Atacama is a damned good offroad tyre.  Not so good on the road.  It is a diamond pattern.

Machos are better behaved on the road and still good in the mud.

One of the probs with the Zook wheels is that they're all 15" unless you manage to fluke a set of 16s off ebay.

That means that if you want larger diameter tyres you're restricted to Colway MTs, Greenway Machos or more expensive tyres.

I've got a worn set of BFG Mud Terrains that'll last me the summer but will probably be supported with some Machos and a separate set of road tyres in the next few months.  Got the two sets of wheels already sorted, just need to get tyres on them!
