Product Name: Firestone Destination A/T's
Size: 235/70/R16
Price: $79.00/Tire (Tirerack.com)
Manufacturers Description:
The Firestone Destination A/T is the SUV and light truck all-terrain tire for drivers who want to go wherever the road leads--from main streets to the woods. The Destination A/T with UNI-T technology is built to adapt to travel in wet or dry weather and gives you an extra measure of confidence in handling and braking on those rainy days. All-terrain performance is complemented by added technology that promotes a smooth and quiet ride.
User Experience:
After finally wearing out the stock Goodyear RS-A's, I was finally able to justify shelling out for a new set of tires. For the longest time, I have been ******* after the Bridgestone Deuler Revo A/T's, but having a price tag of $114.00/per tire (Price taken from Tirerack.com), it was a bit too steep for my pockets. I went on to search for a good tire with strong ratings. After looking for a while, I stumbled across the Firestone Destination A/T's. At first I was a little apprehensive, since I have heard of other buying the Destination M/T's, and reports of it being not so street and everyday driving friendly. I asked around a bit, and searched the net, and from different user feedbacks, I have concluded that these were the right tires, and at $79.00/tire, it was also at the right price.
I ordered my tires from Tire Rack on Sunday, and got them in on Tuesday afternoon. I almost hugged the UPS man for bringing me my new meats. First off, the pictures you will see on the internet, or from this review, does not do justice to the real tires. They look so much better in person, so if looks is a determining factor for your purchase, take it from me, these look really great on the KJ.
I ordered a set of 5, and had them installed with the white letters out. As mentioned above, when I first saw them on the KJ, it was instant droolage. It definitely gives the KJ a much more rugged look, much more than the stock tires.
So far I’ve only tacked on 200 or so miles on the new tires. Initial impressions have been great. Gone are the squeals during turns. It’s a real treat not to hear your tires struggle to get grip while turning at 20 mph. Road noise is quite low, I’ve gone upwards to about 85 mph on the highway, and it’s somewhat slightly quieter than the stock good years. I have also noticed that it seems to take the smaller bumps better. I don’t hear the same rattles I used to hear when I had the stock tires on. I haven’t been able to test out how it handles in the rain, or snow, but I will update this as I pile on the miles and get to try it some more in different road and weather conditions.
