Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Destination A/T2 is Firestone's Off-Road All-Terrain truck tire developed for drivers of pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, Jeeps and crossovers who want a tire they can depend on to get where they're going, on- or off-road, and even in inclement weather. Designed with traction and durability at the forefront, the Destination A/T2 also features light snow traction sufficient to earn the tire industry's severe snow service certification and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

A specialized tread compound is molded into the symmetric pattern of the Destination A/T2. Engineered to blend off-road capability with a comfortable and quiet ride, the high-void pattern features a solid center rib that provides constant contact with the road. The full-depth grooves of Firestone's HydroGrip Technology package help enhance wet weather handling and, combined with the increased see-through void, improves hydroplaning resistance. The aggressive shoulder pattern helps to improve handling off-road, while Stone Rejecters between the tread blocks are designed to reduce damage from stone drilling. The heavily siped features of the Destination A/T2 plus notches in the independent tread blocks and center rib deliver traction in snowy or icy conditions and help the tire earn the 3PMSF symbol.

Internal construction of the Destination A/T2 features a robust, two-ply polyester casing to blend durability and ride quality. Two wide, high-strength steel belts are reinforced with a single, nylon cap ply.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...in a few weeks of driving i will say they are incredible in the rain, including near freezing heavy rain and standing water...

early days on this new set of tires. i do a lot of research, using this site, tyrereviews.com and of course user reviews. this tire objectively tests out extremely high in almost every measurable metric and subjectively for comfort and sound. clearly it's a road biased AT tire, but tyrereviews did thorough gravel and dirt testing and said it was excellent. in a few weeks of driving i will say they are incredible in the rain, including near freezing heavy rain and standing water. the old Toyo OC2's were downright dangerous near the end. i've aired them down and driven up steep, loose and snowy mountain roads and they didn't flinch and beat my expectations. i doubt they are a 'tough' tire, and are more positioned as an exceptional all rounder with great on road performance as the priority. too early to tell for me at this time, but they are highly impressive so far. if you prioritize 'that aggressive look', these are not your jam, but if you prefer a critically acclaimed tire with broad performance in all areas, without being a serious off road tire (the Firestone Destination XT is that tire) put these on your short list, especially if wet weather is a priority.

I bought these because I use my truck mostly in the winter in the mountains. These tires are a massive improvement on the snow and ice over the standard all season Michelin M/S. I have never gotten stuck in any depth of snow I had the courage to drive through (up to 1 foot). Incredibly confidence inspiring and comforting to drive in any condition that would keep most people off the road. On the dry at highway speed, they are slightly noisier than all season tires but not obtrusive. After 45k miles, wear has been even and traction still good although it might be a good time to replace them.

...BUT on a side note, the positives were that the ride quality, noise, and comfort are excellent...

I purchased these tires after looking at mostly excellent reviews here on Tire Rack, as well as other reliable places and websites. Unfortunately, I am having to purchase a brand new set of tires MUCH SOONER than anticipated. After around 20-22K miles, the wear bar started showing on the tires, which is completely unacceptable for the normal tread wear life span of these tires. I am very disappointed in how long these tires lasted. BUT on a side note, the positives were that the ride quality, noise, and comfort are excellent. I just wish they would have lasted longer and at the very least, wish they had made it to 30-35K miles.

Really decent tires, great look and profile, very light and nimble and very quiet and comfortable...

Really decent tires, great look and profile, very light and nimble and very quiet and comfortable. The snow and ice were not the best but better then highway tires but not as good as specific off-road or snow tires. They were very doable for winter driving, but don't expect them to be an answer all. Dirt tracks, rocks, gravel, I never had an issue. Some deeper standing water or ruts can get you a bit off if you are at speed, but overall, a well-rounded tire. I live in Montana and so far, they have lived up to every task. Quiet and responsive on the roadways, and connected on the dirt/gravel tracks.

So far 11,000 miles and they barely show signs of wear. At the price point, comfort, wear these are a very good, valued tire. Don't pass them up.

...I'm not sure of the actual tread depth but after 20k miles of mixed driving they show no apparent signs of wear and the ford dealer marks them as near new each service...

After having a few sets of Destination AT tires over the last 20 years, with great results, I decided to try these AT 2 tires. These tires shine in every situation I’ve used them, just like the old ones. Dry and rain are nothing to these tires, even in standing water at fairly good speeds the tires pump the water out and stay planted. Snow and frozen slush doesn’t stop me with these. All I do is drop the speeds down to something reasonable and the truck will handle confidently. Light farm mud is no big deal either, it just goes. Very quiet since new and very little weight required to balance them. My truck has its alignment check once a year and tires rotated every 5k. I’m not sure of the actual tread depth but after 20k miles of mixed driving they show no apparent signs of wear and the ford dealer marks them as near new each service. These firestones aren’t the cheapest but they aren’t the most expensive either. I don’t give a crap about a wild looking tread or sidewall. These look good and perform perfectly for me. I’ve never had a bad Firestone tire, and I’ve had a lot of them. I’ll keep buying these tires for my family’s safety. The only thing holding you to the road and gripping when braking or turning is a few small contact patches, don’t cheap out.

...they aren't the best looking (not 'tough') compared to more off road AT tires, and i doubt they will be durable over time, (they are so light)...

these are a mild AT tire, with an on road bias. they are exceptional, and score very very high in almost all tested categories, here and by other third party instrumented testers (i won't mention the tire test site here). i only buy tires that have independent instrumented testing, that is followed with reviews by owners. they are light tires, and very low rolling resistance, yet they have excellent wet weather and light snow traction. i'm most surprised by their performance on wet rooty and rocky trails in BC. i do air down to 20 psi for the relatively mild off roading i do, to reduce punctures and improve the ride quality and they have really surprised me on wet, slick rocks and mud. i was far down a tight trail and had no option but to continue through a deep mud hole that could have totally bogged me right down (frame deep) but the tires (and 4LO, locked rear diff) and the Xterra's brilliant capabilities tractored right out. that was a test i didn't anticipate as i avoid mud at all costs, so i'm pleasantly surprised. they aren't the best looking (not 'tough') compared to more off road AT tires, and i doubt they will be all that durable over time, (they are so light) but they are definitely high performing, quiet, and help with mileage, so at this point, i have only praise for them.

Currently 52,000 miles on a 50,000 mile warranty. Overall this has been a great tire. Rotated every 5000 miles religiously. Air pressure at max for the Jeep Cherokee (33 psi). Very impressive on ice (5 speed transmission helps too), snow traction and control are very high too. As mileage increased so did the traction noise, but not too bad. Rotations brought tire imbalance issues every time and as I did the rotations myself, I also did re-balance at home. Wheel roundness is a must and you will find wheels that are out of round, causing balance issues overtime.
I would buy another set and recommend these tires on this application but the tire has been discontinued. Too bad I say.
