part worn MTs vs new ATs

[goodoldboy]

the tread on my cooper SSTs is now down to about 5mm & are also badly cracked up around the tread blocks so i'm wondering about how effective they really are compared to say some brand new ATs.At the moment i run MTs in the winter & a road pattern M&S type tyre in the summer.The MTs are great in fresh , powdery snow but not too clever on ice or wet n muddy roads - the M&S tires are clearly better so are a set of ATs the way to go?

Yes,

Go for AT.

Make sure they have the snowflake symbol in the mountain shape.

I would thoroughly recommended the BF Goodrich AT tyre, very good in snow and on the road. Only downside is the price.

I can also recommend the BF AT's ive been running them 3 years now and have been excellent in all weathers. i would say they are about 40% worn and ive driven about 30k miles.

Ditto.

This is the only tyre you need.
As far as AT tyres go, these really are hard to beat as an all rounder.

I let you all guess what they are.

Ive been quoted €160.00 each & €10.00 for fitting for BFG ATs so will probably go for em - MTs are great at work in the woods or on a mountain but i usually have a hand winch with me 6 there is always some dirty great skidder around for a tow
