I worked for Firestone in the 80's & they were replacing the 500's they've had issues since with at least two other models. I loved my BFG A/T KO's . Don't remember the milage but they lasted almost 5 yrs on my Ramcharger.

We've had the Firestone Destination M/T's for 9 months and love them.

Ive run these. They're good silent highway tires that are great in the rain and last a good while. I reside in Florida so I can't attest to it's snow performance, but I do know that the tread pattern isn't the most aggressive for an A/T. I've also read good things about the goodyear duratracs.

I have destination ATs on my Liberty and love them. They're quiet and handle well and a very predictable when they slide in the wet or snow. They were infinately better then the goodyear wrangler SR-As that came on it stock.

I run BFG KM2 MT tires on my wrangler. If I were to switch over to an AT tire, the destination ATs would be high on my list.

I had these on my trailblazer. I thought they were great. Tirerack.com says they are the best all terrain tire out there.
