Firestone Destination MT Off-Road Tires on Steel Wheels

This item consists of a stack of what appears to be three, or possibly four, Firestone Destination MT (Mud Terrain) off-road tires mounted on steel wheels. The top tire is clearly visible, revealing the brand name 'FIRESTONE' and 'DESTINATION MT' molded into the sidewall, along with other unreadable tire specifications. The tires are black and feature an aggressive, open-lug tread pattern characteristic of mud-terrain designs, optimized for traction in challenging off-road conditions. The tread blocks are large, irregular, and widely spaced, with siping visible on some of the blocks for enhanced grip on wet surfaces. Small, conical rubber nubs (vent spews) are still present on the tread blocks, indicating relatively low wear or potential newness, although some areas show slight scuffing. The wheels themselves are made of steel, featuring a dull, possibly painted or coated, gray finish that is significantly corroded and rusted, particularly around the bead area where the tire meets the rim. This rust is a notable condition issue, suggesting the wheels have been exposed to the elements or stored outdoors for an extended period, and could impact their structural integrity or appearance. The top wheel's inner surface, visible through the tire's open center, also shows considerable surface rust and some dirt accumulation. The general condition of the tires appears to be fair to good, with no obvious signs of major cracks, punctures, or dry rot visible from the provided angle, though a full inspection would be required to confirm. The overall aesthetic suggests a utilitarian, rugged purpose. Given the visible condition of the wheels and potential outdoor storage, the estimated age of these tire and wheel assemblies is likely several years, and they appear to be used rather than new old stock. The craftsmanship of the tires themselves, being a product from a reputable manufacturer like Firestone, would generally be considered standard industrial quality for automotive components.
