New Firestone AT

Finally got rid of the stock dunlops and got a set of Firestone Destination AT 265 70 16.

 

Looks good. I've run those on a couple work trucks and my wife's previous SUV. Above average handling and phenomenal life span.

 

I've had these for a couple years now and I like them. I would definitely buy them again.

 

Looks good, on my short list when I need tires. Want a high mileage, long lasting AT Why did you not go to 265/75 16's ? just curious, I probably will.

 

That's what I had on my 08 and plan to put on my 14 in the near future. Great all around tire.

 

i have 35K on mine and holding up great. Don't drive the truck very often so when I do, I feel the flat spots for a few miles....but's thats probably normal of any tire.

 

I have a 4 banger and really didn't want to sacrifice mpg too bad. I just didn't think it made since to get bigger tires and end up getting the same mpg as a 6 cylinder. I will admit the 265 75 16 do look a lot better. I couldn't stand the look of the stock tires and the 265 70 16 seem to make it look a little more aggressive and at the same time not effect mpg too much.

 

10-4 to that. new tires ride nice, cant wait till my stockers wear out

 

Good tire, inexpensive and long lasting. My last set got sidewall cracking long before the tread wore out.

 

i have these same tires, after 12k miles I'm already at 5/32 of tread and i rotate them every oil change, also when its wet out and I'm going around a bend normal speeds not hard on the throttle they will loose traction. Im glad they are prorated i can't wait to get rid of them specially with snow coming up here soon.

 

Well git cha foot outta tha cobahreetah, dammit!

 

hahaha, i actually drive normal and don't beat on this truck, i had these tires on my ram and ran them to 2/32 in 12k miles, well i figured it was because the truck was heavy. Guess these tires just don't like me

 

Destination AT is a good tire. I have owned a couple sets and been pleased. A tire with good manners that does well on a daily driver.

 

I bought a set about one month ago thus far I am pleased. I am getting the same MPG as the stock Dunflops and the Firestones perform much better. I do some trail driving nothing insane and the stones performed nicely. I running the exact same size as the Dunflops where 245s.

I managed to get through a pretty huge rut on trail only to get stuck on a much smaller rut. So I called my cousin who was driving his 98 Wrangler in the same area. He was shocked that I had got a 100% stock Tacoma on crap tires where I had lol. What got me was the Dunflops got filled with mud and I had zero traction on the sides thus I slid to one side and high centered.

I drove through the same spot with the stones on an had no issues. Pretty good for a besides tires stock truck. Though I am too humble to admit that I am also a fairly skilled driver.

 

It is amazing how much of a difference changing out the Dunlops to a decent tire makes. The truck drives that much better. The only pet peeve I have had with my Tacomas is that Toyota puts crap tires on them from the factory.

 

They finally changed that with the '16s.

 

What PSI are you guys running? The tire shop had them at 40 I bleed the fronts down to 28 and the rears to 25. Reason I did that is he Firestones are a higher weight grade tire so 40 PSI which very near the max cold PSI rating of 44 is very high for a truck of the Tacomas gross weight.

At 28 PSI front 25 PSI rear after driving I checked and they where all at 33 PSI hot. I might do some tests before I settle at those pressures.

 

I got rid of the Dunlops at 1K miles. They were pretty good at MPG but that was it.

 

I settled on 36 front and 32 rear. The last few months I had them I ran at 40 front and 36 rear and was getting 20 MPG highway.

 

i have mine set to 33-34 all the way around
