I had the Destination AT on my last F150. Very good on the highway for an AT, low noise. Also good in the snow. I put 30,000 miles on the before I sold the truck, probably had another 10,000 miles of life left in them.

I have 2 sets of Firestone Destinations. One set on my winter rims, and a set on my summers.Very quiet tire that wears well. After 2 winters they had about 48,000kms on them, and put them on my summer rims.

I have them on my 2010 and they are pretty quiet. Not sure on my exact mileage but they have lasted a while with regular rotations. They also handle good in the rain.

Had the AT's on my 2002 and loved them. Did a lot of HWY driving in that truck and they were actually quieter and smoother than the Goodyear HWY tires that were originally on it. They did great in the rain and snow too.

Thumbs up

For the past 2 years have had the 285/70x17 ATs as the winter shoes.

Smooth, quiet riding tires.

I ran Firestone Destination LEs and Destination LE2s on my '99 Sierra back-to-back. EXCELLENT tires. Quiet, good fuel economy, good handling, good traction, and even with my heavy right foot and chirping them every 1-2 upshift and most 2-3 upshifts, I got 30,000 miles out of the first set with regular rotations (ran them to the wear bars). With a lighter foot and more sensible driving 40-50k out of a set should be easy.

If the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza H/Ts that came with my F150 weren't so good, it'd be an easy decision to go with Destinations when the time comes.

My stock Goodyears have 22,000 miles and I don't think there make it another winter. Since I make a 65 mile round trip to and from work. I need something that wears good and does great in snow

Terra Grappler G2's are a nice choice as well.
