Lanvigator Catchfors AT

I need to replace all four tyres on my 90 TD5 and have been looking at options.

I mainly do on road driving with light recovery duties a couple of times a year and some camping, tbh it’s mainly used for hauling tools and furniture around. Currently it has a combination of BFG AT KOs and Cooper Discovery STT Pros in 235/ 85 R16s. Having spoken to a local tyre supplier and asked them what might be a good slightly more Road biased option they have suggested lanvigator catchfors AT, which are just under half the price of BFGs.

Does anyone have any experience of Lanvigator Catchfors? I appreciate the the best option is to spend the money and get BFGs but buying four of them at the moment is a little rich for me sadly.

Thanks, Ben

Have a look at Comforser Cf1100.

BF look and under half the price. I rated them well when I was on standard size.

I know you are looking for feedback from someone who has used them, I haven't.... They're just a cheap chinese brand, bottom of the pile along with many others currently flooding the market. Unless you can find somebody unbiased to say they are great, I'd look for something else. That particular tyre may, or may not be passable, but it certainly wont rival the top, probably not even mid-tier brands in terms of quality. You don't have to spend a lot more to get something like a Toyo Open Country, which is at least an established brand with a proper presence in the market. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

^ Exactly what Bluest said.
I'm looking for a new set myself, there are plenty of affordable options from known established brands.
Yokohama, Kumho, Falken and Toyo all sound preferable to a budget unknown.

Latest generation tyres with 3PMSF winter rating. So new that there may not be many reviews online,

Not sure why everyone obsesses over BFG. Nothing wrong with them, but there are plenty of other good and well known brands that are much cheaper.

At the end of the day, tyres are the only physical contact between vehicle and road. I never understand why people would want to penny pinch and scrimp on tyres just to buy cheap crappy ones.

When you say you are after more road biased, more than the SST Pro (which is an MT) or more than the BFG KO (which is an AT)?

If you want something like the BFG KO2, then I'd suggest the Maxxis AT980 Wormdrive. I have these on a couple of vehicles and they are easily as good as the BFG, but a lot cheaper.

A less aggressive and more road biased AT option would be something like the Falken Wildpeak:

If they are still too pricey for you, may I suggest one of these:

These have had good feedback on this forum:

I haven't used them yet but might be up for them when my General Grabber AT3s wear out.
