I am looking at these 2 sets of tires for my f150 soon. The reason I am choosing one of these 2 is because I can get them for 60% off (yes 60%) the MSRP. So please don't tell me to look at other tires. This is what I have narrowed down my choices to.

I am looking for opinions/experiences with both or either of these tires. I would like to know about road noises and tread wear. I have BFG A/T's on riht now that wore incredibly quick. They are pretty much toast at 30,000 miles. Tread separating AND dry rot in a year and half. I also want something more aggressive.

Any advise on these 2 tires would be great. I am looking at them in 285/75/16.

 

I like the firestone m/t's, I have never personally owned a set, just because they are so high priced down here (good bit more than the bfg's). But from the people I know that has had them, they wear real good, and the noise from them isn't that bad. But don't get me wrong they are a m/t so they are gone to make some noise. So I would say they are a pretty good choice. I have always heard mixed reviews on the yokohama tires, but I don't know much about them.

 

I would go with the firestones m/t. The geolander is a directional m/t tire and personally I am not a big fan of those when it comes to daily drivers. I think you will get better maintainability out of the firestones along with great performance and looks.

 

i have geolanders on my 02 screw they ride nice and have about 45 thousand on them and still got another 20 on them easy

only beef they dont deal with any off road terrain very well

 

Both are great quality and great sellers for us. I probably sell a bit more Firestone than Yokohama, but both are decent. I'd buy Firestone if it were mine because the Uni-T technology rubber compound provides for proven better wet grip, and they are pinned for studs as well.

I have both in stock, please give me a call if interested.

Thanks.

x2!

 

x3! i need some new tread within the next 10k

 

I am going to go with the Firestone's. They look sweeter and from the reviews they should be pretty good for my needs.

 

Heres my truck with some new Firestones. 285/70/17
I love um!
They will probably be louder than your A/T's but are considerably smooth and quiet for an M/T. I have not had them long, but I did drive to L.A and back through a downpour and they held the road like a champ! Everywhere I checked these tires got great reviews if not the best. You will be happy with your purchase.

 

Here's my '01 with a set of 285/17 Firestone M/Ts.



I've had them for a little over a month and have put about 1500 miles on them. I finally had a chance to test them off road this weekend and was very impressed. I went out to my hunting property and easily went through several spots in 2WD that I typically need 4WD to get through.

They are little noisy - but then they are M/Ts - and besides I don't even notice it any more unless I've got the windows down and am making an effort to hear them.

 

Get your tires yet???
