Im looking into both of these tires. I love my destination A/T's, and would love to try the M/T's, but since I got my lift on I want to go with alil bigger and more agressive tire. I can get the Firestones for about $610 for 4 but I can get 5 Goodyear's for $450 from treadwright, but they are currently out of stock. What are your views about the 2 tires? Like the road noise, traction, etc.

Thank you :D

Keep in mind that the treadwrights are re-treads and although the have the MT/R tread design, they do not promise mt/r casings. Or at least they didn't when they rolled those out.

see I was concerned about that. I didnt know if the performance of them would still be the same as a MT or even as a regular tire...

you can request which casings you want , so if you want Goodyear casings just ask them for them. Just got some in with the BFG AT tread design and with BFG casings
