Awesome tires. Initially for the first 100 miles, they felt very jelly like, however this settled and 30k miles later I am considering another set. They often get used green laning from soft mud around fields to rocky hill climbs in the lake district. The only time getting stuck in deep soft mud where I had to air down. Which is something they're very good for. I have aired down to around 12psi and it had no issues.
When on road, I run them around 34psi for the country roads and frequently enjoy a little spirited drive to astounding results. Chances are, the regular driver would bottle it before the tires give way on tarmac.
With relatively good feedback I feel confident knowing what the car is doing under me.
For longer journeys, I've aired up to around 45psi and have been excellent for motorway blasts. Having a higher speed rating than most A/T tires is a huge bonus.
Due to a poor show of snow the past two years, they haven't had a long chance in deep snow, but they performed very well in what I could find. Testing on a particularly icy single lane steep hill (which proved too much for many others based on holes through the hedges) where it confidently controlled the 2 tonnes down the slope happily.
I've now done around 30k miles and after rotating wheels fairly consistently, they will be coming to the end of the useful life. For me, that's very good going. MLs are renowned for chewing side walls, and this has immediately solved this issue with even wear throughout.
Road noise for me and guests have all commented on how quite they are still and not noticeable the car is running on ATs.
Overall, I would recommend these and will be replacing with the same again.
