Firestone Destination MT

anybody running these in 315/70/17E? What kind of mileage are you getting out of them? I am on my second set of BFG 315's and will need tires soon. I would like to get similar mileage out of the Firestones. Dont want to buy a tire that wears out in 20,000 miles. Your thoughts........

Thanks in advance.

Last set we had on 94' Dodge CTD got 80k out of them. Towed about 3 times a week heavy. Put a set on my old 2001 (sold now) have 30k on them and they still looked new. GREAT tires IMO and they have an awesome grid in the mud and clean out really well!

I have the 265 MT's, so far so good, lot's of driveline vibration at start and stop had me worried at first. I only have about 3k on them though. I wanted the 285, but they were backordered and I didn't have the option of waiting for them. They were running a special at the time buy 3 get 1 free.

I got a set of the 315 MT's on my truck about 6k miles ago. So far I love them. Got them off tirerack.com. I'm getting 16+ mpg mostly city driving. On the highway I'm closer to 19 - 20 range hand calc. My overhead stays on 24-25 . . .stupid thing.
