Default Firestone Destination M/T

I found a good price on these tires in 35's today and wondering if anyone has used these tires before, if you have any thoughts on them please let me know.

I had them on a Sport in 33s. They handled very well on the highway (wet/dry)and I could clean the mud out of the treads fairly easy. They had good tread life and the hum was less than my KM2s.

Same question here. How much and where if you don't mind me asking? I'm always on the hunt for a good deal.

They are great tires, Buddies of mine have used them on multiple rigs and loved them every time. Great life, tread pattern is good and they are tough. I have the A/T's on my rig and they are the best tire ive ever owned for what I needed them for. DD and runs to the mts for snowboarding. Ill never buy another AT again, and I would run the MTs also in a heart beat

On my FJ I had tread wright tires. Those things are awesome. Google them look at some reviews. I had the guard dogs in 285 75 17 they were awesome off road a bit noisy on the highway but I didn't mind. You will spend more like $700 on them.

I will definitely be putting them on my jeep. Just wanted to give you another option.
