Firestone  Destination A/T2

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.

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.

Replaced Firestone Destination A/T tires on my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk after 50,000 miles with New Destination A/T2 tires. Old tires performed well and still had 5/32 tread when changed, but lost snow and ice traction with wear; so was excited to see how new design with three-peak snow rating would perform. New Destination A/T tires showed immediate improvement in road handling, wet road traction, and light snow traction, and noise compared to prior design. My true off road driving is miminal, probably only used low range twice in past 4 years, so I did not buy these tires for hard off-road wear. I drive mostly highway but also many back roads in West Virginia which can be poorly maintained with steep inclines, and more dangerous with snow steep declines. Needed decent highway tire that could handle wet, snow and ice, and occassional off road. This tire fits that bill nicely. We have only had half a dozen light to medium snows in the mountains so far this winter, but snow traction and ice traction has been excellent. No trouble going up unplowed 15-20 degree inclines in light snow and ice. Stopping distance on slippery roads is good. Road noise is less than prior off-road tires I have owned, not as quiet as highway only designed tires. Have had no chance to evaluate deep snow, and the reduced tire tread depth may be issue, especially with wear. But so far these tires have been great. Would recommend for anyone who wants an occassional off road tire with very good overall performance in both good and bad weather.

I have not had these particular tires on long enough to do a comprehensive analysis. I did notice the noise level was higher than I am accustom to but the handling on dry surface is fine.

Quiet. That was my first impression of this tire when driving off the lot. And smooth and soft. I've had Goodyear Wrangler OEM tires and two sets of Pirelli Scorpion AT. The Goodyear was forgettable, the Pirellis were spirited handlers, encouraging me to drive in a very sporty manner on twisty roads. The Firestone Destination AT2, on the other hand, encourages a more relaxed driving style because of its soft sidewalls. It's not that it cannot be hustled down those same rural, twisty, hilly county roads, but it feels a lot more imprecise and requires a lot more steering input to achieve and maintain the desired line. It's primary handling characteristic is understeer and you do feel a delay in response to steering inputs. The grip it can achieve in cornering seems good, but it doesn't encourage you to explore the limits. And those limits are presaged by a lot of howling from the tread as you approach them.

But that's clearly not this tire's mission. It turned my F150 into an even better, more comfortable highway cruiser. The decrease in tire noise compared to other AT tires I've used in immense. And impacts from expansion strips and broken concrete are softened and muted in sound. You just don't feel the harshness. The only off pavement I've done is gravel roads so far, where it actually performs very nicely. On wet pavement the tire does well. I've only experienced heavy rain twice, and did not experience any hydroplaning or looseness even crossing water running across the highway.

I haven't had them long enough to gauge trad life, but I think they will last longer than the 25-30,000 miles I got from the Pirellis and the 16,000 I got from the Goodyears--if for no other reason than I probably won't drive them as hard.

This tire is not as noisy as expected ,comfortable ride,Great handling in Inclement weather. Tires makes my Grand Cherokee look Good.

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.

Rides real nice. Quiet. Good all around feel as well as traction.

I LOVED my duelers...but they tread wore down in 24k so they weren't cost effective to replace. I ended up with these after a lot of research and time. What lead me to them was the low rolling resistance for an AT tire, the low road noise, the nice look, and the tread wear warranty. They balanced fine and rode like a dream right away. They are quiet and handle great on the road. They handled heavy rain like its not there and light snow better than my old duelers.

Where they were really impressive is that they DIDNT alter my shift points. Other AT tires felt like I was driving through sand and they kept me in 6th and 7th all the time. These see 8th just as often as my stock tires did. They also have the same, if not slightly improved, MPG that my stock duelers got. In addition to not messing with my shift points these tires actually handle wind hitting me flat on the driver and passenger side better than my duelers. I can tell I don't wonder nearly as much with these.

I haven't pulled my 6,000lbs travel trailer yet, but I didn't pull my mothers 3,000lbs one and these tires did fine. No wondering at all with wind, and they didn't sag or bubble out under the weight. That's with a P rate tire and not adding any additional air for the trip.

Overall I am VERY impressed. If the tread lasts as long as its advertised to, or at least nearly as long, I will absolutely be getting another set.

First, I'm not a Firestone tire fan. I lived through the tire bursting scandal of the 90s so I'm automatically skeptical of anything from Firestone/Bridgestone.

I replaced the highly rated Cooper Discovery AT3 4s (235/75/16, P size) with these Firestone Destination AT2's (245/75/16, P size) - our Jeep sees a lot of snow and highway time and even though the Coopers only 3-4k miles on them over the last few years, started to notice a significant loss of snow/ice traction to the point they no longer felt safe. Looking closely at the tread, the Cooper's siping is really shallow (2/32") which means there's only a few seasons (one?) of good winter traction available.

The Firestone tires were selected because they were AT, non-LT tires, relative light weight (34# vs. 37#+ for others), had good tread pattern (i.e. open center ribs for soft traction, continuous center rib for constant contact and highway mpg, separated shoulder blocks for good offroad grip), had the 3PSF rating, and FULL DEPTH SIPING - siping depth is the dirty secret of tires. Once that siping wears out, the tires lose their winter function. So, even though the Firestones were significantly more expensive than the Coopers , the Coopers were a total loss in the long run. Note, only high quality tires have full depth siping and it varies by tire brand and model. The only manufacturer that seemed consistent was Michelin - they always have full depth siping, which is why they're so good throughout their mileage.

Not many miles on the Firestones yet, but here is the low down so far: took little weight to balance, worst was 1.5oz (coopers were like 3-4oz), very smooth on highway, MPG has increased by 1-2, very little noise, good grip in turns, responsive. I'll update as I run into more roads conditions, but so far I am IMPRESSED.

I don't know if all Firestones are this good, but call me a truck/SUV Firestone tire believer. More updates to come.
