Going for the Grabbers as they don't do BFG's in my size. Plus I like the look of them, the tread pattern doesn't scream "mud plugger", they supposedly are slightly more aggresive than BFG AT's. Got TOYO Open Country AT's on at moment, only got about 4mm tread left!

What have the toyo's been like? I was looking at those, the grabber at's and some Yokohama geolander's before I bought the bfg's, I only went a little bigger than standard, wish I had gone bigger now.

My first T2 had four odd tyres when bought, fronts nearly bald. Changed fronts for Toyo AT's. Always went where I needed. I'm not a serious mud-plugger like some...

...it goes off-road in the shooting season, does a bit when wife uses it to drag 2 tonne of hay about. Where we live, road outside ices first in the area, and we always catch about 2" of snow more than anyone else.

New T2 came in March with four very low Toyo's, but hasn't needed to do anything off-road yet. Toyo's have a good rep, as do Grabbers and BFG's
