Hmmm, so what do you guys this about these:
I don't know anything about Firestone other than they have been around for nearly a century. I am 99% sold on the new BFG M/Ts but these look kinda nice as well...
Anyone have these? Comments?

Hmmm, maybe??? I can't remember. I just ran across them looking online.
Look at the ratings on Tirerack:
Firestone Destination M/Ts

BFG M/Ts
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....wall=Blackwall
The Firestones appear to have a much higher rating in several areas.

You'll hear 'em at work. Wouldn't more rubber, less knob be better on rocks? I've no rock experience, but plenty o' mud....they look muddy to me.

Would A/Ts be more practical, yes. Do we have a lot of mud here? No, typically only in the spring or in the mountains, but nothing like back east or stinking hot Florida. Do they look cool and have a really good rating, YES!
I even think they will be a little cheaper than the BFGs also.

The only real thing I know about Firestone is that they had issue on the explorers. Pretty sure it was the Firestone. But not the particular tire.Would A/Ts be more practical, yes.

Firestone IS Bridgestone......only one tire failed...the Wilderness. Their stuff is OK....just OK
