AT tyre advice - 17" Rims

Post by spiderbaby » Tue Apr 28, 2015 5:05 pm

I've amassed an extra set of 17" rims and I've decided to treat them (and me...) to a new set of AT tyres.

A few of you have seen my driving style - although pretty bad I like to venture off road occasionally.

I currently run BFG AT in 265/70R17 and have been happy with them but browsing the net my head is now spinning over options.

I've 'narrowed' it down to these:

Grabber AT
Cooper AT/3
Maxxis AT771
BFG AT

Anyone got any comments / experience of the first three?

Cheers :thumbright:

The best tyre is the BFG.
The all round value tyre is the Cooper.
