For the last 5-6 years I've exclusively used BFG AT, but now I wanna be a bit open minded. any suggestions?

 

I have only ever run a mud terrain, so i am biased to. Super Swampers are good tires, if you have a trail rig. The BFG KM2 has really really good on road wear, and its pretty good offroad. Im not a fan of at's but thats probably cause I have never run them.
I'm about to put some Kumho Road Venture MT's on my rig after I get it lifted. I'll let you know how they do.

 

Firestone Destionation AT

ive had them for 3k now and there doing very well..

mud ,snow, rain and on road very good overall..

and there MT is lookin good to..

 

open minded - cooper sst's? dunlop mudrovers - they might wear a bit fast, but sure are aggressive and pretty cheap to boot? good year duratracs maybe?

 

My Firestone dealer told me that he will pro-rate new tires for me if they wear out faster than the warranty. I mean I love BFG AT's, but every rating that i'm reading, says that Destination AT is better than BFG AT. and they are quite a bit lighter than BFG's. I think I'm ready for some decent mpg.

 

I run the Kumho M/T's on mine, but my wife's waggy has the Firestone Destination AT's and they've proven to be a pretty capable tire on the road and in snow. Haven't had them in mud yet.

 

I live by my baja claws they are awesome on road and offroad they wear great both ways... An they are fairly quiet on the highway. I've gotten all my friends Into them. I ru. 33/1250s my gf runs 31/1050s. Couple other friends run 33/1250s an one friend has bias 35/1350s unbalanced an he can hit the highway n do 65mph with no vibrations. Just my 0.02$

 

No experience with Firestone, and personally don't really care for them. I have run BFG AT's (loved 'em), BFG MT's, and Goodyear MTR's. You said you've ran AT's for the last 5-6 yrs so if you switch to MT's be prepared for a lot more road noise from the tires and a possible drop (very slight) in MPG.

If you don't do any aggressive wheeling I would stick with AT's as they're much quiter, provide better MPG's, and typically cost less. Have you looked at the Toyo Open Country AT? That would be another good choice, and my father-in-law runs Michelin LTX/MS on his Silverado 1500 and loves them.

 

Bit the bullet with our plow/tow truck(2001 F350 diesel) and went from 315/75-16s BFG ATs to 315/75-16s Firestone Destination ATs and absolutely love them. I have ran BFG ATs on our work trucks for years. To me they lack in comparison with the Firestone ATs. The Firestone ATs do better in soft sand, snow, and ice. I can say the BFGs had great wear. Put 80k on the last set.

 

take a look at the firestone destination M/Ts i got a set a few months ago and couldnt be happier, alot more off road/snow capability than A/Ts.the destination M/Ts are a good tire as far as i'm concerned

 

how well do m/t's perform in just wet pavement?

 

I have Firestone Destination AT's on my daily driver. We've had quite a bit of snow lately and they rip thru it like it's not even there. I used to have BFG AT's on my DD and while they compare I think my Firestone's are better in all weather conditions.

 

My Goodyear MTR's do just fine. The large lugs and voids allow for more water passage than an AT.

 

Another note is I've noticed my BFG mt's on my trail truck does not do half as well in the snow when I drive it on the pavement as the Firestone AT's do. Wet roads are really no difference.
