Customer reviews for Firestone Destination X/T - LT275/65R18/E 123/120S Tire forMakes an old truck a comfortable and safe ride
I very recently drove from Texas to Maine with my 2006 Chevy Silverado WT. Extended cab, long bed, 5300 lbs, and a new set of Firestone Destination X/T tires. I was a little concerned before leaving. The tread is pretty aggressive and I wasn't sure how well it would do at interstate highway speeds and hurricane torrential rain coming through the southeast. The tires were great at highway speed and a number of slower passage muddy, heavy run off water detours. They also navigated some heavy road construction with rough lanes and uneven surfaces. They did have a slight hum at speed, but the ride quality was surprisingly good. They looked like new after the first 2,200+ miles.
Destination X/T
Just wanted to say Firestone crew did an awesome job In a short time frame. While waiting for my vehicle they had some upset customers that don't understand the process of how the work is done. But the staff handled it great and that make me want to come back for future purchases. Monique,Justin and Brain did an outstanding job.You have a great group of employees out in shop as well.GREAT JOB GUYS...
Really great tire
Bought a set of these tires, didnt even look at the price until it was time to pay. I felt they were really expensive. My bill with evrything including road hazard and some air sensor kits was drive out 2394 and some change..thats almost 600 a tire, 65,000 miles later these tires still have decent tread on them.. i'm only replacing them because Im going on a road trip and I hate having tire issues.. i am buying another set and not even thinking twice about the price.. wish they were a little cheaper.. I would recommend these tires to anyone with a truck or suv.. the excellent on wet roads and pretty decent on what little offroading I do.. truck is mostly on the highway..
DESTINATION X/T = Amazing Tire!!!
Purchased Destination X/Ts to replace the original Goodyear Wranglers. The difference in road performance between the two is night and day. Regardless of weather conditions, and in Wisconsin that means rain, sleet, snow, and ice, the XTs perform flawlessly. They really grab the road when Mother Nature decides it's time for weather! They have a touch more road noise than the AT/2s we have on our other vehicle, but they are actually a low noise tire. Lastly, the XTs have somewhat of an aggressive look to them, but not over-the-top. They actually look really cool! So happy with my X/Ts and highly recommend them!!!!
Great tires
Had the tire in my durango for about 2 years now still have plenty of tread life. Couldn't be happier with my purchase they been thought all the weather and performed perfect in all conditions with proper care of tires and vehicle these tire will go farther then 50k miles when these either wear out or dry rot I will be buying another set of 5 from my suv
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.
X/T FOR THE WIN
As an employee I did some research before purchase and I am very surprised by the result I found online these tires are superior to a lot of competitors in different factors a tire has to face head on as an A/T. These tires are magnificent, smooth, quite, and take on any terrain that's in the way!
Consider this tire
I have a 2018 Chevy 2500 HD 4WD PU with the Duramax engine. Use this vehicle to pull our 5th wheel trailer (about 13,000 pounds) and our boat (about 1,500 pounds). Use the truck for on-road and off-road travel. 40,000 miles on tires, of that 12,500 were pulling our 5th wheel. Rotate about every 5,000 miles, have had the tires rebalanced twice and the front end realigned once since bought the tires. At 40,000 I am replacing them, 3/32 of tread on two tires and 5/32 on other two, likely due to the more worn tires being on rear when pulling trailer more often. Live in a mountain valley at high elevation so 3-Peak rating was important at initial purchase. Tires have worn evenly. While not as quite as a highway tire, for an "aggressive" all terrain tire they are quiet and provide a comfortable ride. Noise has increased some as tires have become more worn. Traction in all situations I have been in, (dry, wet, snow, ice, mud, gravel/rock) has been everything I expected. While I wish we had gotten closer to the 50K warranty tread life, I am satisfied enough with the tread life we got given how we use this vehicle that I am buying another set. Safe travels and please remember to be kind.
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.

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.
