I have a tatty 2003 Ford Maverick that'll spend some of it's time down woodland tracks, muddy and sandy car parks and in the snow. I don't plan to go into deep mud or anything so some AT tyres would seem ideal. It will spend much of it's time on road.
Due to the size (225/70 R15) the choice of brands is a bit limited and after a bit research I'm considering some General Grabber AT2s.
However, I'll need to do some motorway driving in them and wonder if they'll be up to the job. I can stick to 60 and can cope with the noise, but I don't want them to affect the steering, braking too much. I won't be doing too many miles so wear shouldn't be too much of an issue.
My other option would be General's HTS tyres which seem to be ideal for road and snow but I don't know if they'll cope with light muddy tracks etc.
Does anyone have either tyre and have any comments, or use a similar AT tyre on the road much?
