    These are great. Wearing well, grippy in all terrain and strong walls.

    Recommended from Brad (Mad Maori) on here (Bay Tyres). Great to deal with but a bit distant from you.

    I had the Cooper ST and agree with Ryan that they were slippery in the wet. I thought that the latest model of them had fixed that, but it sounds not.

    Be interested to hear how well they last.
    It looks like the lugs have been cut to grip on ice,does the sidewall display the letters M/S (mud and snow) anywhere?

    BFG did the same with their AT and Mud Terrain tyres over here in Norway,they wore out quite a bit faster as the cuts in the lugs are designed to squash the lug into the road surface and the edges of the cuts to grip the ice.

    I'm running these on my hilux. Good on the road and gravel, but I found on muddy farm tracks they fill with mud and turn into slicks. Lower pressure probably would have helped but I didn't have a pump so only lowered pressure a little bit. Also had a flat tyre one day and by the time I stopped the sidewall was stuffed and 2 tyre shops said the the same. Found a lot of reviews that back up the soft sidewall issue too.
