I have not tested them in snow or other tough weather/ off road conditions, but they have performed brilliantly up to this point. Overall, I am very satisfied with these tyres.

1/5

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3

I am not impressed with this choice. Even a bit of dew means these tyres have almost no grip on a wet road. I have to drive at least 20 kph under the speed signs and brake in a controlled manner to not lose control. They work OK for off-road, but I definitely would not recommend them.

5/5

Yokohama G018 A/T4

I am very happy with these tyres. So far, they have dealt with everything I have thrown at them.

4/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Lasted well, approximately 35,000 miles.

5/5

Lanvigator Catchfors M/T

I recently fitted Lanvigator tyres to my 4x4. They are amazing! The grip in muddy conditions is outstanding and off roading is much more enjoyable now. There's no going back to my old tyres, these are winners!

4/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

They appear to be performing about as well as one would expect from a good tyre brand.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

To date, they have been amazing in all conditions. They are particularly good in the wet and are quieter than my last ones.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

My tyres are performing right on schedule.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Durable and hard-wearing. Tyre is excellent.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Outstanding traction in all conditions, as well as on and off-road driving. After 9 years, I replaced the original factory tyres with the same ones.

3/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

They managed to do well until they got to 40,000 miles. After that, their wet grip has gone to poor. They are going quickly, and I believe they will need replacing after 60,000. They still give ok value for what they cost, but do tend to wear quickly and lose grip after 40,000.

235/85 R16 is a tall 4x4 tyre used on some Land Rover Defender models where clearance is important. The first number is the width of the tyre in mm, the second number is the aspect ratio, and in this case is 85 %, making the sidewall height about 200mm. R16 signifies the tyre is radial, and it is fitted on a 16-inch rim. The overall diameter is 806mm. The tall sidewall is also an advantage when driving off road giving a softer ride. We have 235/85 R16 including C marked tyres in stock at Tyres.co.uk.
