Destination At's

Does anyone have a pic of 17 wheels with 285/70/17's with this tire or something similar. I have a leveling kit but was curious how this tire would look. Thanks

My buddy had them on his Screw and hated them also. I mean 2inches of snow and it was like driving on an ice rink.. goodyear AT/s are the way to go. We have them on our Ambulance and 1ton Rescue Rig and they have been great tires in the wet and snow..

One of the worst tires on the market...however the size would look good.

I highly recommend the Goodyear Silent Armor. Got them on my SUV in a 265/70/17 (32") and I love them...a set of 4 cost me $865 in Hawaii money...so about $600 on the Mainland.

nice firm grip, and quiet...I kinda miss not being able to do 4 wheel burnouts though...the Goodyear Wranlger RS/A tires they replaces were crappy

please forgive the goat symbol

edit: I might actually get a set of these for my F-150 if I can find them in a 34/35"...pretty good quality and good price

Look at the General Grabber AT2s. I have a set of 255/70/17s and really like them. They also come in 265/70/17. I paid about $640 tax & mounted. I have some pics in my gallery.

I have the destinations on my truck, i cant really say anything bad about them. They are wearing well, and seem to provide adequate traction in the snow and the rain. My truck is 2WD and i dont drive off road with them and i dont think that they really made to be off road tires. Overall i would buy them again and i replaced the Hankooks that came on my truck with them. Dont get me started on those hankooks, only lasted 30,000 miles and were noisy. I noticed a big difference once i put the Firestones on. So far the firestones have about 25,000 miles on them and they still are doing the job.
