I cannot say how much I love these tires off road !!!! If you're looking for an exceptional offload tire with good on road manners then look no further. I've tackled mud, rocks, and extremely deep snow (several feet deep) and these tires have pretty much reduced my winch usage to monthly checks and maintenance because I've yet to need to use it since getting these tires. I wheel mostly in the Black Hills of SD, that being said I cannot tell you how good they handle deep mud, however if they perform half as well in deep mud as they have in all of the other terrains then they will do great! These will be the only tires I put on my Jeep unless Goodrich develops a better set :)

There was no snow for the first month of the tire use, so when we got a few inches, I took the Miata to a parking lot to see how the tires would perform. Donuts, quick stops, quick acceleration were all tested. It's a rear wheel drive roadster so there was fishtailing, but the Miata does that with the forecast of snow. I was really impressed with the Continentals. I was able to control the slides and was able to recover every time, no matter how hard I pushed the car. I have had all season/mud & snow tires from Pirelli (P Zero Nero's), Dunlop, Goodrich (Super Sport M/S)...the Continentals beat them all. We'll see how they do in deep snow, but so far, so good!

Love this tire. If you own a Subaru, put these tires on your car. I own three Subies, and they all get wrapped in ExtremeContact DWS as soon as I can. Water evacuation is awesome in shallow or deep road rivers. Road force balanced the tires when they were put on and haven't needed to adjust to date. What they slightly lack in winter (deep winter, regular winter they are great) they make up for in the overall category. Dry sand, wet sand, moist mud, deep sloppy mud, and a mix of manure and mud (on the farm if you haven't figured that out already.) I have not been stuck, stopped, or buried. With a quick flick of the gas pedal to clean the tread they will keep chugging right along with Conti pride!! They have a slight wiggle when cold from sitting overnight outside but after 5-10 min of driving it is business as usual

This is a very impressive tire. It has great looks, performs well on and off road, and is even quiet.

I previously had different brand mud-terrain tire, which performed well off road, was very difficult to balance, and as the tread wore was horrible load. I have been pleasantly surprised at how quiet these tires are. It still has the traditional mud terrain hum, but the volume is turned way down. It's actually quieter than many AT tires out there.

I have driven this over ever terrain possible, and it performs admirably. The thing it does the worst on is wet pavement, and it still does that rather well. I have found that when it's rainy, I can expect a little loss of traction if I push it too much. But I have never felt unsafe. It certainly won't hydroplane with the tread depth on these tires.

Tread wear has been good, I think I will probably replace them at about 50,000 miles of use, which is far beyond most sticky mud terrain tires. One thing to note about these or most mud terrain tires, is that they are heavy. I upgraded my brake discs and pads to compensate for the extra weight these carry.

Overall I couldn't be happier!

These tires are way better than OEM factory set in almost every way possible. When new, within the first 1000 miles of purchase, I took a long road trip from AZ to WA and back. These tires performed very well on this 3000 mile road trip, on forest service roads, city roads, highways, interstates and at one point a rock quarry road. Since then, I’ve put on almost 40K miles, and these tires are still very good. Road noise is great, wear has been excellent, and other than some deep mud, I’ve always felt in control of my truck in all the weather conditions these tires have seen.
I got these tires on discount at the time of purchase; I’m waiting and hoping they go back on sale or that I can find them cheaper than they currently are. I consider these tires at the edge of A/T, being a little more street than off-road. But for my driving, they’re off-road and all weather enough to do the job when needed. If I can get them a little cheaper, I’ll skin my truck in these as long as I own it.

Great tires so far. Best off road traction tire I have used and my last 2 mud tires were BF goodrich M/t and Maxxis mudders. The difference is very pronounced and the tires are also very affordable. I can go up a pretty steep, rocky, rutted wet hill in 2wd (rear locker) that it took 4x4 with the Maxxis. Only about 5,000 miles but I rated them a 10 on wear cause they still look new. Maybe there are better off road tires made. I haven't found any, but for 99% of folks out there the combination of performance and price can't be beat. I'm 100% satisfied with the tires and Tire Rack.

