Customer reviews for Firestone Destination X/T - LT275/70R17/E 121/118R Tire forFalling apart
Bought these tires less than a year ago. And they are falling apart. Huge chunks of the tread ripping apart and just random cuts through the tread blocks. I've had lots of truck tires. Figured I'd give these a shot and regret buying them should of stuck with the cooper's. Drive 12000 miles on these and half that was towing a camper across the country and for them to be falling apart and two leaking air through the tears is just not acceptable. Firestone won't do anything since they said it's roadhazard problem. Road hazard said it's a manufacturing problem so guess I'll deal with it on my own. Wouldn't recommend them for that fact. If they fixed it from tearing apart they are decent tires.

Great tires so far
The Destination XT tires seem to have a entirely different but satisfying feel as far as traction and ride go. They do great in the rain. I haven't encountered snow or ice yet but I'm sure they will do great. My only wish is that all sizes were available with with white wall lettering. I was alittle disappointed once I realized there were no white letters on the size I purchased.
Great tires!
My truck came with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires. I had a sidewall blowout after 25k miles. I recently bought Firestone Destination X/T replacements. Immediately I noticed a difference. They are very smooth, quiet tires. In about a week, I've put 700 miles on them and I've got nothing but good things to say about them. I haven't gone off road yet or driven in rain, but these are great tires
X/T quiet ride
I love these X/T tires. My old tires I only heard tire noise, now with the X/T I only hear wind noise and zero tire noise. I love my truck now with these X/T tires which makes my truck feel like a luxury car ride. Traction on wet and snow surfaces are great. This will be the only tire my truck will ever have on it and now my friends are all getting them too. Best tire ever .
So good I bought them again
I was looking to replace the OEM LT tires that I was never really thrilled with. The Destination XT had just been released,based on the attributes description and Firestone's 90 day buy and try I felt confident to buy. I turned out be very pleased that I did. The Destination XT is an all around great performer, off road confidence and really good on road manners. I am particularly impressed with tread life, how quiet and comfortable the ride is. I put 55,000 miles on and still had 6/32" of tread depth! I replace at that point to have maximum Winter performance. I was so impressed with the overall performance and value I replaced them with another set.Of course I follow the sound tire care recommendations of my Firestone Complete Autocare Team inflation,rotation,balance and alignment. I have no doubt that I will purchase a third set when the time comes.
Great All Conditions Tire!
Having grown up in the tire business, I've been around Firestone along time. This new cross-terrain tire really intrigued me by it's tread design and mileage warranty. I bought LT275/70R18s and they have been a great ride with great performance off-road and on-road. The tires are not noisy as you might think from their design. The tires have a great ride and have great traction off road, in the snow, and great wet traction with great braking. The only problem I have with them is I didn't get the mileage out of them. I'm replacing them just shy of 30K. I rotated about every 5K and have maintained my pressures with towing and not towing. I would buy this tire again!
Firestone Destination
I'm on my 2nd wrangler & I just bought these tires for a 3rd time. The main reason is these tires wear very well they last a long time, the 4 I just replaced yesterday Oct. 27, 2022 I bought back in Feb. 2018. And I drive a lot. Also Back & forth from Florida a couple times. Someone complained about noise but you gotta remember these are not passenger car tires which are built to be noiseless. These tires are especially good for me because there built to be rugged & be able to handle the tough road conditions & summer heat & freezing temps & pot holes up here in the Northeast.
Good highway tire. TERRIBLE off road tire.
Ad states "Kick up some dirt with the Firestone Destination X/T on- and off -road tires...you can depend on these tires to take you anywhere because tough terrains require an even tougher tire." Do let that fool you. The first time I took these tires off road, I had some minor chunking. The people I was with (all experienced off roaders) noted how my new tires were chunking in the Arizona sand. The next time I took them off road, they chunked a little more. This last trip, I was the only one to suffer any tire damage out of the three of us and was the only one running Firestone's. I had a front sidewall chunk that was almost to the plies and a pinhole in the sidewall that required a plug. Yes, you shouldn't plug a sidewall, but I had no choice as my rear tire also had a pinhole in the tread and I only had one spare with me. This was the first day of a seven-day trip. I ended up being towed up a couple of obstacles because the other people were afraid of me blowing another tire. We were saving my spare for the road trip home. Granted I am running LT275/55/20 E tires at full air pressure due to the small sidewall, but I expected more from these tires. Very disappointed in a premium tire that I will have to replace at least two of them with less than 5,000 miles on them. I'm thinking of just switching brands and replacing all five tires. On road, they were great. A little sidewall flex in winding mountains but nothing bad. Quiet. Good grip. We've had record lack of rain in the 6 months that I've had the tires, so I don't really have much of an opinion on wet handling. The one time it did rain, they handled it fine. I really thought I made a good choice as Firestone is a premium tire manufacture and these weren't cheap. Too bad that I'll probably dump them as only two of the five tires I could even hope to get a couple of bucks for.

Total game changer
With the new Firestone Destinations I put on my jeep wrangler the death wobble I was experiencing totally stopped. I was shocked after a year of trying to fix it, it was the tires. I switched from BF goodwrich to Firestone and am super happy. Thanks Fire stone. Justin
unsatisfied customer
purchased tires in April and had one of the tires go flat today while driving. upon inspection of tire, could not find any foreign objects or holes, so tried filling tire up with air. immediately i could hear it leaking, flipped it over and could see the large 'tear' or 'crack' between 2 lugs and going down towards the sidewall. when i brought the tire back in to the shop that sold and installed the tires, they tried to tell me that it is a puncture/cut and is road hazard. I do not have road hazard, but there is no way this is a puncture or cut. How do I have this looked at for a 2nd opinion for a manufacture defect? I can attach pictures if that will help. as of now the shop is not willing to cover anything on this almost brand new tire.
