Best tire for snow/ice/mud on oem rims
I want to replace the Rugged Trails on my '08 FX4 with a more aggressive tire for the winter. I live in Saskatchewan and need to drive 20 miles to and from my shop every day on snow, ice, gravel and mud (sometimes all in the same day). I've searched this site for suggestions but it seems everyone wants bigger tires and aftermarket wheels. I figure while I'm at it I might as well buy a tire that looks cool too...

I"m looking forward to get some advices and opinions regarding tire exchange for my original 18"
THX!

I like the Terra Grapplers as well so I am hoping someone here with experience in the snow with either tire can offer some insight...

Wow, you want your cake and you want to eat it too??? There is no "best" tire for all of those conditions. You're going to have to get a tire that's 'pretty good' in all of those conditions or great in one or the other. For that bill, just about any modern all terrain tire is going to do very, very well. I'd find the most agressive one I could get. Nitto Terra Grappler, Mickey Thompson ATZ, BFG A/T, etc, etc. Pick the one you like the looks of the best and it will by all accounts do the job.

Firestone Destination A/T's are great in wet grass, mud, snow, and gravel (get LT's if you're in gravel a lot) They aren't too expensive, quite for an A/T, and last well. In my humble opinion the look good too.
Oh yeah...they do fine on dry pavement as well.

I'll go for DESTINATION A/T
I like the price and tread, the only thing i dont like - white letters , but i think they can be flipped
Do you know if i can put Destination M/T' s on my stock 18' weels?

According to their website they only make one size Destination M/T in 18" diameter...and it's a whopper.

DON'T buy an AT tire to give you winter traction. Buy a snow tire. The rubber compound of a snow will give you far better grip on ice and hardpack than an AT will. AT tires get hard when they are cold and don't provide an advantage on ice.
Please give me a call to discuss if you'd like. I can ship up there as well.
