I am biased but 255/85/R16 KM2.

Not heard anything bad about Coopers but KM2's are very popular.

There is a KM3 coming I believe but not available at the moment.

The ATR is very good also, but for me I like the MTR. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

I find my BFG AT perfect for my use, I've had cooper and BFG MT too.

I don't think you can tell much difference if I'm honest unless you put them back to back testing in a wet field.

noisiest I had were the Cooper STT Pro

Do you not find the AT's better in the winter than the MTs?
I stopped using the KM2s in the snow and ICE as they were too skittish, the KO2s (AT) are winter rated and I find handle normal winter conditions much better.

BFG AT for 'summer' use & Michelin XZL for wet muddy winter use. If we get snow then the BFG ATs will go back on. Thumbs Up

+1 for the XZLs in the mud.
I remember recovering a 110 td5 with a large 'event' box trailer on up a steep muddy hill a few years back with my Camel 110 on xzls
Went back down and then pulled an Army Bedford 4x4 up the same hill as it was also stuck Smile

I like Coopers. Had the STTs on my 90, great off road and not bad at all on road. Got the STT Pros on my 110 now fantastic off road, little noisey above 60 but not horrible. I do like that their tyres are kevlar reinforced
