Firestone destination x/t

[Beat Army]

I have an unrepairable puncture on one of my oem duelers with 28k on them. Time for new tires.

Looking for feedback for anyone who has the Firestone destination x/t tires on a dd. Are they too aggressive for a daily? How is the road noise / ride? How have they held up. My use case is 95% plus on pavement and brief jaunts off road on Texas ranches and farms a few times a month…nothing crazy.

also wondering if I can fit 285/75r17’s on my bone stock sport s max tow. Any rubbing on road? Off road? I have searched the forums and the consensus says this will work…wondering if anyone has done it with these specific tires.

I’m open to other recommendations for this tire size and my use case on a stock sport s max tow (Dana 44’s and 4.10 gearing).

Well…I ordered these…kinda second guessing the 287/75r17 size…might call and switch it to the 285/70r17.

I put 285/75/17 on my stock sport S, not max tow, and had no rubbing on road. Did very little off road before a spacer lift without issues. They are Toyo Open County, but I would think you’re good to go with the Firestones.

I have a Sport S W/MAX Tow in I've had 285/70/17 on stock wheels since Sept of 2019. No issues at all!

You're going to be pleased with the 285/75's, don't change that order. I ran that size on my 2020 Overland and they were great, not too big and not too small. With the 4.10's it will drive great, if you have those silly plastic bumper end pieces like shown above you'll likely need to remove them. Don't worry, the gas mileage won't go to hell by doing so ;-)

287/75r17 installed today. Not close to rubbing anywhere. Now I need to update the tire size in the computer. And maybe level it…or a lift.
