From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Firestone Destination A/T2 is widely regarded as a high-performing all-terrain tire that excels in wet weather and snow, offering a balanced experience for daily drivers and light-duty truck owners. While most users praise its longevity and highway comfort, some concerns persist regarding its durability on rugged terrain and a slightly vague steering feel.
Pros
- Exceptional wet weather traction and grip
- Strong performance in snow with 3PMS rating
- Quiet and smooth ride quality at highway speeds
- Impressive tread life and mileage
- Good value for the price point
Cons
- Vague or unresponsive steering feedback
- Questionable durability on sharp rocks or rough forest service roads
- Stiffer ride compared to factory street tires
Observations
- Users transitioning from factory street tires to the A/T2 on 2WD work trucks report a noticeable improvement in off-road traction despite a slight increase in tire stiffness.
- Large SUV owners report that the tire maintains fuel efficiency while providing superior winter performance compared to original equipment all-season tires.
The Sumitomo Tour+ LST is perceived as a budget-oriented tire that prioritizes longevity over performance. While it offers improved tread durability compared to premium touring alternatives, users report a noticeable compromise in handling and overall grip.
Pros
- Improved tread wear longevity
- Cost-effective replacement option
Cons
- Significant reduction in grip compared to premium touring tires
- Compromised handling performance during spirited driving
Observations
- Users who prioritize tread life over cornering performance may find the trade-off acceptable for daily commuting.
- The tire is noted to perform poorly for drivers who engage in aggressive cornering.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
