    Thanks for that information, I’m about to buy some and so it’s valid for me. Currently the BT is sitting on 18” but I’m hoping to go to 16”/ 17” and buy some.

    I just picked up some Achilles desert hawks A/Ts and they are brilliant! Haven't affected gas mileage, low road noise and a bloody good price(cannot say much for the MT version). Came from Hankook dynamo A/Ts which were good on the road but not as good off road. Hyperdive had them at 40% off the other day but so huge saving. The Yokohama Geolander ATs were on sale too(quite aggressive looking)and from what I understand is that they are great tyres

    The Achilles M/T is one of the most scary tyres that I have ever driven on-I wouldn't even put them on the mother in law!

    Next time try your local tyre shop instead of buying offline , after all you have to keep your own local economy going and by buying offline isn't doing anyone any good.
    Hyperdrive is a crock of shit , they blow the retail pricing to bits and then go and offer 40% off which brings them back down to what your local would probably be charging. Not having a go just informing you how those guys work

    i work for a tyre wholesaler who deals in budget tyres if you ever need. hifly, supercats are budget. dont let firestone/bridgestone try convince you they are anything more than that. they dont even make them. its just their budget import. if you can afford coopers then do that all day every day. prob the best out there. deeper tread than the rest. i sell a ton of muds n AT n never had a complaint but they are budget so you get what you pay for

    cooper at3 xlt 20 inch. good solid tyre,no more flats on gravel, wearing good, quiet. just the ride is a bit hard, being a 10ply case or whatever it is and the size, to be expected, definitely buy again.
