The Colway tyres website mentioned above clarifies it all.  

Basically there are four different types in the 4x4 range under the heading C-Trax MT (Mud Terrain),  AT (All Terrain), what was called Formula C-Trax and now seems to be called C-Trax Sport, which is their diamond pattern off road competition tyre (similar to products from Bronco, Max Sport, Black Star etc.) and a new road biased tyre.

I have some competition experience of both the MT and C-Trax sport and have heard only positive stuff about people who compete on ATs.  I rate them as good tyres.

BFG A/t's will cope with most situations, they will last you for over 50,000 miles i have had reports of up to 70,000 miles they work well on the road with little to no noise and there only £95 per corner.

In that vein, I have Goodyear Wrangler AT/Rs on my road going Discovery and they have been superb.

I have done 40,000+ and there is still much life left in them.  I have used them hard off road and hard on road and they have always responded.

I personally think that they are better on dry tarmac than BFG ATs, and as good in the rough stuff, but not quite as good on wet tarmac.

I think they come in a bit cheaper than BFGs too!
