I found when shopping for winter tyres, theres a load more choice at 19" or 18" than at 20" ...and cheaper too

the choice at 20" is getting better, but still limited to a couple of brands/models, which can be hard to get hold of cheers

Not through design, but they sell them on the website as good in snow.
As well as the off road ability.

Yes

All terrains are good tyres for most things. Kind of an all-season with a bit more off road grip in my opinion.

Cheers foxy. I had GG AT2's on a previous car, very impressed off road n in snow. I'd go for the AT's on the 20's if only they made them . Ian

Not being picky but I think you will find they are the new AT's not AT2's which are a completely different pattern.
I have the AT2's on a 90 and find them to be a better tyre than the Wintracs I have on the Range Rover in the current weather

I still desire a set of these babies they look just so good on an L322:

Cooper LTZ Zeon




http://www.4x4tyres.com say its the best allrounder.....

http://www.tyrespec.co.uk/products/?pattern=Zeon%20LTZ

The truly awesome Zeon LTZ all-terrain tyre incorporates many state-of-the-art features including the following...

Sweeping Lateral Grooves and Irregularly Shaped Tread Elements:
These tread elements are used to provide solid all terrain performance. The optimized pitch sequence helps provide even treadwear and reduced tread related noise.
Transverse and Circumferential Grooves:
Which both play their part in directing water away from the tread pattern to resist aquaplaning.
Ridged Tie Bars:
Ridgid tie bars provide increased lug stability by locking the lugs while also creating an entrenched siping advantage within the channelled area for enhanced steering and traction.
Shoulder lugs:
Alternately scalloped and offset lugs give improved traction on soft surfaces like sand and mud.
CAD:
Using variable pitched sequence creates a balanced pitch to reduce noise while maintaining M+S traction capabilities and extended tread life.
Full Depth Siped Elements:
Full depth sipe elements provide for increased traction while reducing heat build-up within those elements for balanced wear.
Special Venting Technology:
Special venting is incorporated in the mould design of the tread area and provides a crisp, clean, premium appearance.
Rubber Rim Protector:
The rubber rim protector extends beyond the rim flange and reduces the chance of rim damage that can occur if a tyre or wheel assembly scuffs a kerb.

Also COOPER STT's look nice:

And while we are on the subject of extreme tyres we must not leave out the:

Toyo M/T Open Country option:
