They are brilliant off road, I'll admit but do you find they whine more at 70 that the GG's Andy?

Sorry for the delay and no not really, just done 2080 miles door to door on holiday driving motorway and single track roads with a mixture of A & B thrown in.

I thought some of you might like an update after changing?

My son bought some AT3's for his Freelander 2 and as it happened we had to drive it to Germany and back so put a good few miles on them. Mightily impressed, only criticism was very slight dead about centre feel.

So bought them for the Disco. Here are my conclusions in comparison to the Duratracs:

Irritating Whine: Now gone, I can go to MIL's without a headache (still have one coming back but that's not the tyres).
Ride: Considerably softer.
Handling: Less sharp turn in and centre feel is frankly pretty awful. I'm going to play around with tyre pressures and then, if need be, tracking to see if I can improve these factors.
Looks: Not as butch.

I think there are two tread patterns available in the Duratracs and somehow I had (still have, now sitting in barn) the more blocky off road biased ones.
