Firestone Destination AT tyres

#1

Post by Erin »

Any opinions? Can get a set at a reasonable price.

Use will be 99% tar and good gravel, and occasional off-road use.

Price is a factor, because I'm sponsoring them for cost centre no. 2 - broke-ass student son.

265/70/16s, and I need 5.

They are fine tyres.
If the price is right - buy them.
There are better tyres, but they are costly.

I was quite happy with them. They are quieter than most A/T tyres, and they have good grip in the wet.

Report back...
No issues on all the trails at Klein Pella. Normal trail pressures were 1 bar....no breaking off of chunks, no sidewall cuts. Still look new

In the dunes I ran at 0.4bar, no issues and no debeads, even with tight turning on the pans

Quiet on tar roads, so very happy with them
