AT or MT for snow

[Lefty Two Drams]

I know a few "competitive" offroad guys and many think AT's are better for snow than MT.

The rationale being that the blocks can move more, keeping them warmer and clearer...

I'm not really convinced but I know that MT treads fill with snow pretty quickly! The side lugs on the kl71 seem to help clawing through deep soft snow.

Anyone got an opinion?

Thanks chaps.

Picking up the wifes new Disco II this afternoon and it's on mismatched remould road tyres

Andy, I'll get a quote from you for 5x AT2's once I know what size I need...

Sorry chaps, found some this afternoon.

And Tawse tyres in Inverurie have 4 of the 245x70 in stock if anyone's desperate. You'll need to be though, they want a fking arm and a leg for them!

Update:

Got 5x of the 245x70r16's at £108 fitted inc. VAT. Having driven the wifes disco on the first frosty morning I just had to get the new tyres on ASAP.

We've had temps of -13 since then and about 6 inches of snow. My farm track is very difficult to walk on, it's like polished glass

The AT2's I'm glad to say have been superb. Good dry road grip too.

Shame the guys at the local tyre place fitted them white-side out though, look a bit tacky but it's not the end of the world I 'spose...

Great tyres, would certainly recommend them. I got spanked a bit on the price I think.
