either those, or the BFG AT KM are good tires too. i love the BFG AT's. it would be a tough choice between the firestone destination AT or the BFG, i like them both. the BFG looks more "aggressive" though

heres the BFG AT

heres the Firestone Destination AT

I have tackled every type of terrain- rocks, light snow, deep snow, ice, mud, slipery rock, just anything you can think of and t all has done amazingly well for even an AT. I dont really care for BFG AT's only because I out performed a guy who had 32's :D

yea. like i said, i like them both. it would be tough for me to pick one. but it would definitely be between those 2. i have firestone destination MT's and couldnt be happier with how they perform in snow/rain/ice/mud/sand etc and how they wear perfectly too. it would be nice to have a set of the AT's for daily driving because these do get quite loud :)

For a completely dedicated daily driver on roads
then Firestone Destination ATs
BFGs are OK but after running a set for a while they are not for me
The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs are a good multi puropse tire for some one who wants a road friendly tire for all types of weather but yet can go off road and perform resonably well also!

Another for the Firestone Destination A/T's I've had mine on now for about 20K miles and still no problems great wear, and in Oklahoma they perform amazing on clay/mud surfaces with just a 2WD..

Firestone Destination ATs. Great on road manners, really great in heavy rain and they are excellent in the wet coastal snow we get out here.

Another vote for the Firestone Destination A/T tires. They are rated #1 on Tirerack.com in the A/T tire category.

For the type of driving and the utilization of the vehicle that you describe, I would also suggest going with the Firestone Destination ATs as well.

BFG AT's at a minimum.

Most of those tires look like they belong on a work van. :roll:
