Good comparison then, i see your 110 has BFG Muds and the other had BFG AT's (i think) if that is true any comments on performance in sand? I know the quality/strength has been covered many times before. Sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself

BFG's
Spot on.
The AT's are better in the sand due to less agressive treads and more flat contact area.
The TD5 with the AT's runs at 1 Bar but no TC makes it slightly difficult to compare.
The Muds however can get you dug out when you dig down to the slightly wetter sand if stuck.
I would say the difference is not too much, just the muds I guess are a little more versatile although hell of a noisy.
