Following on from the snow thread, opinions please on the the best do-it-all AT tyre. No doubt this thread has been done dozens of times but tyres get updated rapidly.
For myself, I drive a mixture of on/off road. Summer off-roading is almost entirely shooting related which is fairly light duty. But in the winter my work requires me to commute on road every day then drive off-road to my work site across farmland that the owner does not want to see damaged. So I'm looking for an all-round AT tyre that will offer good road manners/noise levels/fuel economy on the tarmac all year round, and reasonable safety, (AT compromise accepted) with good levels of traction on winter grassland and stubbles without being so aggressive that they chew the ground up and get me into trouble with the landowner.
I have been running Grabber ATs and I've been very happy with them. They are quiet on the road, last well and have managed well off-road though they aren't that good at self-cleaning and clog rather easliy. But I thought they were pretty poor in the recent snow with middling traction and frightening braking, and TBH I've never been that happy with their straight line grip under braking in the wet at any time of year. So, what are the alternatives?
Can't buy the Grabber ATs any more. It's AT3s now.
I've been googling all night but I'm none the wiser. Do I go for the Grabber AT 3s? Otherwise I'm looking at Cooper or Toyo. Goodrich I've decided are too aggressive, expensive and noisy. Any ideas?
