My newly purchased FL2 is being run on Goodyear Wrangler all weather tyres, they seem to be a good choice, quite on road surface, good in rain, not tried the m off road so can not comment.

Imho old technology tyres like General Grabbers and BF ATko have no place on a modern monoquoc vehicle. Sure they are fine for a low technology 4X4 like a defender that has a separate chassis.
For a modern AWD, you want a tyre that gives grip an all conditions. So you need to use something that's up to the job. My choice would be the Pirelli Scorpion ATR. These are quiet on the road and grip well, allowing the various traction systems to fully exploited.
Or if you're not so worried about road noise. The Yokohama Geolanders AT-S 012 will do everything the Pirelli Scorpion does, for slightly less money.
