Firestone Destination Tires??

I'm needing to purchase new tires tomorrow and I'm looking at the firestone Destination A/T's 285/75R/16 load range "E". Anyone had any experiance with these? If I only pull a 5th wheel camper once in a while do I even need "E" rated tires. My "D" rated PrpComps had lots of sidewall roll and had to max out+ psi.

Looked at the Nitto's and Toyo's but these Firestiones have a better customer rating.

I am running those tires now and they have been good so far with about 25k on them. I ran the Nittos last time and got about 48k out of them.

If you tow at all I would stay with E load range tires, Better safe than sorry.

I've got a set of those in that size too. I love them. Ride is great, noise is non-existant. I will admit I only have a couple thousand on them though. But for a set of E LR tires in that size, I think these are a very good value in an A/T tire. They had a buy 3 get 1 free thing going and I was out the door for a little over $500.

I run them on one of my work trucks and got 60k out of them (highway miles) and we were always pulling a skid steer and job boxes (22k gvwr)

it was on a 03 ccsb w/ a pintle hitch trailer
