Yokohama Geolandar AT/S both on the T3 (215-65-16) and on the T4 (225-70-15). Like them a lot. They have sufficient traction to go offroad occasionally (are rated 60% street / 40% offroad) but are hardly louder on the road than street tyres are. Also look nice. Wouln't recommend them if you plan to be offroad most of the time though.
Cheers, André

I have HANKOOK RF10 DYNAPRO ATM HANKOOK RF 10 - 225/75R16 106T TL on mine. About £70 a corner but every bit as good as the BFGs at £107 a corner. Will buy them again. Got them from http://www.camskill.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Don't let the name put you off a lot of good reviews on these tyres. They do them in 205/80. 16" as well.

It's an Audi 4x4 rack. Want it. £40 that's what I paid for it. Never used which is why I am selling it have a trailer as well which is why the rack isn't used.

Yes. At2's on my garage pic. 255/65/16. I run kumho kl71's on my other 4x4. Their a good tyre as mt's go again the reviews will speak for themselves. If you are going one tyre type only at's are the way to go. I couldn't live with a mt buzz on long holiday hauls.

if you did not get stuck then you were not trying hard enough, had a set a the graber at2 and would recommend them.
