If it's of interest to anybody, I have two GG AT3's surplus to requirements. They're a couple of years old but have covered only a few hundred miles as they've been fitted to a Sankey trailer. This is the best picture that I have immediately to hand but I can add something more detailed tomorrow:

They're still on the trailer at the moment but are due to be swapped for something different at the weekend.

The wheels are standard Boosts but were refurbished and painted Orkney grey at the same time as the tyres were fitted, around June 2022. Darren

The new Yokohama X-AT looks like a promising tyre to me. Available in 235/85, well priced and more aggressive than most ATs.


I’ve got a set of these on my wolf wheels and had a set on my previous boosts and they’re very good.

That's good to know, I'm going to need a new set next year and these are top of my list at the moment.

Also, any photos of them in real life? I've only seen the fake cgi pics that Yokohama issue. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I had been looking myself at a set of Kumho Road Venture AT52s as apparently they are a 3 ply sidewall but also have the 3PMSF for winter if we ever get proper winters here in the UK 110 Td5 Ex Utilities slowly converting into a pop top camper one day

Not seen the Kumho ones before. Look good with a high numbers of sipes.

Hi

I must admit to being a pleb and liking Conti Cross Contacts..

Yes, I know that they are road biased but as 85% of my driving is on road they do everything I expect of them. Excellent in the dry, good in the wet, good in the snow and perform reasonably off road.

Nothing at all wrong with Cross Contacts. Mine have been to Morocco twice, across the Pyrenees without fault. They are very good in the wet, better than most and decent in snow. I'm only replacing them because they'll be 10 years old shortly. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Michelin latitude cross, good in all conditions bar extreme off road situations, not that is a problem for me but I was impressed how they performed on an off road driving day I did with very steep loose surfaced inclines.

A very understated looking tyre that looks narrow so not great if you want a chunky ruffty tufty look but I don't so fine for me Smile 2004 Defender 90 Td5 CSW

Quick update, I have had the 2 Davanti Terratoura's on the front of the landy for a month now and I am pretty impressed. Quiet and seem to have plenty of grip.
I have done a couple of long trips (all on road) and have performed nicely. It will be interesting to see if they still have good grip on cold wet roads as we move into winter. 2015 Puma 2.2 XS Utility Station Wagon - 2024 - Present

I'm in the same position, my MOT has had advisories for 2 years now on cracking, but 11 years isn't bad for a set of tyres. Its local runs for me and only about 3k a year so hung on. I've just started checking threads for options/advice as I'd better replace them

I spoke to the Land Rover engineer who signed off Latitude Cross for Defender after extensive testing at Michelin’s Clermont Ferrand facility- he was impressed

My daughter has Davanti Terratoura 235/85/16 on her 90 300 tdi. This is her second set. She tows a horse box so is in and out of fields and muddy places. It is her everyday car so she goes to work in it. I chose these tyres as they have the three peak symbol. She has been out in snow and had no bother.
The other brands are good but like I said I chose these as they have the three peak snow symbol.
I have posted about these tyres before and put up photos. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Spud fan how many miles did your daughter get out of the Davantis? I hear some people only get 20k miles which isn't the end of the world but just curious 110 Td5 Ex Utilities slowly converting into a pop top camper one day
