The new sidewall patterning makes them look more aggressive, which adds to their appeal. I think it's the trand now, if you look at the Goodyear Wrangler MT it has nice sidewall detail. 2016 D4 HSE

At £200 a pop, I'm out. I'm looking to pay about £600 for a set of five. They may be good but they're not £1000 good.

Wonder if that price is correct? Same price as the old one? Good promotion if that's correct...

I went with the standard Continental tyres in the end. The agressive side wall was always available in the mud terrain, I think they've made a big of a mistake by carrying that over to the all-terrain tyre. If I wanted rugged side walls I'd have bought the muds. So I stuck with the standard tyres which have done me well so far.

I just got a set of these for £100 each! Was between these and cooper at3s. Chose these in the end due to the snowflake certification.

Will be getting them mounted next week when my blindos arrive.

£100 is cheap i just paid about £112 for old ones (although I prefer the more understated look of them)

I agree with previous comment, if I wanted side lugs, id buy a mud tyre

Where from, and what size please?

Look forward to hearing feedback on these, seriously tempted to try a set instead of KM2s but it could be an expensive experiment if they don't meet expectations.

They were 265 75 r16s. I guess I cheated as they were from a supplier that we use at the business given we purchased 10-20k gbp worth of tyres from them last year... So they weren't actual retail price... Embarassed
