Goatboy, I do about 25ish miles a day, so not that many, im thinking of getting some all terrains, but heard they are not great on or off road, but dont really want the hassle of having another full set of tyres ie MT's purely for off roading, as iv then got to store them and faff about swapping them over when I want to off road!

Sounds good jimmydan, let me know how you get on.

worth noting that the bigger tyres will stunt acceleration a little and your speedo will under read too.

25 miles is quite a lot in a Jim! I would avoid really aggressive tyres if I were you. The Kumho KL71 seem to be pretty good on the road considering they are MTs (well I think they are) and seem to do great in the sticky stuff.
I guess it depends on how much offroading you do too but like you say some ATs may be a btter choice. BFGs have a good reputation...
