I run Firestein's myself. Stop on a dime and then pick it up for ya.
Which model Firestones? The OEM Firestone H/Ts that came on my Ram were the fastest wearing tires I've ever owned. The were shot at 27,000 miles. They might make some decent tires, but the H/Ts are not one of them.
Interesting, I have the HT’s in the 18” on my Ram with 35,000 miles. Based on current wear, I can see getting another 20,000 on them. I’ve not heard good things on the AT’s however.
HT is strictly on road tread, AT is on/off road more aggressive tread, and you'll always get less mileage the more aggressive the tread pattern no matter the brand. I assume you're talking the Firestone Transforce which is the commercial rated tire comparable to the Bridgestone Duravis, and also comes OEM on the GM HD's. My 2013 Silverado had the Firestone Transforce HT and from what I remember were still in great shape when I traded it on the GMC 2500 in 2015 @ 26K miles.
Anyhow I am back to steak, well at least Pork chops. I made an offer on a set of Bridgestone Duravis M700 2000 mile takeoffs @ 125 each. The brother in law has a mounting machine and spin balancer so that's a freebie, and at least upgrades me to center cut chops.
