as having the AT2's, I vote other. Those grabbers sucked, big time. But, I suppose it all depends on what your looking for in a tire.

BTW, those AT2's are now on my buddies liberty, he hates them. He says it feels like he is driving on a factory street tire. Said they suck balls in the snow.

Firestone destination....What model? AT or MT? I loved my MT's they went through anything. Only downfall is they dont have much siping so they suck on wet pavement.

For an All terrain tire, I would say BFG AT or Falken's rocky mountain ATS

Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a truck is, you know. It's not just a frame and a cab and a bed and engine, that's what a truck needs but what a truck is... what the Ranger really is... is freedom.

Im running the destination AT's on my F-150 and they are unstoppable in the snow and are also great in the rain. I was a BFG only guy until I bought these Destinations now I wont go back. The BFG AT's are great tires but arent worth the extra $400 a set over the Destinations especially since the Destinations out perform the BFG's. Check tire rack and read the reviews in the AT segment, the destinations come in at #1, Grabbers at #5 and the BFG's at #10 in ratings.

I guess the difference for me was partly that I got my bfgs for such a good price. I think you're right though I might not have bought them new
