I use Colway MT's for playing off road (I've got Goodyear AT/R's for normal use).  They seem to do a good job, and for the money offer very good value imho.
On road they do rumble a bit, and can be woolly around bends.

For everyday tyres, I'm not sure if I would go with them (purely for handling reasons) but for a second, play day set I'd say go for it.

I had the Bronco M/T's on my 110Tdi.
Identical in every aspect. Superb off the road, bar soft Welsh sand at Pendine :oops:

Damn fine on the road as well, just a bit noisy at 70mph, but never had any handling problems.

I've got the MT's on my 90, great in the mud and not too bad on the road, I do get a bit more road noise but it's not too bad. I hav'nt noticed too much difference in the handling.
