As above regarding standard size of 235/85/16.

I currently use Michelin latitude cross which is a good on road tyre and can cope reasonably well with off road use. 2004 Defender 90 Td5 CSW

I have been thinking of these, how do they compare tread depth wise with say the BFG or Continental?

Are proper winter rated with the snowflake?

Thanks

Everyone will recommend what they've been using, but after a short time I'd have no hesitation in recommending these for general use, mainly on road. The Kuhmo AT52 is very quiet on road, winter rated, reasonably priced and recently handled a greenlane trip to Wales very well. They may not be the best choice for deep mud, but no AT tyre is, and that's not why I bought them. A definite improvement over the original Continental AT tyres.

I would go for Continental Cross Contacts.
