I would fathom to say yes. And they are well rated as well.

Firestone and Bridgestone are the same company if I am not mistaken. Its kinda like toyota and lexus, or chevy and GMC, or chrysler and dodge.
I believe the Dueller is their "off road" tire but the tread pattern doesn't look very aggressive to me.
I've been running the Bridgestone A/T Revo Duelers for 10 years now. Not a really aggressive tread, but never had issues in snow or ice. Have excellent traction on the farm, but haven't mudded or climbed with them. The last set has been on now for 5 years and 40K miles with no problems. Never been rotated either. Looking to put them on my 150 4X4 too! Treadwear near 500, temp A traction A
Yes, as has been mentioned Bridgestone has the Dueler series of tires and Firestone has the Destination series. For the last year I've been running the Firestone Destination M/T in 245/75R16. I've been extremely impressed with these tires so far. My only comparison is stock all purpose Michelin's and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's. The Destination M/T are FAR better than the Wrangler MT/R's I had. The Firestone's do not sound like a MT at all, really quiet compared to other tires, more like an AT. The tread life has been great so far. And most importantly I am really happy with their traction and performance off road. I admit I haven't been doing a lot of wheeling lately, but when I do go out I have been surprised by what these tires will go through.
I remember paying more than I wanted to spend for these tires, but I am happy with the choice I made. I was a little skeptical after hearing all the bad stuff about Firestone back from the Ford Explorer issues. That was quite a while ago though and I think they fixed all those problems.

Firestone Destination M/T in 245/75R16
I have the same with almost 50k on them, they are about 1/2 worn.
Been happy and most likely will buy them again.

I owned 3 Explorers from the 90's that all came with horrendous Firestone tires. Absolutely weak, crap tires. Maybe Firestones are better now but I vowed to never, ever own Firestones again. I love BFG tires and love my KM2's.
I've got the destination MT tires on the front of my disco. Closest thing I could find to the old Goodyear MTR tread. No complaints. Seem to wear better than the MTRs.
On the firestone explorer comment above, the explorer thing was crap, but I kind of respect them as a company for the eventual outcome of that deal.

Actually My three Explorer Sports of which my son still has my old 1998, were all great, reliable vehicles but were lousy off road and road badly off road. You felt every bump. We put 350,000 miles on them including lots of off roading ( though nothing tough as they could not do it) and I loved all of them. I'd take my D1 in a heart beat though and wish I had had a big windowed, good off roading D1 back then.
I've had Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's for about 40k miles and have been very impressed with the performance and tread wear. Not MT's certainly but they have handled a variety of terrain really well. And they are quiet as well.
