firestone destination mt

[98xjclassicblue]

I am looking at getting the firestone destination m/ts and i have herd alot of good reviews about them, but i wanted to get yalls opinion before i went ahead and got them :wave1:

I had a set of Dayton Timberline's, basically the same tire, I liked them. They were a bit noisy but held up to wear very well. Both of my son's have the Destination AT's on their XJ's and they have been great as far as wear goes as well. I know of a couple of XJ owners getting 50k out of the AT's, the MT should go close to that.

i loved my destinations, i ran them till they were slick.... i quit runnin em because they didnt make a 35 inch tire

Thats good news guys cause i can get a deal on them since my dad is good friends with the owner of a local firestone about 20 min from me!

 

[jeepgeek2002]

they make up 37s but not in 15" range.. in 15" it stops at 33x12.50
i saw some 315x70x17 = 35 x 1250

Well I'm a broke ass so I'm getting the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. They look good and seem like they will do well off road as well. Plus I'm still riding stock so it seems like the best bang for the buck.

 

[JoJoDaKilla]

So I was looking at pricing on that tire and its around the same price a little more for the Firestones. Would you recommend the Firestones he's talking about or the Goodyear Duratracs if you had the choice for a stock vehicle?

if your on a budget look at the wildcountry mtx i bout some 33x12.5x15s for 138 a pieceand have had them for 4000 miles and they wear awesome as long as you rotate them regularly

 

[98xjclassicblue]

How good of a deal and how many of these good deals can you get? I'm in need of some new kicks here in the next couple of months......

Weak side walls is all I can say about them... But other than that there a good tire

 

[98xjclassicblue]

Im not sure if i can get anyone a deal on them but ill go and ask on monday and let you know, and i have herd about the weak sidewall but that shouldnt effect me since im not doing any crazy rock crawling, im manly in mud and trails and the occasional uwharrie trips =)

My buddy is a firestone employee, the deal he got was under $150 a tire, not sure how amazing of deal it was, and we werent sure how many he could get at that price, just know he got em for under 600 for a set.

 

[98xjclassicblue]

i can get mine for about 630 for a set i think its a heck of a better deal than about 880$ !

 

[XJfreakHO]

I haven't bought new tires in forever

Rather wait until someone wants to sell there 80% tires for half what they cost new

 

[98xjclassicblue]

yea i know whtcha mean haha if i didnt have practicly bald tires right now i would wait for some used m/ts to come up but i doubt i can get another 2 months outta my a/ts!

 

[XJfreakHO]

Where you at in NC? Check NC4x4, 33's are a plenty.

 

[98xjclassicblue]

Im in summerfield and thanks man ill check them out do they have 31s too?

 

[XJfreakHO]

Yeah man they have everything, thats right your Andys friend. You need 31s? Buddy of mine has a set of nice ones, MT's, hes been trying to get 300 but I can get em substantually cheaper if ur interested.

They are an offbrand made by BFG, can't remember the name, 10/32 tread. Can have them mounted for free probably since he works at firestone. Let me know. 31x10.50s
