BF Goodrich are superb.

Good on road and off-road and last what seems like >forever .. ;) I agree, Though personally I like the Michelin XZY myself, depends on where you drive it. I like deestones for when I'm heading to a muddy location as I often need to do. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

Won't these be a bit more slippy going round corners/roundabouts with a bit of power to the back wheels? >>>huLLy vaguely muttered something like ... >>>> The road tyres on my Daewoo Musso need changing soon, I'd like to [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >Won't these be a bit more slippy going round corners/roundabouts with a bit >of power to the back wheels? AT's are usually 50/50 and quite respectable on-road and mild off-road, though if you are always on-road then use a road-pattern tyre as it'll grip better and last longer. Regards.

Ah yes, but half the reason for choosing the Goodrich's is they look good ;) huLLy vaguely muttered something like ... >> AT's are usually 50/50 and quite respectable on-road and mild >> off-road, though if you are always on-road then use a road-pattern >> tyre as it'll grip better and last longer. > > Ah yes, but half the reason for choosing the Goodrich's is they look good > ;) If it's pure road performance you're after then AT's will disappoint you. If it's pure off-road performance you're after then AT's will disappoint you. If it's a mixture of driving you do then AT's are a most excellent compromise. Sure the back end will break away on dirt or road, but so what? Don't drive like a tosser and they won't. If you want to drive like a tosser then get a set of road wheels/tyres and a set of off-road wheels/tyres ... If you just want to look like a poseur then who cares what you put on ... or what it costs.
