4 Tires (235/70/16)
Mounting/Balacing/Disposal
5 Year Warranty
Will take a trade in for my stock spare for money off a 5th
$477.12 (4)

for $16 (plus tax) more per tire, I can upgrade to 245/70/16's

Good deal? They rated very close to the Dueler AT Revo and I'm looking a daily driving tire that is good in the snow and light offroad use. I have never had a vehicle with Firestone's on them.

Just for price comparison, I paid $586 to mount/balance (5) Destination A/Ts in 245/70 with road hazard insurance at a Firestone store. There was only a $5 difference between the 235/70 and 245/70 per tire so it wasn't a hard decision for me.

So would I be better off going with those rather than the Firestones? Firestone had a little bit better of a rating for "deep Snow" driving conditions which would be good.

Joe jeep,

My Destinations do way better everywhere than I expected and I hate A/T's. (the price was right)

Lay them side by side and choose :lol:

Sorry if my first post was confusing, but I bought the Firestone Destination A/Ts (5) for $586 and have been very satisfied so far. My needs are similar to yours - occasional off-road use, but mostly snow and wet traction needs. I do like the 245/70 size better since it is wider and a fraction taller than the stock 225/75s or 235/70s.

I just drove about 9 hours to Camp Jeep on these tires and they were no louder than the stock Goodyears on the interstate and they did well on the trails. The Destination seems to be the best value for the money. Good luck on the purchase.
