Off Road Tires
« on: November 19, 2009, 09:02:41 PM »
15" wheel-what is your favorite offroad/not paddle tire? Brand ,style, etc.. I think we discussed this before but can't find it. I have recently seen the Firestone Destination M/T tire. Looks pretty damn good but I know nothing about them . Any suggestions/opinions?

enemy has had nothing but outstanding things to say about his kumos! after having seen what he has done to those and no real signs of extreme wear I would go with a set.

I've run them on my trucks before but tread life was shorter than others. Of course a softer compound should get a bit more traction. I assume he's using the Kumho M/T's?

I am not 100% sure maybe he will post up some specs.

Hey Masterfabr I used to work at a Firestone and we sold the shit out of those M/T's!  I never heard anyone complain and they last a really long time.  I had a guy get 75 to 80,000 out of a set.  He rotated them every other oil change and made sure the alignment was right.  I only heard one complaint, a guy said they were a little noisy compared to his Destination LE's(which is a highway type tire) but when you go from a highway type to a MT that's to be expected.  He understood and said he really liked them though.  Just food for thought.

My rail has BFG MT's. They are working pretty good. I put the Goodyear Duratrac on my truck and I love those. Dam good off road, quite on road, and handle the weight of my trailer beautifully! I would do the Duratracs if I was buying tires today!

I like BFG A/T KO, I've had them on my last 2 trucks and got over 100,000 miles on them and they still had a 1/4 tread on them! Just my .02 8) 8) 8)
