The issue with Firestone tires is that they only sell them at Firestone stores. The big retailers like Discount Tire/America’s Tire can get then, but they don't carry them in stock. I.e., you would have to ask for them. I don’t even know if Costco or Sam’s Club sells them.It's interesting these tires have been out for around 3 years and so few reviews on them.
Over the years I have followed the advise of these survey results published on tirerack.com https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORMT with good success. Thanks to their advise, I have owned BFG KO2 and General Grabber AT-X and been very happy with them.
Notice that in the MT tire category, Firestone Destination ranks a little below average. There’s a new Destination MT2 that ranks better, but still below others. It appears the Firestone MTs have some areas where it performs below other MTs; the General Grabber X3 is the rooster of the MT coup right now.
FWIW, I was very happy with my General Grabber AT-X tires. It appears General has put a lot of effort over the past few years developing state-of-the-art truck tires.
Hope this helps.
