Hi,
I am having trouble comparing tires from different categories.
Can somebody compare the following tires based on his/her own experience:
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM
Firestone Destination M/T
Some on-road comparison can be found here, but not to BFG all-terrain:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORAT&VT=null&sortValue=3
The size will be 31x10.5x15.
My first priority is to get safely to Sierras during winter time, that is driving on ice, packed snow, slush, water.
Second priority are infrequent wheeling trips - 10 miles higway for 1 mile offroad.
On one hand, All-terrain BFG are marked as snow tires and supposed to be the best for me, but some say they perform poorly on wet road. Looking at the thread pattern, it's quite possible.
If somebody can compare wet and ice behaviour of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO and Firestone Destination M/T, your comments would be very valuable.
I am also eager to know how Firestone Destination M/T performs on ice. Does anybode drive on these tires in winter ?
I better buy something before the weekend.
Thank you,
Andrey
