I have the Firestone Destination A/Ts in 225/75/15. In my experience (90% street) they are an awesome tire in all conditions I have been through. Dry pavement they are nice and quiet, snow is good for grip unless you are trying to spin the tires on purpose. Only bad thing is ice patches once in awhile, but no tire is great on ice. Haven't had any problems so far, I've had them on for 13,000 miles and they still look almost new.

If you plan on wheeling with the Coopers good luck. I had them and they were not at all good for anything other than dry pavement. They always slipped in the rain and couldn't get through much snow with them either. The best AT tire I've had so far are General Grabber AT2s. I love these tires plus they're made to last longer than the coopers and are about the same price. Not a lot of noise from them either on the road. They do well in the rain and great in the snow. Just like any typical all terrain they cake in mud but work pretty well on rocks.

Thanks everyone for all of the input!!!

I decided to go with the Firstone Destination AT's. In fact I just picked them up today. They are a great looking tire and I saw a lot of positive comments and reviews on them, both here and other places. My buddy is going to mount a balance them for me for free, but I will have to wait a week or so to get that done. Working on a budget here, so I figured free mounting and computer balance was worth waiting a little while.

Thanks again!!
