I HAD DESTINATION M/T ON MY FORD EXPEDITION WITH 17 INCH WHEELS LAST WINTER. I PUT ABOUT TEN THOUSAND MILES ON THEM 99PERCENT STREET USE. I LIVE IN CT AND GO SNOWMOBILING IN MAINE. PERFORMED AWSOME IN 10" LOOSE WET SNOW IN A FIELD. AWSOME IN THE MUD PULLING OUT MY ALREADY STUCK 5 YARD DUMP TRAILER BURIED TO THE AXELS THAT MY STOCK TIRE ON MY 08 250 4X4 COULDN'T. THEY CAN BE STUDDED FOR ICE. THEY WORKED GOOD ON PACKED SNOW . ON THE ROADS UP NORTH. THEY ARE NOISY BUT NOT BAD IF YOU LIKE TRUCKS. THEY WORKED WELL TOWING A 8000 POUND CAMPER. MY EXPO HAD A 5.4 AND ONLY GOT ABOUT 12 MPG. I DID NOT SEE A DROP WITH THE DESTINATION MT. I JUST BOUGHT A 03 F350 CREW CAB THAT IS GOING TO GET DESTINATION MT PUT ON PROBABLY NEXT WEEK. I LOVED THEM ON EXPO AND MY BROTHER HAS IT NOW AND LOVES THEM. CAN'T WAIT TO THROW THEM ON MY SUPER DUTY.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN A FIELD IN THE SNOW YOU CAN'T STOP THOSE DESTINATIONS. I DROVE IN TO A LOT WITH MY DAD AND STOPPED TO LOOK AROUND. IN DEEP SNOW ON UN FROZEN GROUND UNDER IT I DROVE OUT WITH OUT A PROBLEM. I WOULD STUD THEM IF YOU GET THEM. HAD STUDDED TIRES ON A 2WD ONCE AND THAT WAS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN WINTER.

Well thanks for getting back a little late LOL, I figured they would go really well in the field, but some of my trips to Syracuse and Utica worry me thinking about the hardpacked ice covered Thruway at three in the morning or a trip up to the Canadian border are just some of my trips planned for work this winter :-(. Everything is going great with the new tires can't believe how good the truck handles those Continental are garbage fuel economy seems to be about the same for what that's worth :-) can't wait for snow take care
