I spend a fair bit of time in muddy fields, plus, any snow and we are isolated, so rather than winter wheels and tyres, I went for AT "winter" wheels and rims :-) (same as I did on my D3) . Get's all the blue-rinse brigade in their Yetis looking bewildered.

16" alloys £300, Insa Turbo ATs £240.

Height change after (left side only)



Done:



Get a very small amount of contact on one side only - front, inner plastic arch liner on full lock. Shouldn't touch after a few 1000 miles.

As a bonus, the speedo is now bang on :-)

BG Goodrich are worth a look for all terrains. I have a golf equipped with haldex and also a Jeep. Have you considered some green laning?

I like the spray on mud too, that's a nice touch.

I had a set of BFG AT's and I was very pleased with their grip and noise level although they wore a bit quickly. Right now I'm running Cooper AT3's. Handling and ride are fine for an aggressive all-terrain tire. Mud traction is good though I haven't tried these cooper tires in the snow.

That's surprising - the BFG AT's on my old Land Cruiser amazingly have over 100k miles on them and have still got a reasonable amount of tread left.
