235/85 16 Tire Review Highlights

Triangle AgileX AT TR292 rated 0% while driving a Mercedes Benz SsangYong Actyon 2.0xdi 4x4
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Bought them second hand for my SsangYong Actyon. Surprisingly trustworthy tires, I keep expecting them to break grip at some point, but they hold on. Good tread life in summer pavement driving, solid off-road, haven't had them hydroplane in rain yet. Haven't driven them in snow yet. Just ordered 2 more new, surprisingly cheap.

Avon Ranger rated 87% while driving a Land Rover Discovery Series 2 TD5
Driving on track for 2000 average miles
they are on an old discovery only used on the farm on the south downs. the 85s are for the extra ground clearance, remoulds are cheaper on the farm amongst the sharp flints, i get good grip in bad conditions of road. Good compromise between road and rough terrain.

General Grabber AT3 rated 77% while driving a Mercedes Benz W460 230GE G Wagon
Driving on mostly country roads for 13000 average miles
Great overall tire, obviously ATs are not the best at everything but I found this one to do quite good at almost everything. Only when things get extremely muddy they obviously arent that great.They are really good in fresh powdered snow but horrible on ice. I studded them to increase snow/ice performance which worked quite well. They have been wearing really little on my solid axle 1991 G-Wagon. I did absolutely rip one sidewall though. Would i buy them again? Probably not I think the Falken Wildpeak AT is a overall better especially Winter-Performance wise but these generals are way better than the bfg ko2s in the snow and wet, as they have much more siping.

GT Radial Adventuro AT rated 86% while driving a Toyota Landcruiser
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
I find GT Radial Adentro A/T 11 and GT Radial Adeventro A/T to be very good tire in Uganda. We have used it on landcrusires for over four years, it gives value for money.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 rated 93% while driving a Land Rover Defender
Driving on mostly country roads for 12000 easy going miles
I have has these on a Defender 110 TDCI for twelve months now, driving a mixture of country roads, motorways, field edges (shooting & fishing), plus snow in the alps (skiing). I've also done about 800 miles of towing a two ton sailing boat.
All in all that's a 12,000 varied workout, and I've nothing but praise for these Discoverer AT3 LT tires. A compliant, quiet ride with decent a steering feel. I've been buying and using all terrain tires for some 20 years now and these are my favourites. .

Michelin Latitude Cross rated 56% while driving a Land Rover Defender
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 miles
Replaced the 15 Yr old budget AT tires on my 90 with these 3 years ago. Really disappointed with these Michelins. They are only an improvement in terms of tire noise (quieter). In all other respects the same as the 15yr old Power guards, apart from body roll, which is sadly increased. Expected much much more from a premium new tire.

Goodyear Wrangler MT R rated 0% while driving a Land Rover Unknown
Driving on mostly country roads for 31000 average miles
Got them in 2015 and now 2021 they are needing a change. They are still road legal but the depth is no longer good enough for heavy mud. I have completed just over 30k miles. It's a farm vehicle that pulls a 3t horse muck tipper trailer into fields every week. It also goes down wet clay farm tracks which only the tractors go on. For 6 months of the year, the field is very wet. By winter, the field is trashed and with the muck pile being pushed around by a tractor, there are a few inches of water and horse wee on top of a few inches of sloppy mud and a lot of rutting from tractors and other vehicles dropping their muck off. It is a mud bath and it's on a hill. For almost 5 years, I have not had any trouble getting in or out of the muck field with the trailer. I have seen other vehicles struggle and get stuck. Some I have helped get out. I mention this as the trailer is a serious drag to pull through the slop yet these tires didn't let me down. That is until recently. I have had to disconnect the trailer on two occasions. Grip returned without it but had to winch the trailer instead. Most mud tires start to give up their mud grip after around 50% wear. These got to about 70% wear before I felt I was not getting the same grip. I could probably get another 10k road miles on them but the mud grip is now on par with an AT rather than an MT tire. Other characteristics are the tire is not that good when new. Fine in the mud and on dry road in the wet, for the first 3000 odd miles they lack grip but that does come good later. Indeed, initially, I thought of changing them early. However, it was early spring the weather soon improved and I decided to wait. Come Autumn with a few thousand more miles on them, the wet grip was much improved. I have experienced that with other tires where a mm or two of wear and the road grip improves. Road noise is typical of mud tires. They sing quite loudly in the wet but no more than other mud tires. Lastly, snow grip. Really fantastic. We use the defender as an emergency support vehicle during snow taking staff to the hospital and carrying things back and forth to those snowed in. It didn't let me down once. I considered paying more and going with BFG KM3s. I would probably get an extra 20k miles out of those but they cost a third more. Plus, with the mileage it does, I would be more concerned about the age of the tire than the grip. So, I am getting a new set of the same tires.

BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO2 rated 58% while driving a Land Rover Defender

BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO2 rated 72% while driving a Land Rover Defender
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 average miles
Grip really well in the dry. Wet braking is a problem. They lock up at the slightest braking pressure. Good grip in mud and snow but braking problems are there again. In snow they lock up as soon as the brakes are applied. For braking in wet or snowy conditions they are the worst tires I have had. Only done 5000 miles but intend to replace them.

Insa Turbo Sahara rated 46% while driving a Land Rover Defender
Driving on mostly country roads for 100 average miles
Fitted to rear wheels of 110 Land Rover. Impressive, chunky, deep tread. But these M+S tires cause vehicle to wander badly at any speed over 45mph. One is concerned that it could it could over turn! Real loss of feeling. Dangerously bad lateral grip. After 50 miles no longer feel safe and am returning to dealer to have better known make fitted. Really annoyed.
