and Off-Road Traction
A unique over-the-shoulder tread/lug design combined with low 23' Attack Angle increases extraction traction to help get you through ruts and mud and increases pulling power. Wide wraparound lugs and special tread element shapes and angles help deflect road hazards from the shoulder areas as well as improve self-cleaning in mud and snow conditions.
Features
Innovative Tire Design method improves handling in wet or dry conditions and reduces irregular treadwear by combining the ideal tread design, casing shape, materials and construction.
Innovative Compound - L.L. Carbon utilizes a special form of molecular re-engineered carbon black, a key factor in improving tire wear while enhancing wet performance.
Rim Guard Off-Road Proctector Rib helps protect the tire by deflecting off-road debris from between the tire bead and rim area, keeping the lower sidewall stiffer and making the bead fit tighter to the rim.
Dura-Loc 3.0 is a unique high-strength tie-in construction, combining 3 full polyester body plies, 2 high-tensile steel cord belts and a full spiral-wrapped nylon cap ply for outstanding resistance to on- and off-highway hazards.
Pinned for studs for extra grip in winter conditions.
Innovative Roundness - Rounder Is Better
Rounder overall tire shape provides better balance for wet or dry handling.

Was skeptical after many negative Land Rover feedback. Have 285/75/16 on 2003 Discovery. Tires performed as advertised. Aired down to 10 lbs @ Uwharrie and crawled and clawed my way over everthing I threw at it (sand, mud, rocks). Even without a CDL or lockers the tires carried me thru things that several people (with lockers)had trouble with. Everyone in our group was very impressed and I might have converted a BFG and SS owner.
Last weekend we played on mud trails while it was raining. Lots of mud, running water, slick rocks and I never even felt like I was close to being stuck.
If Firestone comes out with some more sizes I think BFG would be in trouble.
By the way... No thrown lugs
It has been several months and several miles since my last report......Wearing very well a few worn lugs from spinning on sharp rocks but no thrown lugs. Still rating 10 but wishing Firestone would add more 18" - 20" rim sizes and 35 -37+ OD sizes.....

i just teasted out my new 285/75 17 on my single cab short bed dodge ram hemi and they work great! I think they might even be better than my 36" iroks i had on my 78 k10, but I might just be excited since they are new. Not to loud, but have only gotten them up to 50 mph. The only thing I worry about is how long they will last, but only time will answer that. If you are planning on getting a mud tire, I highly suggest these, you won't be let down.

I mounted 305 75 R16 to my 2009 Rubicon Unlimited. My first drive was a 5hr drive down highways and the tire did great. I havn't taken these tires offroad yet but I had the same type on my 2007 jeep. Great for slinging mudd and they cleaned them selves very well. Can't to get these offroad

For everyone that is wanting these tires bigger than a 33 they are available. Most tire places I called said no but i just ordered a set of 315/75/R16 today. The only place that seems to have them is tiresplus, not my choice of store but had the size and an unbeatable price. They are supposed to have plenty in the warehouse so make the call if youre lookin.

I put about 70,000 km on a set of 285/70/17s on my 06 GMC half ton. They're the best tires I've ever had. Even when they were pretty much bald I could still chew through deep snow. Could've gotten more miles out of them, but I really abused them (lots of burnouts). Never had a flat, never had lugs rip off like some of the other guys said. And they grip Really good on ice for mud terrains- very impressed. I've had BF Goodrich, Toyos and Multi-mile wild country mud terrains before and these Destinations are way better than all of the others.

I have a 2WD F-250 that has always struggled on snow & ice. I had a set of tires on it previously that claimed to be mud & snow rated, but I still slid all over the place. After loading down the truck with 600 lbs of sand, I still had no traction, so I went down to the tire store and got four of these (235/85 R-16) and had them studded. Total price was $610 after tax.
I've driven on these for a week now in very icy and snowy conditions. They are the only tires I've ever had that can keep that truck under control for winter driving. With the studs, they even are good on ice.
I still have sandbags in the bed, and that helps. This morning my wife and I had no work because of Thanksgiving, so we decided to take the truck on some unmaintained mountain roads and see how the tires fared. Well, there was 5 to 6" of snow everywhere, and some parts had snow drifts at least 12" deep. The trails were also steep at times, but the tires were able to push through everything we threw at them. Granted, the truck kept trying to fishtail from time to time, we did drift a bit through the deep parts, and I had to get a running start for the steeper hills, but how much can you ask of a 2WD truck without a true locking differential?
The tread pattern is impressive, and they are much quieter than the less-impressive tires they replaced. I am very inclined to buy another set for the summer, since studs are only legal in the winter months here. I can't wait to go play in the mud!

