Rich, do you really need to say.... "or you must be insane"

Hasn't that been proven, on MULTIPLE accounts, already.
Well we're still waiting on the official diagnosis

I have to say FIRESTONE DESTINATION AT also, great tire. I had them on my 01 quad cab and they were great.

If you want real world fead back, check out the Tire Rack site. You can see the survey results and also compare all your choices. They even have how many miles driven on the survey comps so you can see a proven vs new tire.

note the Destination ATs are #2 w over 3.4 million miles.

i have Cooper Discoverer ASTs on my truck, and my dad has them on his and neither truck has ever gotten stuck or had problems, cheap like 80 a tire regular price sure you could find them on sale for less(we pay 85 or 90 a piece mounted, but we know the guy that owns the shop) awesome in the snow, have only need 4wd once this year and that was on my own icy driveway(should not have parked in the back at the bottom of the hill), but even on ice they pulled right up w/o any trouble so good luck thats my recomendation

Just wanted to post an update of my General Grabber AT2's on my 4x2 Dak. The last couple of weeks its been pretty cold, like in the teens and with some snow. I have found with a little bit of (salted) water of the road and the very cold rubber compound, these tires are slippery. Hard not to fishtail from traffic lights etc...I think these tires get hard in the cold and cause it not to grip too well. In the snow it seems to work well, just "poorly" in the other conditions mentioned earlier.
