I am trying to decide between the Coopers and the Firestone Destination M/T's.
Has anyone had any experience with the Firestones? The price difference here is only about $20 for the set.

I dont like the Firestone brand since it had that problem with the Ford Explorers that they suddenly go BOOM .. or deflated
that crap made my mom had an accident

I agree and they have no real warranty. I got a new truck with Firerocks on it a few years back and the tread started to seperate so I took it to the stealership and he sent me to the Firerock place and they said tuff luck. So I bought some Coopers to replace the Firerocks and pledged to never buy anymore of their products. They also make the Bridgerocks too.

Looks like I'm probably going with the Coopers. I called around and found a place in town I can get 33's, mounted, balanced, etc for $722.80.
I'll have to wait another week or so to come up with the $$, but they have to order them anyway. That's about $125 cheaper than I've found them anyplace else.

I've had good luck with Firerock truck tires, but really bad luck with any of their passenger tires. I had a lady hire me to drive her pickup to San Diego. She had brand new 11-15s on all four corners. She lost two coming down from Alaska and I lost one crossing the mountains.
