Thanks Guys!

Captain, I haven't looked at the BFG AT because to my mind they are very expensive and always seem to be at the centre of much debate so I left them off my list because they seem to attract argument rather than input. Plus, I just don't think I could afford a new set.

Cupboard, thanks for that, have also found out the XZL's are incredibly heavy tyres which if tied to a wolf rim worries me a bit about having that much weight on the bonnet.

Thanks David I think thats made my mind up

K9F Better the devil you know!

Thinking about it I have recommended my GGAT2's to so many people now based on my own experience I'd be a bit hypocritical to change so will do some shopping in the next few days.

Possibly silly question, as its my fronts that are warn out, do I put new tyers on the rear then move the rears forward?

Always have the tyres with the best grip on the rear. Understeer is far easier to control than oversteer, with a vehicle with a high centre of gravity such as the Defender you don't want oversteer. I'm a great advocate of the AT2 but for a change fitted Cooper STT. Surprisingly they've good grip even in the wet and were quieter than the GG.  I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
