Firestone Destination M/T

I heard amazing reviews on these for off-road traction and performance. But how many miles are you guys getting out of these? I'm going to college soon which means HIGHWAY! But I'll be offroading a bit. Anything helps. Thanks.

45-50 thousand is about average if you maintain the air pressure and keep them rotated.

Ya, but the bad thing about tires-easy.com is the shipping is rediculous. That's what kept me from ordering from them. Got my set on Craigslist instead.

You could pull the whole, "Do you match competitors?" to another company.

If this is a reputable dealer then good find! Anyone have any experience with them?

In lieu of that link, my tires are up for sale over in the marketplace

edit: i got quoted 99 bucks to my door, 25 a tire isn't unreasonable by any means. and plus 122 a tire is justification enough

Great tires, I have about 10,000 miles on mine and they still look brand new. Good road manners, quiet, and great offroad.

If you're still looking you might wanna try www.roadwaywholesaletire.com. They had some decent deals when I got mine. Love the Destination MTs btw. Drive 60 miles a day for work and can't complain

I run them on my XJ. I've about 15,000 on them (95% Highway) and they look almost new. They're my first set of M/Ts so they are a little noisy to me, but everyone else says they're quiet for what they are. I'm happy with them. Excellent off-road traction and they're even pretty good in the rain. Haven't had them in the snow much so really can't give an opinion. I'll probably get another set if these ever wear out...or I lift and go bigger.

That's scary low price, sure they aren't blems or something? Since when do you see a brand name mud tire on the "cheap" page?! Great deal if it's legit though, I've decided on Destination MT's as my set as well!
