Found a pretty good deal on some firestone destination A/T. Anyone running these?
I considered ATs but after seeing the LEs and ATs in person I decided to go with LEs. The ATs have a more aggressive tread pattern and I didn't want a tire that has road noise. The reviewers say they're a quiet tire but I didn't want to take a chance.
I'd much rather have a quiet tire over something with better traction. When it snows I stick it in 4WD and I've never had problem getting around.
FWIW, this past fall I went to Wyoming and it snowed and the dirt roads were wet, muddy, slippery goo. I was very impressed with how well the LEs did in those conditions and especially considering that they're not an mud tire.
I can't say that LEs are exceptionally good in snow though. They're basically on par with all the other MS highway tires I've had. OK but not exceptional.
