Firestone Destination AT?

Hey yall...I need opinions on a set of Firestone Destination ATs. I am prob getting them in 285/70R17. Got a quote for 815 for all 4, mounted, balanced, lifetime rotations, and out the door. Are these tires good?

Oh yeah, I have a set of 295/70R17 Terra Graps on the truck right now. Not really looking to spend more than a grand because my wife is about to burst with a baby girl.

Just put a set back on my truck after 40k with the destination m/ts and its amazing how much better my truck rides without the mudd hogs on there i doubt i will ever change tires now after going too aggressive but i am in love with the A/Ts all over again

I got 285/70/17s for right at $700 in dover del idk how far that is from va but its a good deal they had lifetime rotation 6 months same as cash deal

Never been a big fan of the Firestones. Just a personal opinion, to each his own.

Wondering if OP got the tires and how you like them? I am getting a set of 265/70R17 installed in the next day or so. $762 with everything OTD. I did a ton of research and i kept coming back to these. Convenience of local shop along with price was a big factor.

I am looking at a set of P275/65R18 Firestone Destination A/T's for $853.88 OTD.
Tires, $779.96 + balance $51.96 + valve stems $10 + tax.....is this a good price?

My destination A/T's are now on the truck. Great tire so far, no road noise and they look great. Not sure if you have a Tire's Plus in your area, but that's where I got mine. Like CaptJon42, I kept coming back to these tires based on price / performance and great user reviews. BTW. Tires Plus is about $80 per tire cheaper than everyone else I found locally.Be sure you are not paying through an extra middle man! I'm happy!

I'm getting the Destination AT's 285/70/17's on my 05 F150 2WD this week i hope. I'm paying $795 OTD from a local shop, getting a leveling kit installed same day to be safe, and of course an alignment next week at the latest. So far they seem to get decent reviews

I ran a set of the AT's on my work truck, nice ride, quiet and good handling but make sure you rotate them often. I didn't and it seemed like the rubber compound was softer than others on the market, once they start to cup they go fast.

Finally got some pics up. Not sure how to attach them to the post, so I put them up in my profile. Over all, I like the tires. Good ride and look pretty good. Not as aggressive as the Terra Grapplers I replaced, but I definately like them.
