Designed for and tested in deep mud, rock and sand, the Firestone Destination M/T2 tire delivers trusted traction with dependability and durability. Stone and mud rejectors help keep the tread clear of debris, and 23-degree attack angles give the tire strong pulling power.
An all-new tread compound, 3-ply sidewall construction and more aggressive upper sidewall design give the Destination M/T2 increased traction in mud and offer stronger resistance to chips and tears. Additionally, the Firestone Destination M/T2 tire has 20 percent more biting edges for better grip on slick, wet surfaces and in snow conditions.*
Available in 29 sizes for 15″ to 22″ wheels, the Firestone Destination M/T2 tire will replace the Firestone Destination M/T tire and offers increased size coverage compared to the first-generation product offering. Known for strong performance, the Firestone Destination M/T2 tire is backed by a Gold Pledge Limited Warranty and the Firestone 30-Day Buy & Try Guarantee.**
The Firestone Destination M/T2 tire can be purchased at any authorized Firestone tire dealer as early as July 2017.
