Hello, has anyone tried/purchased
the Firestone Denstination MT tire for their truck?

I have a Stock FX4-Level 2 ranger with 15x7 wheels
31x10.5x15 - KO-BFG tires on it..
wearing ok... not the greatest - overall good in rain and snow..

wanted to try the tallest 31" tire - which seemd to be the Firestone Dest. M/T - exactly 31"

any suggestions, - will a 33x10.5x15 fit on my ranger without rubbing
want to keep my factory alcoa wheels 15x7

 

Yeah it will fit with very little rubbing if any. Each truck is different so you never really know until you get them on there. I would just go with a 32x11.5 but thats just my personal preference.

 

Hi, thanks for the info...

Its almost time for me to get tires, just wanted to stay with factory wheels,
to ease the pain - of having to get both tires and wheels.

prefer to stay with a taller - skinny-er tire
like to factroy Bf's 31x10.5x15 - but taller--- these tires seem to be pretty nice in all weather - with and w/o having to use 4wd - except real-deep snow..
how are your 32x11.5 - off road ?

 

Mine are fine offroad. I can still flex it out really good without them rubbing. I've only had them rub once and that was when I had my rear passenger side tire of the ground lol

 

stay away from firstone M/Ts i had 33s on mine they were done with-in 15k

 

hi, thanks for the info...
I may consider BF goodrich M/T

 

I've seen the Firestone MTs in action a few times, they seem to work pretty good offroad

no idea about the street life

 

Firestone's suck! If you crank and or max your t-bars and get aal's or shackles in the rear you can fit 32's and completely flex with one wheel off the ground and not rub.

 

remember when the 2001 and earlier rangers came with firestone wilderness tires (the ones that shredded on the highway, causing blowouts, killing people) after those tires, i vowed never to use firestone/bridgestone again.

 

Yep that is the exact reason I dont run those tires.

 

I had the passenger tire version of those (destination LE) and they were great on tread life and had excellent grip, I'd imagine the A/T or M/T would perform well.

 

I think goodyear makes a great tire for offroading, the MT's they have are great on and offroad from what i heard. I believe Zabeard has them on his truck. I havent had firestone tires before but be sure to only get the best tires. Most important thing you can buy for a vehicle is a good set of tires to keep you safe.

Edit: they are called wrangler MTR's. Seem to be very good tires.

 

I've heard got things about the Goodyear MT/R as well and the Firestone MT. The Firestone AT is a soccer mom SUV tire though.
