Title says it, id like to get some thoguhts on the firestone Destination M/T's Ive been hearing good thing about them. How do they stand up against the BFG M/T in your opinion?
 
I just put a set on my F-350 so far they seem to work good it doesn't get wheeled much other than the ranch roads but so far they work great
 
Can't compare against the BFG, but ran the Destination 31x10.50s a while ago and I liked them. Not too much road noise, not very aggressive though. They did clog up with NC red clay very easily.
 
I think they're great! the BFG M/T's clean alot better but from my experience, they wear faster than the Firestones. I've got over 60,000 mi. on mine and have slightly more than 1/4in tread left. There's not alot of clay around here so I don't know about that. Farm fields, muddy riverbanks,snow drifts.they work really well IMO. some hydroplaning issues if you hit standing water at 60mph,but otherwise no problems there. I haven't been in too much sand either,but the little I have been in.. as long as you're easy on the skinny you'd be ok. But with a lead foot on soft sand you'd get burried quite easily. Good price,also.$545 OTD mounted,balanced valve-stems,31-10.5-15.I'm thinking of going to 33's when these wear out. Good Luck! I would reccommend them. And,yes. They're quiet,also.

where did you get this price at? I got one quote from a decent priced guy for 33" 12.50R15 $165 each +tax=177.16 x 4=$708.67. Does this sound right? or too much? Also do they have any specials going on for these tires? Buy 3 get ???
 
I got them at a dealer locally. I've probably still got the receipt somewhere in my files, but I don't remember the price per tire. The price quote you got sounds right. I'll call tomorrow for a price on the 33's just out of curiousity. I'll get back with you here.
 
Awesome, thank you . Ill check back here and see what kind of quote you got.

You better jump on that,Bro! I just called the same place I got mine from: mounted,balanced, stems, tax,disposal=$850.76:eek1: Ea. with tax=$199. That's a helluva jump in price. Go get 'em. Hurry!
 
That price was just for the tires though, not mounting and all that other stuff.