Only had for around 1K miles but thought I would review anyway. Absolutely OUTSTANDING on snow and ice, I bought these to replace my Goodyear MTR's right before we got 12" of snow, there is no comparison. On packed, snowy roads, it feels SOLID.

As far as off-road tires go, these are definitely a winner. Not as good in mud as the Goodyear MTR's but still very good, and MUCH quieter as well. I don't even notice them on the highway, WAY quieter than the MTR's, but that may change once they have a few thousand miles on them (it usually does).

Outstanding wet traction as well. I haven't had these for long, but if you asked me now if I would buy them again, the answer would be YES.

I use these on my 4 wheel drive winter/ off road truck and with these tires driving in the snow barely affects the traction i get. It is just like driving in normal conditions. Even in mud and gravel i feel plenty of traction. A great tire in every day driving conditions as well. If you're looking for great all terrain tires these are the best you can buy. I've owned plenty of different brands and these are by far the best

These Firestone Destination A/Ts are great! I now have 66,000 miles on the tires and it looks like they could last another 5,000 miles although the tread has started to "cup" in the last 3 or 4,000 miles. The tires were rotated every 6-7,000 miles and I've had absolutely no problems with tire balancing throughout the life of the tires. Even though the 4WD Expedition is tall and heavy, I have a tendency to toss the SUV around corners as if it was my BMW 530i or M Roadster. The tires don't squeel under hard cornering and are stable under quick lane changes at freeway speeds. I can't comment on the tires off-road performance since the closest thing to off-road use on these tires would be mud and gravel trails. If you drive primarily on highways and cities, this is the tire to buy for your SUV.

Have purchased a set of 4, every year for the past 10 years. These are the only tires I 'have to have'. Use on work vehicle as well as personal vehicle. I am a rural carrier 150 daily miles Conditions: snow, ice, drifting snow, slush, gravel, sand, rocks, manure, and mud Vehicle Type: car and 4x4 truck I use these tires until they wear out in usually 5 to 6 months. They do wear quickly during warm weather, but last longer if the winter is colder (below freezing). If used on the interstate, they will start to sound loud at higher speeds of 65mph. These are quiet for snow tires and do not affect your gas mileage much. No complaints with the handling. No lean when cornering. Please rememeber these are not sport tires so I am compairing to average all season radials. I use two sets per year, but this is hard stop and go driving over multiple kinds of road terrain and with vehicle weighted down with mail. Tires only last 6 months for me, even the all season radials. Everyone in our office now uses these tires, even those who are not carriers. We all swear by them. I have never had to stud them. They always get me thru everything. One co-worker has been using them for three winters now. Says he may be able to make it thru a fourth. Puts them on in Nov and removes them in early spring. I recommend these tires to everyone.

I am willing to pay the higher price for these to get a more aggressive tread and incredibly quiet ride. Hard to get both. I tow a travel trailer and go on road trips a lot and couldn't be happier with getting over 40k miles out of these. Quiet ride is huge to me and on a 3/4 ton SUV, they ride great as well. Deeper snow is tough but unless you have mud terrain, most tires will have a tough time.

I had two sets on a 1999 Chevy Suburban with excellent results 65,000 miles. When I purchased the Expedition, the O.E. Continentals came off and the Destination AT's wee installed. Quiet, great wet and dry traction, great snow traction. They will pack up some in mud. This tire is an excellent value.

I feel like I am in a monster truck with these things on. Dry traction is great, wet traction is great... Snow? Like a hot knife thru butter... I feel confident with this tire. The noise? Loud and I love it. I can be heard a mile away. If you want quiet tires, these aren't for you.

Excellent tire! 35k so far and I'll probably get another 10k, commendable for a 40k rated tire. They have worn evenly with regular rotation. I pull trailers and a boat regularly, drive back trails for camping and atv riding. These tires have never let me down. They have got me thru several good size mud holes, some w/o having to use 4wd. Highway performance and noise level is surprising given it's an offroad tire. I definitely will put these on my truck again. Great return on the price!!
