Firestone Destination M/T2 review
The Firestone Destination M/T2 is widely regarded as a high-performing mud-terrain tire that balances aggressive off-road capability with surprising on-road civility. While most users praise its traction in mud, sand, and snow, consistent maintenance—specifically regular rotation—is frequently cited as the key to avoiding premature wear and noise issues.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews on retailer and review sites; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

The Firestone Destination M/T2 is widely regarded as a high-performing mud-terrain tire that balances aggressive off-road capability with surprising on-road civility. While most users praise its traction in mud, sand, and snow, consistent maintenance—specifically regular rotation—is frequently cited as the key to avoiding premature wear and noise issues.
Pros
- Exceptional off-road traction in mud, sand, and deep snow
- Surprisingly low road noise levels for a mud-terrain tire
- Strong durability and tread life when maintained with regular rotations
- Good on-road handling and stability, even on heavy-duty trucks
- Excellent value proposition compared to premium-priced competitors
Cons
- Susceptibility to cupping and increased noise if rotation intervals are neglected
- Potential for rapid tread wear on heavy-duty vehicles if not properly managed
- Initial 'break-in' period required for optimal grip on slick surfaces like road paint
- Occasional reports of balancing issues or vibration at high interstate speeds
Worth knowing
- Heavy-duty truck owners (F-250/350, Ram 2500) report excellent performance under load, though they emphasize the necessity of strict 5,000-mile rotation schedules to prevent uneven wear.
- Jeep owners note that the tire balances well and provides a ride quality that is often superior to stock tires, despite the aggressive tread pattern.
