from my limited experience AT's clog very quickly in the gooey stuff

I've got Colway AT's on mine, Mercus has BF AT's on his, both seemed to suffer the same

I'll be putting MT's on mine when the time comes (if it hasn't sold)

I've got colway ATs as well. I haven't done much off roading, but they were fairly capable last summer greenlaning along Sarn Helen (relatively dry and prettz rocky). BUT...

To be honest I'll be buying a proper set of tyres rather than remoulds next time. I lost one sidewall on that trip, and another sidewall now has a small rip (seemingly just from kerbing and stuff). I've also had 2 punctures repaired. They don't look as cheap or as good when you keep having to get new ones couriered from Leeds at 50 quid a pop and spend most of the time with your prop out as you're running mismatched tyres...
Now rusting away even quicker by the seaside ;-)

I have colway m/t, i am not impressed with anything apart from price. The wear rate is alarming, they seem to cut easy and they are hopeless in mud.

I had Goodyear wrangler ATs, now mines permanently on BFG MTs. I've spent a lot of money on rubber this year and should have put MTs on straight away.
I do 80 road 20 off road.

Or in PC52's case he still got them and didnt pay much!!!!! :shock:

My Guyanes are brill in the goo, but bloomin noisy on the road so looking at BFG AT's or poss the BFG MTs' as a compromise... to run all the time...
