MT's are bobbins compaired to AT's and agressive road bias tyres (just google snow tyres and look at the tread patterns if you don't belive me)

Indeed. My 90 on Kumho KL71's slides around all over the place. Great fun though, once you unclench after the first big slide  :lol:

The Freelander on BFG AT's is simply awesome.

dxmedia:
For some stupid reason I swapped the bfg at copies over for the simex a couple of days ago. Gone from awesome grip to f all and sliding all over the place  :rolleyes:  Too bloody cold to swap em back...

Disco Matt:
I know from experience that BFG A/Ts are pretty much the best all round tyre you'll find anywhere. Really wish I hadn't swapped to Insa Dakars, although the extra grip in mud is handy on occasion.

I'm reliably informed that you want A/Ts on a Freelander as M/Ts will confuse the traction control

landy_bug:
freelander is great and good fun in the snow, i got AT2's on mine. have been stuck once but that was me being cocky as i had only got it stuck once before in deep mud. :doh: great all rounder if you know how the HDC and TC work otherwise you will get stuck fast i have seen a few freelanders struggling in the icy conditions but that was down to driver :lol:
quiet roads, snow and a bit of throttle and the freelander is very controlable sideways :D :D

andyhubbard:
So good i was asked to use it for work transporting doctors about out of hours and i'm AT2s at the minute,mind i'm thinking of going upto 205/80x16?.
