    14k miles on my 265/70/17 Nittos, very happy with them for wet and dry pavement, sand, dirt and light mud. Just waiting to try them in the snow.

    I have a 3inch lift and I'm running 285/75-R16 K02's. If you're going for appearance and off road capability (outside of mud) then these are really good. They are shit in mud and absolutely killed my gas mileage do to width and weight. I'm talkin' 15-16mpg murder. Just some input.

    I've got AT3's on my Silverado. C rated 275/65/18's. I was going to go with the A/TW's, but these were cheaper and 2 guys at the tire shop ran the AT3's on their trucks. They said AT3's worked well in the snow when new, then have them siped when they start to wear.

    We've had shit piles of snow this month, and I've driven over 4,500 miles on them just in December alone and at least half of that was 100% snow covered. I am pleasantly surprised at how well they do in the snow! No problems, very confident traction in both dry powder and some slushy crap too. That's both on and off-road as well.

    LOL!

    The Destination LE2s my taco came with were hands down the worst tires I've ever had on any vehicle. Loud, stiff & uncomfortable, shit traction in ALL conditions. They may as well had been made from wood. Hell, the Taiwan-special Atturo AZ800 "Ultra High Performance" tires on my last SUV were 10x better in all conditions (including off-road).

    I'm at the shop right now getting the nittos out on as well!
    Yeah my firestone destinations got VERY noticeable loud after the 10k mark. Before that they were real quiet.

    ATW? like the falken wildpeaks?

    Winter doesn't matter I run Nokians in the winter. But I will consider them.
    Problem is I want to go with a 32" tire and anything 32+ is a E rated

    No Cooper Discoverer A/TW's. They are a more snow/ice oriented version of the A/T3's. They can be run year round, are winter rated, but are not recommended when ambient temps are above 95f.

    If you already have the dedicated winters maybe not for you. I was also considering the Falken Wildpeaks, but very happy with the Coopers.

    To each their own I guess? I was talking about the destination ATs which actually get pretty good ratings, everywhere I've checked online. Granted your LEs came stock on a new vehicle, what did you expect? Anyway, I'll stand behind the revo 2s and the destination ATs compared to any other AT tires.
    Ps you don't gotta be such a douche next time.

    Call me crazy but I like the stock GY tires on the OR model. They've been great for me.

    But that's mostly pavement with some 4x4 on the beach, fire roads, and slightly sketchy rutted out mountain roads.oh and the snow. They were great in the snow last year

    Another snowflake whose precious ego can't take a hint of civil disagreement. You mentioned Firestone Destination tires. I shared factual experience about Firestone Destination tires. And I was even polite about it. If you "meant" some specific A/T subset, but didn't care to share this little tidbit of information, don't be surprised when someone can't read your mind.

    I'm thrilled that you like your Destination A/Ts and Revo 2s. Internet high-five!

    Ps. The next time you feel I'm "being a douche," please call Firestone and see if they can collectively manufacture a set of balls for you so that you can call me a douche directly, without resorting to sorta-kinda-dislike-you-but-can't-openly-say-it, passive-aggressive, subliminal-hint bullshit. Here's an example: you sound like an insecure fool that needs a little more time in his safe space, lest - god forbid - someone "triggers" him on the scary internet. Yay tire threads.

    Okay sorry for assuming you read the whole post because OP definitely asked about the destination ATs. I don't expect anyone to read my mind but next time before assuming maybe you should get context clues. So hey as I said to each their own.

    Thanks for reaffirming my douche comment since it seems like I was not too far off. I don't dislike you just pointing out what I got a hint of.

    Yes they are a little bit noiser than the michelin but, they are not that noticeable. I love them the AT michelin are good if you don't do any off roading. also the cooper AT3's are not bad. they are quiet and have a good AT pattern.


    that being said, come to the bro side, bro. GO BRO, OR GO HOME

    Michelin and Bridgestone both make some great hwy choices. If you are a Costco member, look for a great deal from them.
