Interesting to watch.
Has made me think twice about moving away from HT just to cover my odd venture over a muddy patch, I tend to be more on road than off. I guess in real life the road performance of AT /MT is only going to be an issue if you drive "on the limit".
Very subjective and difficult to test, but nice drifting.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

On Tuesday I was retrieving some sheep from a field the track down to which is hard packed stone cobbles with a light cover of mud. Because of the vast amount of rain that we have had recently and having been down earlier in the day with a tractor there was a lot of very fine surface runoff slit and it had been churned up into a soup about 2 inches deep. Nasty slimy stuff. Anyway with a tonne of sheep and trailer on the back and trying to manoeuvre in close confinement I was finding that the bfg urban terrain was having issues with front cornering grip. Not stuck by a long shot but definitely making a meal of the situation, enough for my passenger to notice. However once I got pointing in the right direction off we go climbing back up to civilisation without a murmur. I think that if it were going to be a more regular event then I might consider a slightly more aggressive tyre but for once in a blue moon when I am manoeuvring a trailer in wet mud it's just not enough to justify the impact on road manners. Also without the trailer it would have been a none event.

A very interesting article that.

I'm sure I've seen him before, reviewing and comparing winter tyres V all-season tyres X 4x4 - and that was a real head turner.

Yep, he's a hardcore tyre geek. Did a good comparison between a 2wd and 4wd BMW Xsomething on winter and summer tyres on snow.

In the comments he mentioned that he's planning a SUV comparison of winter Vs A/T tyres on snow at some point. Would be really interested to see how much more effective a proper winter tyre is than a 3peaks marked A/T.

Ah - that's the one - a very revealing comparison

That will be another brilliant comparison of interest Im sure!
