    Why is no one running Destination A/T's? I cant find pictures or info anywhere, is there something im missing? Guy at the total care center said i needed new tires (already in the market) and I never considered Firestone.

    Do a search, several people have these. They are awesome for the money.
    I had some for several years, couldn't wear them out but the sidewalls started cracking.

    Same as everybody else...
    I have them on my 09 PreRunner, had them for about 15k and no worries. Capable in snow and not a lot of road noise. My only gripe is that they tend to pickup, and throw, alot of gravel. I'd recommend them.

    I had Destination A/Ts on my 08 Tacoma and really liked them. When I'm due for new tires on my 14 I will probably go that route again.

    Awesome tire. Mine have the camo pattern. When they're shined, definitely draws attention. My taco is rwd and I haven't had any problems on dirt or grass. Even with some mud

    I've got about 21k on a 5 rotation set of 275/70-17, in about 2 years (2" lift).
    Limited Manufacturers for that size. Less aggressive than some of the alternatives.
    Rated 4th in A/T's on Tire Rack, FWIW.
    Don't get off road much, so I can't address capabilities.
    As DD, they ride & corner well, not loud or rough.
    Did a 1 day, 1,000+ mi / 15+ hrs straight highway trip, twice, there & back.
    Comfortable ride & handling @ better than highway speed
    Haven't measured tread recently, but wear seems normal.
    Tho I buy Lifetime Balance & Rotation, and USE it.
    Keep in mind, I'm rotating 5 and balance them every year.
    Have Blizzaks on currently, usually 2-3 months a year.
    Generally Satisfied with the A/T's, tho I am driving a truck, not a sports car.

    My brother is on his 2nd set and loves them. I seriously considered them for my F-150 but it has 18" rims. The 16's on my brothers truck are very reasonably priced. But compared to the Cooper AT/3's I ended up with they would have been over $100 more + I got a $70 rebate on the Coopers.

    My Tacoma has 16" rims and I may well buy Firestones for it next time. Probably this summer.

    Much better than the stock rugged trails on all surfaces.
