Customer reviews for Firestone Destination X/T - LT235/85R16/E 120/116S Tire forunsatisfied 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.

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 = 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!!!!
Good Tires
I have driven over 1,000 miles on them and am very pleased so far.Mostly gravel roads and prarie trails with some highway. They are holding up nicely to the gravel. Have not done any snow driving yet as it's been dry here, I think they will do just fine.
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.
Best A/T Tire ever
This will be my 4th set of 265/70r17 between my two 3/4 ton pickups and I plan to go bigger to see if they will impress me even more. They are amazing in deep snow mud sand and rock. And they are great on bad ice as long I kept it 55. I highly recommend these tires I put them to work every day and thru play seeing if I can get it stuck down unplowed roads. I hope they make these tires forever because I believe and trust these tires more than an other and will continue to buy them.
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
Falling 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.

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.
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.
