Initial tread depth is 11-12mm - I have of course this morning lost my depth gauge, but was measured with a steel ruler.

Thanks for the tread depth info. That’s deep!

First offroad outing today. Everything was great. Ground on site was very waterlogged, but at no point was there any indication of getting stuck. Defo less sliding about compared to the old road tyres. Much more confident crossing the ground having a bit more shoulder to protect the alloys and not as concerned about picking up punctures.

In snow, they are very good - due to the tread depth - on ice you would be better with dedicated winter tyres - Vredestein Wintracks or similar.

The snow in question was only a little, so as you say, essentially just ice with the traffic compressing it.

In the bit of snow we have had the GG AT's have coped with it fine, I had Vredestein on my Disco 3 before moving over to the MT/Rs and they are a good tyre but as stated in ice with a 3 ton 4x4 no tyre is going to stop you that quick, studded tyres are the best option but I don't think we really need them in the UK at the minute, maybe in ten years time if the global warming thing is to be believed. Most people just need to learn how to drive to the conditions and the problem with modern cars is you feel so disconnected unlike a Series 1 where you can feel the speed and road surface you are traveling on. |
