BF Goodrich are superb. Good on road and off-road and last what seems like
forever ..

My local cheapy tyre company can do BA Goodrich AT's for 107 quid all in,
seems reasonable..?

Won't these be a bit more slippy going round corners/roundabouts with a bit
of power to the back wheels?

Ah yes, but half the reason for choosing the Goodrich's is they look good

If it's pure road performance you're after then AT's will disappoint you.

If it's pure off-road performance you're after then AT's will disappoint
you.

If it's a mixture of driving you do then AT's are a most excellent
compromise. Sure the back end will break away on dirt or road, but so what?
Don't drive like a tosser and they won't. If you want to drive like a
tosser then get a set of road wheels/tyres and a set of off-road
wheels/tyres ...

If you just want to look like a poseur then who cares what you put on ... or
what it costs.

It's the Goyt Valley, Derbyshire ..

South West ish of Buxton, on (off) the A64 IIRC.

It's a horrible place, you don't want to come here^W^W go there. Honest,
