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.
Innovative Tire Design - A Comprehensive Tire Design Method
This method improves handling in wet or dry conditions and reduces irregular treadwear by combining an ideal tread design, casing shape, materials and construction.
Mud and Off-Road Traction
The result of a unique over-the-shoulder tread/lug design that increases Extraction Traction to help get you through ruts and mud combined with low 23' Attack Angle to increase 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.
Rim Guard Off-Road Proctector Rib
This helps protect the wheel 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.
Innovative Compound - Longer Is Stronger

The only reason I did not rate this tire a 10 is because of not larger sizes, East Texas born and bred!!

I gave this tire a 9 because its a bit pricey for me, but you get what you pay for. This tire pulls great. I live on a farm and i am constantly checking pivots and water. These tires perform great in mud, and they ride well. I am on my second set now. Mississippi Buck shot mud doesnt play either.

I have these mounted on my '09 Z71 Avalanche (285/65R18's) and love them. They perform amazingly on the mud and on rocks and are surprisingly quiet on the highway. I am going to have them siped for the winter to increase my traction on ice.

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.
