Got a set of 265x70R15's on the Rangie and TBH the tread isn't that deep or spaced out so sloppy mud would be a problem.
With ours being 265 profile they also tend to aquaplane quite a bit if you hit a puddle on the road but they have worn well and if I was looking for a road tyre that would be the one, only thinner than 265.  :wink:

Never nused them myself but i would have thought they were good.

The wrangler MT's are used for the camel trophy if i am correct.

Which AT tyres though, they do several (and keep changing them).

I've had 3 different types on the LSE and all were good on the road but not that great off it.

Then they also do a very good AT in 205 but not 235/70, these are better off-road.

All in all I find Good year quite confusing, they call most of their 16 inch tyres 'wrangler' so you don't know what you are buying.

I can only find one Wrangle AT/R (http://eu.goodyear.com/uk_en/tires/repository/WranglerAT_R/index.jsp) on the Goodyear website and it's the same as the set we have on the Rangie so I assume it's these we're talking about.
Not unless you've had the Wrangler Radial SR/A (http://eu.goodyear.com/uk_en/tires/repository/Wrangler_Radial_SR-A/index.jsp) fitted instead of the AT/R?

I had some pirelli scorpions on one of my disco's once which had a similar tread pattern, these were ok off road, you just need to drive carefully ie be choosy on the line you pick and avoid any wet sloppy mud.  If the weather stays warm and dry you will be fine!?!?! :?
The tyres were the ones fitted by Land Rover to my Disco Commercial when it was new.( that was in 1998), I didn't change the tyres as it was a company motor and they didn't see the need to fit mud tyres for me to off road it at weekends!!
