Hi everyone. I've been registered for quite a while but only to view the forums.
As winter is nearing I decided to do my first post.
Having read some post on tyres I'm still not sure which ones to get. Which would be best for winter and all year round use,
winter tyres or AT tyres and what make. I not really a off road driver but like some decent looking ones as well.

Thank you for reading.

P.s. I'll be posting pics of my jimny soon.

If you don't plan to off road then proper winter tyres are best for icy roads for the winter and normal summer tyres for the rest of the year. All terrains will increase fuel consumption. There is no tyre that is suited 100% to all conditions.

on the wife's old Rav4 we had Dunlop Grandtrek all season tyres and went through a couple of very bad icy snowy winters and never had any probs at all

for what you're looking for these look pretty good, and they're standard size, so less chance of developing the "wobble" from using 205-75-15 AT's

Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 205/70 R15 95Q

Bfgoodrich AT's any day,
For road, off road, snow, ice, and looks, with white writing, it looks good

And they are superb for wear, after 3 years of use, every single day, I've still got 8mm backs and 10mm
On the front tyres
Which is probably more than a road tyre from new
