Ran AT2 for a few years, fantastic tyre, best yet! Lasted ages,
Running AT on my old disco now as they were cheaper, still a good tyre.

But if I had to buy again I would go AT2 every time

Both quiet, slightly more on the AT, 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

I too would also say about 40000, they do last well up to a point then they seem to wear very quick,

I'm on BFG all terrains at the moment on the 90, not a patch on AT2s 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

In my experience AT2s lasted longer, but had very soft sidewalks. The AT drove better on road. There was not a lot of difference Offroad. Neither coped well in mud or snow. In the end I went for Goodyear duratrac and was very pleased. Just as quiet, good in snow and better in mud. 2.2 Tdci 110 XS CSW Corris Grey

Had at2 on my D3 and did what I needed, good tyre. Noisier tyre but not bad off-road. It's not a mud tyre but it certainly won't embarrass you. Last well.

I hated the AT always had them removed from day one of getting TD5's or early Tdci. Once you have driven with AT2 or bfg or Goodyear you will never want them again.

Never had g/grabbers before apart from the tr's it came on , which were just terrible to drive on

always had bfg 's mud now all terrians on 18 inch boasts , mine are as new but fancy a change

i like the look of the at , but think the at2 is the more modern maybe better tyre

not worried about how they last, would rather have a soft tyre that grips well

My understanding was that GGAT2s are the older design and the GGATs the more modern tyre? 2.2 Tdci 110 XS CSW Corris Grey

AT are the later pattern,

Some sizes in the AT2 were discontinued ....255/55/18 can even be tricky to find and that's a standard disco size

Which is why I ended up going for the new AT, at 25thou they are wearing very well, 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

anyone got or can confirm ?

general grabbers list a 275/65/18 AT

but can only find a 275/65/18 AT2

can find a 275/70/18 AT

I have a height issue that really needs a 275/65 the 275/70 might make a difference
