Installed Firestone Destination XT

[Onlyone]

LT265/70/17 they are Es but I didn’t really notice the difference. Maybe a bit stiffer over harsh bumps but barely. Amazing in the snow. Just wow. I was a bit worried going away from the KO2 like I have on my Rubicon. KO2s are awesome too. No really good pictures but here are a couple.

Those look great, XT must be new. I had destination ATs on my Jeep, they were good all around AT snow nincluded, but too soft and not aggressive for my needs.

They are the new aggressive, stronger AT. They still make the other AT2 tire. I’ve had them for winter tires for years. I just wanted a bit bigger tire for the surprise outings up here. I have a 2019 Rubicon on 37s for the other stuff. We will see how they work out in the rocks.

Curious on your update once you take them off road. How they will handle the rough stuff! If sidewalls are beefy enough and can withstand rocks!

Those tires are on my radar along with the KO2 ( I was trying to stay away from because they are so common, but they look amazing ) and the Grabber ATX. Keep us posted on the Destination XT.

I absolutely love the KO2. I have them in a 37-12.50-17 on my Rubicon. They are one of the best AT tires out there by far. Now, the Firestone XT performs like a dedicated snow tire. They are better than the KO2s. They are amazing in the wet , snow, ice and quiet and grippy in the dry. The rest is yet to be determined.

Price for the XTs seems pretty competitive as well.

Do you have a level kit? It doesn't look very aggressive if you do. Those definitely look like great snow tires too. I like the block edges, they look like they're very effective.

The first few pics I didn’t have a level. The last couple are with it. It’s just a 2”. I wanted a bit of rake yet, since I’ll be towing with it in the future.

I am very interested in basically the same mods you have. Keep us informed of MPG changes etc. I will likely wait until I "need" tires around 35k miles, unless I can get a buyer locally for my stock Hankooks. Not completely sold on brand, so I'll be keeping an eye on this post. And I'm thinking of doing the Eibach front struts w/stock coils for the adjustability, probably go with 2" and rear shocks with a 1" block. I too tow, so keeping rake is a must, plus I personally don't like a true leveled look. Thanks for sharing this info with us!

I had these on my Escape many years ago.. excellent in the snow and ice (AT's)

Did you feel a loss of power with them? How do they ride on the road? I've been looking at them & considering getting them when my factory Hankooks wear. Thank You in advance !

Did you feel a loss in power? How do they ride on the road? Is that stock suspension or leveling/ lift kit & if so what size? Truck looks great. Thank You in advance.
