Customer reviews for Firestone Destination X/T - LT245/75R16/E 120/116S Tire forX/T good so far!
I have two sets of the Destination X/T tires. One on a single cab Tacoma and one set on a Chevy Silverado 2500. Overall great tires. I wish they were available in a standard ply for smaller truck. They do ride stiff on my Tacoma. I do notice a bit more road noise on my heavier truck. Better off pavement traction than the destination AT tires I've used in the past.
These Are Awesome!
I have a 2021 F150 that I put a level kit on. Upsized my Tires to a 285/65R20. Grabbed a set of these Firestone XT's from a local dealer to make my truck look a little more aggressive. They did not disappoint. They are super smooth, literally zero vibration. Has a little road noise which is to be expected with this type tread, but honestly it isn't bad at all. I love these! I'd put these over BFG K02's or General ATX's any day. A little expensive but well worth the quality of the tire.
Nice Tires. Great for winter driving.
Never bought "good" tires before buying a set of the Destination X/Ts. Always bought Light truck driving tires, or maybe all-terrain. The traction during the winter with those was not good, had to put sandbags in the back. These Destination tires have great traction in the snow and ice so I no longer need weight in the back. This is my second set and I would recommend them to anyone. They are noisier than highway driving tires and am not sure if they are noisier than any other all-terrain tire.
Great truck tires
I purchased these after doing a lot of research. My previous tire brand was terrible, I had to get 2 sets as the first set dry rotted prematurely after a few months. I opted for the Destination X/T because they were highly top rated on every reputable source, I have loved these tires since having them installed. They perform exceptionally in the rain (to include tropical storm/hurricane conditions). If you're looking for a tire that will perform at the time you need them the most, this YOUR tire
Destination X/T
I first tried these tires (285/60/20 on Fuel Wheels) on my 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel because of the price point and liked that the sipping when all the way through the tread block. This is very important as most tires do not and after 15,000 miles are so you have lost your good rain traction. I ran those tires in the rain and snow plus off road when hunting and never let me down. Having tires that perform like the day you bought them through the life of the tire is amazing. The sipping goes all the way down to the wear indicators plus these tires are 3 peak rated so they don't freeze and get hard in winter causing a lose of traction. I put almost 50,000 miles on the tires in a truck that weighs almost 8,000 pounds loaded. I have since bought them for my 2021 Chevy Trail Boss in 285/65/18 and they are great. If you are looking you know the top brands but I took a chance and it made me a believer. My son have a 2019 Trial Boss with KO2's and they ride terrible but he is a KO2 fan so you cannot convince him there are better options but he is starting to come around as he drives over bumps and your filling come loose.
Best tire todate
this if my second set of the XT tires, I am very happy with the traction I get off road and in the deep snow of the Midwest winters. I get a fairly quiet ride on drive payment and great traction on dry and wet roads alike. Tire has just enough flex to hold traction like the tires are glued to the road in dry weather but stiff enough to have long wear life. If these tires do not outlast the truck I will be buying another set. I put several hundred miles on my truck in a year, the last set I had lasted me for over 3 years and the front tires when I changed them still had a great deal of tread left on them to the point that I kept them for spare and replacement purposes. Deep tread gives excellent traction in snow and great water channeling in heavy rain to prevent hydroplaning.
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.
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!
Destination XT
Tires look great, but are expensive. 285/60/20 XT are very durable but quite noisy on the road. Also from Street Tires to A/T's, when on the highway you can feel a lot of the Rumble. If you don't need AT's, this brand with street threads are probably the smoothest most durable choice
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.
