How did you find the Achilles? put a set on a mate and he reckons they are deadly in the wet

I liked the Achilles, awesome off road tyre. They lasted better than I thought they would. I do up to 70,000 kms a year, and the bulk of my higher kms are through winter actually, so roads can be slippery, icy, wet, snowy etc. But, I am running them on a Landcruiser which is full time four wheel drive which would make a big difference. They were loud on the highway (doesn't worry me) and you could feel a fair bit of vibration around town at slower speeds due to their chunkiness and squarer pattern.
