I assume you mean the Destination M/Ts? If so, I have a set on my YJ in the 30"x9.50" flavor and love em. They only had half tread two months ago when I got the Jeep and I have wheeled it three times and they went as well as a stock YJ will go. I will say they are not awesome on wet roads but not terrible. But hey, what mud tire is? I have put about 4,000 miles on em since I got the thing and they have not worn much at all.

Honestly, my girlfriend has Mickey Thompson MTZ's on her Jeep and I love those things. They are decent on wet roads and awesome off road and they come with quite a bit of tread. Of course they are high dollar too.

I had a set of them(Destination mt) on my 97 in the 33s,they were awesome tires.Rode good,wore like iron and were great off road.I have the Mickey Thompson MTZs in a 35 now only because I couldnt get the Firestones in a 35''.I would highly recommend the Firestones.Heres a couple vids of them working.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUeGs...?v=kG668eRPTz8.

I highly recommend them. I have some pictures of mine when I had my 6.5" lift. I'll post them in about 6 hours. Looked awesome.

Tough **** tire too. Put over 8 thousand miles on them and they still looked new. That's including hitting some nasty railroad tracks daily doing 20-40.

Pretty stiff though. But that's to be expected of a tough tire.

I am switching back to them when I get the chance. Highly recommended for anyone that needs a tough tire and isn't concerned with stiffness.
