    Tried out my new AT tires and they were brilliant - Cooper Discoverer AT3 in 275/55-20.


    Were your LR fitted tyres 255/55/R20's? If so, have you had any issue with fouling on full lock with the 275's ?

    Looking at Wrangler Duratrac's for when my Scorpions need replacing. used these on my D4 (9" though) and they were by far the best tyre I ever used.

    Yep, mine came with the Goodyear Eagle F1 AT 4x4 SUV in 255/55-20 which contained two lies right in their name. Great road tire, but not suited to off-roading on anything other than gravel or slickrock, which is basically pavement.

    No rubbing or any kind of suspension issues, but I didn't really test the full range of motion on this trip.

    I looked at the DuraTracs, but they're expensive and I think that's more tire than I need...we'll see. I think @AndrewS runs them daily.

    It rides quite nicely on the Coopers.

    Thanks.

    Yes Andrew is a big fan of the Duratrac's. I ran two sets on my D4 as dailies and they were great,

    Was out and about today. Been cold enough to freeze the Ottawa River solid so the ice fishing shacks are starting to appear

    This may be the first D5 to walk on water (well ice anyway) over here in 2018
