Are AT2's still the only 18" off-road tyre option?

Are AT2's still the only 18" off-road tyre option?

As the subject line says, are AT2's still the only 18" off-road tyre option at the moment or have any more come along?

My standard scorpions are on their last legs, and having been embarrassed during the winter on some particularly nasty 'green ice' which smeared them straight off it is time to put on some boots more in keeping with the vehicle.

Any recommendations?

Cheers,

Rich

There are few other AT style tyres available including these.
ContiCrossContact AT - They look interesting. 06 TDV6 SE with many LR and after-market extras. Used only on weekends and trips out west.
Audi TT Roadster (Daily and around town drive)
VW Eos TDI For Sale
Previously 01 TD5 and 94 TDI

Love my continental AT's - very happy with them, second best in mud only to MTR's (apparently) however, my understanding is they are not available in Britain, do not understand why, but there you go. <*(((<<

I liked the look of the continentals when I saw a picture on the web but as you said they seem thin on the ground in the UK.

Anyway the issue is sorted as I am picking up a set of AT2's from Ken tomorrow. Thumbs Up

Cheers,

Rich

A bit late, but did you check out the 18" Cooper Zeon LTZ's?

[ask Ken about them]

Wow, they look cool!

But like you say, it is a bit late to mess Ken about now!

Maybe next time.

To make you feel better, they're not in the UK yet.

Myself [and another gent] have a set coming in from the US in the next couple of weeks.
The first bods to have them here!!
They'll be in general release in the UK shortly. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Ah well, looked too good to be true!!

You will have to post a report after you give them a twirl.

Incidentally, what are you using at the moment?

Confused

I'm on 20's with Grabber UHP's.
Was swapping with 19's with MTR's for off road use.
So with the 20" LTZ's it'll be the One wheel-One Tyre combo I'm looking for.

Got the AT2's from Ken & fitted over the weekend.

Very pleased with them, steering feels a bit lighter and you notice a bit of tyre drone when coasting on certain road surfaces. Cannot wait to try them off-road.
