Switched from Goodyear MTR's to Firestone Desination MTs
 
just made the switch, MTRs were a good tire but since I waited so long to freakin align the front the front tires have a bad treadwear pattern. backs are fine. (will be selling for like 180 bucks for all 4 if anyone wants them). these destination MTs ride very well and are a bit more quiet then the MTRS however the mtrs had less treadwear and I heard they get noisier over time.

Localmotion 01-11-2007 07:29 PM

why didnt you want to go 305? does firestone make a 305

neliconcept 01-11-2007 07:29 PM

awesome, yeah we will have to grab a few drinks

neliconcept 01-11-2007 07:48 PM

305s would have been 90 or so more. and they didnt have any in stock except firestone ATs. which had 1000 miles on them

stuck with the new 285s so who cares

I see you got your TJM moved up to fit correctly with the body lift...looks good man

all_terrain17 01-12-2007 08:07 AM

Though they discontinued the Destination MT's :think:

The tires look good!

EDIT: NM, I was thinking of the Dueler's :D

Blake,
you will love them tires, they are some great shoes, lol

I think we need to trade wheels and tires, see mine are about half tread, already broken in for ya, saving you time wheeling them :D and my wheels have some rack rash on them, again saving you time wheeling and getting them all scratched up :D
yes I would do that for ya, :laugh: what are friends for ? :hillbill:

been talking to my mom about it, she isnt all that happy about this long of a road trip by myself but she is willing to let me do it. I still have to get my Essay finished for CSU.

Ric do you know much about CSU and how far is Ft Collins from Denver?