I just got my set of 30/9.5/15 Firestone Destination MT on this week and I can say they are the best tires I have ever bought fore my truck.
I had Toyo open Country AT tires installed 2 years ago and the tire dealer said I had 4 bent rims. I lived with the Toyo tires for 2 years and no matter what was done the truck had a shake. I thought the supension was worn out. Well after the switch to Firestone the truck rides smooth. I now understand that the problem with the Toyo tires was they were never ROUND!!! I give the Toyo tires a ZERO rating!!!
Well back to the Firestone's.
1. On the road they are very quiet for a mud tire and handle very good.
2. They are great in heavy rain.
3. They are round and my truck has no shakes.
Firestone has a great tire!!! I will stay with these.

these tires are exceptional despite the fact that they don't last quite as long as people have claimed to have made them last. Only about 15k miles on them, and they are about half tread, and I'm a pretty economical driver. However, despite that these tires are amazing. The handle anything and everything, and my tires have seen it all. Especially snow, these tires are awesome in snow and ice. Havent seen anything like it. Well worth the money

33 x 12.50 on my 2003 TJ with an 15 x 8" wheel. So far so good. I was surprised how quiet they were on the highway. I can hear the radio again! Not bad on snow without lockers, I'm sure a narrow tire would do better. My first choice was a BFG KM2 but for about 30 bucks less per tire I had to give the firestones a try.

just put these on my toyota- took them straight out to the sticky black, nasty tar mud we have in the artichoke fields around here. they were really amazing! i've had a lot of tires over the years- and these cleaned out and gripped as well as anything. i'm really impressed so far. sure, they're not boggers or thornbirds but they are farrrr more streetable. noise on the highway? minimal for a mud tire. i've had mudders with simular tread that HOWLED down the highway. these really are not bad at all. the beadguard is really cool- that should keep the sticks and debris from gettin wedged in the wheel. i'll do some more "testing" with em(sand,rocky stuff) and post again. did i mention that they look really good too?

I've had these in 31-10.50 on a jeep TJ for 1 year, 12000 miles(2000 of that was off-road). They replaced a set of MT CLAWS that I loved. Was gonna get claws again, but got a great deal on these.
On the road, these tires are excellent for what they are. Low noise for a mudder, but not quiet. No hydroplaning and handle great w/no roadwalk. They balance well,are wearing great and still look like new (with proper rotation schedule).
On snow, they are great. I can go anywhere I need to go in the TN mountains with no worries.
On ice, they really surprised me. Right now the roads are a SOLID SHEET OF 3" OF ICE, and I just drove 35 miles round trip in 2wd on curvy,hilly roads. I can put jeep in 4hi and really take the fun out of the bad roads. Best road mudder I've ever owned.(during snow,ice,I air down to 18psi)
Off road,they are just OK, compared to the CLAW,they are junk.(Claws are the best I've ever seen in a lifetime of wheeling). I hunt ALOT in rough remote muddy rocky steep mts, and these tires will get the job done, but not like the claws do. They don't clean like they should untill you make them spin.Which I HATE SPINNING and tearing up roads and soggy fields. I don't have the controll that I was used to with the claws in nasty situations. I haven't been stuck because of these tires, but...I HAVE had to turn around and go out a different route cause these tires weren't able to get it done.(where the claws could) I HAVE made a mess of a few trails that I used to traverse with ease and would never slip a wheel.(which is my goal I don't like doing damage to a hunting property that a landowner has so graciously allowed me to be on.) I've never done any damage to these tires as mentioned in other reviews, but I have a light foot on the trail.
Also,off road, these are a lot "stiffer" sidewalled than the MT's, so they BEAT THE LIVIN CRAP OUTTA ME. Even when aired down they are not as forgiving as I'd like on the short jeep.(not an issue on a truck)
Overall, I like these tires on the road better than any other MT I've ever owned or seen.But they are not the "best" off road...however for a daily driver rig,where serious wheeling isn't the main focus they are perfect.The shortcomings they have in the woods are offset by how great they are on the Hwy. Sorry so long and specific, but hope this helps someone in spending their hard earned money.
I'm gonna buy another set of wheels and claws for deer season, and run these the rest of the year.

i have 265/75r16 on a 1993 chevy 1500. in the mud and snow they pull right through. on the rocks of the rubicon work great no lugs ripped off. i run 28psi around town 32 when pulling the boat 12 to 15 psi off road. these tires see the off road 2 to 3 times a week i rotate every 3000 miles there is 25000 miles on them and there is still 10/32 of tread on them. buy these tires if you hate being stuck they are the best
