Go for it, you know you want a full set of 4 new STT Pro all round. Job done, sorted, forget it for the next 10 years.
Keep the 1 old STT as a spare. |

Hmm so I was in a similar situation to you Danny a few years back, where I felt I could sacrifice on road for off road ability regarding the tyre choice.
I went for a the BFG KM2, and was initially happy with the choice - they look great and have been solid off road. However as time as gone on, my tolerance for their noise on road has declined, to the point where I am contemplating if all-terrain would have been the better choice. At the end of the day, I do spend I guess > 90% of my time on road, so not exactly the expected profile of a mud-terrain tyre user Just my two-pennies. 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

Without wanting to start a whole new tyre debate
I did find my BFG MTR's a little noisy but the Wrangler MTR's less so - but I do only relatively few miles My main point though is that you may only do 10% off road, but when you do you may want mud tyres not all terrains. MTR's do look good but that's not to say the BFG ATR's don't look great. I love my Cooper AT3's on the road, but they do look very road biased tbh Here we go again Rob 1993 200tdi 90 hard-top 1998 300tdi 90 soft-top 2016 2.2 XS 90 hard-top (sold) |

The Heritage has Goodyear Wrangler MTRs on and the road noise (above all other noise) is fine. I’ve done a couple of trips to France and it hasn’t been a drama, although I am Captain Slow when I drive a Defender, 65-70 max. On the mileage you indicate I’d go for an off-road biased tyre.

I have decided to go for the STT's. It is likely I will be on my own when I am going off road, and I really don't wanna get stuck because of the wrong tyres. I can live with road noise, after all with 23 years of driving military vehicles my 110 is whisper quiet compared to them.
So to start a new debate, white lettering inside or out? |
