Firestone Destination LE

[meliaant]

Hey folks...new here, as my wife just bought a 2005 Murano SL AWD (with only 22,000 miles on it)....absolutely LOVE the vehicle so far, but the OEM Goodyear tires are about stripped, and with a New England winter on the horizon, it's time to throw some new shoes on this bad boy...so my question is, do you think this tire, which has a bit more "teeth" than the OEM's would compromise the sporty driving of the Murano? I'm also looking at the Cooper CS4 Touring (more of a passenger tire) and the Cooper Discoverer CTS (much like the Destination LE) as options...I read on tirerack that someone with an X5 put the Destination LE's on it, and it completely killed the sporty aspect of the vehicle, and this is something I fear...any feedback would be great, thanks!
