NEW Firestone Destination X/T

Posted this in the 4th gen forums, but the tire is likely of interest to all T4R owners.

---

I am shopping for new tires to go with my OME lift and came across these tires on Tirerack. Not a lot of reviews out yet as they are new, but feedback I have seen is generally positive.

Most interesting is that they weight only 48 lbs in 275/70r17 and 51 lbs for the 285/70r17. These are E Loads.

I am particularly interested in the 275/70r17, which is considerably lighter than the competition and a good fit for my 2008 V6 T4R with OME lift. I worry about performance loss with such heavy tires.

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...TOWL&tab=Sizes

The 275/70 K02 (E) weights 55 lbs.

The 275/70 Grabber ATX (E) weighs 56 lbs.

And the 275/70 AT3W (C) weighs a whopping 57 lbs.

Compared to the Firestone at 48 lbs.


Does anyone have thoughts or know anything about these tires -- or have experience with Firestone tires generally? Thinking these might be my next purchase.

If I needed new tires, I’d buy the new X/Ts. I’ve had two different sets of Firestone Destinations on my 4Runner before (LE2 and A/T, stock size for both), and I was happy with them.

A buddy of mine rolls on the Firestone Destination X/Ts. They are excellent off-road and surprisingly quiet on the freeway, much quieter than my KO2s. They are complete beasts in mud, dirt and rock and awesome in the snow.

They are KO2 killers, for sure.
