These tires are excellent. Living in the highlands of Scotland they deal with everything from dry roads to mud, ice and snow. They make such a difference to the 4 wheel drive capabilities of my vehicle and especially in snow. I would recommend these to anyone thinking of purchasing them.
Cons - you do compromise on noise and fuel consumption but not enough to make a vast difference. Peace of mind makes up for any of these concerns.

I moved 2x Foresters and an Outback onto Geolanders GO12 tread because they are suv tires with excellent sidewall protection on our unsealed roads. I do full motorway, country farm offroad river and beach driving. These tires are well rated for my level of all round daily use and I have never had a problem with them. They complement the symmetrical awd of these vehicles I find I can go where other awd/4wd vehicles get stuck.

I have several hundred thousand miles of UK driving, with a lot of off road experience. I've used most of the all terrain tires out there.( having worked in agriculture and for a major power utility ) I have used snow chains for extreme conditions in years gone by. ( nothing beats them once you get the darn things on ) We've just had another big freeze in the UK leaving very wet snow in the aftermath. I have needed to get my wife to the local hospital where she works. In the last few days these tires have made it through every journey without resorting to the snow chains.That has included wading through fresh snow drifts two feet deep, ice, wet snow and slush.They appear to be wearing well after 20k miles, perform well on normal road driving and are good on mixed conditions and soil types off road. I was amazed at how much better they have been in the snow than my previous all terrains. I have literally been running rings round other 4x4,s, some on mud tires, and seen many road tire clad AWD's abandoned. All that without the chains. Definitely will buy again, especially as they are good for what we drive on normally, ie just good ol, wet uk roads.

Dry handling and dry breaking is very good. Wet handling is good but pay attention in the middle of corner to the understeer. Wet breaking is good but with the first drop of rain you have to pay a lot of attention. The wear is fantastic. I have done 90.000km and I think to do another 20.000km. In off road you can do anything..incredible tires..shoulder very solid. But when the temperature goes under 2 celsius degree you have to drive very very quiet, especially with the snow, because the polimers of tires soffers a lot the low temperatures.
