I just noticed Tire Rack now has six all terrain tires listed for the OEM size of 235/65/R16. Has anyone used any of these on their Odyssey yet? I actually have the Firestone Destination AT on my Jeep Cherokee and has been happy with it. I know AT tires are heavier than all season tires by 3 to 5 lbs each so will probably decrease the MPG by a bit. We live in Colorado Springs, so about a handful time a year, snow tires will be useful. But mostly they're not needed and it's a hassle to swap them out twice a year and keep them somewhere. So the availability of these AT tires got me to think that next time we need to replace our Odyssey's tires, which is probably next year, we can get some AT tires which will perform much better than any all season tires in the snow, and cheaper to own than having two sets of tires. Just wonder if anyone had any of these AT tires on the Odyssey and how they like them.

I would be concerned that the ride quality and handling with AT tires would not be great due to high tread block, and that they would be pretty noisy. I just mounted a set of SUV tires - Pirelli Scorpion Verde - to the Odyssey and they are quiet and handle well. They were OE fitment to my wife's Audi SUV and we were pleased with them so I decided to get with a set for the van. I do agree that we should be looking at light truck / SUV tires in general because the van is really too heavy for a passenger car tire, and a lot of the rapid tire wear that is frequently complained about here is due to tires being run too close to their weight limit.
Why not consider a more sensible alternative like a well-rated All-Season tire with the Certified Snow rating (mountain and snowflake symbol on tire) like Goodyear Assurance Weatheready. Not a snow tire per se but considering the limited ground clearance of the van, you won't be needing a tire for heavy snow. Still, this tire and others with the symbol have demonstrated higher capability in the more usual moderate snow and ice that you're more likely to drive in.
Did you ever go for the AT tires? If so how’d they work out?

I am on a similar, "the next time we need tires" sort of a timeline.

Reviving an old thread. Have also been thinking of all terrain tires. More options available now from Tirerack such as Falken Wildpeak, etc.. I have Bridgestone DM-V2 for the Boston winters and they are great winter tires for the 10 days we need them 
The Michelin Crossclimate 2 maybe a one tire do it all as a nice all weather tire. I was also thinking of a lighter duty all terrain tires like the Geolander G015 or Firestone Destination A/T2. Anyone try the Nokian WR G4 SUV or Outpost APT? The Outpost APT seems promising
