Those two tires are not even close. I ran the Firestone's for about 10K miles and was very pleased with them. They were still like new when I sold them (1-2/32's worn off).

I replaced them w/ 285 Revo's which are also an excellent tire.

BTW, Ric is running 285/75R16 Firestone Destination MT's.

I've ran some 33x12.5 FS M/T's for about 35K miles.... still have about 10K left if I actually drove it on the road anymore... Great tire for the price.

I ran dueller AT's and they were definitely racing slicks that didn't help me out at all in any situation besides on the highway. I have got the Destination M/T's from Firestone and I dont think I will ever get another tire. I have taken them across the country twice and have wheeled with them alot in virginia and Colorado and been mudding with them all over the midwest. They have never met there match and they overcome evrything that they go up against. They shed mud quite well and got me out of straight soup and deep slude in flooded Kansas when I was driving across the back prarie.

My cost is $119.00 on the 31x10.50R15's.
I normally mark them up 15%, so that would put you at 140 ea.

I have the same setup, and they're going to last forever with normal tire rotations. They're rated for MUCH larger diesel trucks, so considering that our trucks weigh about half as much as most of the trucks that run them, they should last a really long time.

There is an obvious difference in tread design and the Firestone has much newer technology.

The Dueler MT has been discontinued for a couple years now.
