Hi,
Question to the pannel,
I currently have a set of AT2's on my frontera for road, and a set of Maxxis MT's in the garrage for playing.
Which would be best for the snow. AT2s or mTs

Yep,AT`s as they are less prone to digging & having recently seen Grabber AT2`s on fresh & compacted snow their performance would be hard to better

Maxxis mudders for me. Just done 60 miles for 4x4 response and was in 4wd all the time. Took the swb specialy because it has the mudders on and felt so much safer than when driving with ATs. If just sloppy slush then ATs are ok. As for digging in, thats fine when you want to find the road beneath. Try them both in deep snow and go with what feels safest to you.

On my old Sport the AT's coped better in the snow than my MT's do now and they where just remould Colway AT's .
They gripped the snow great where as recently my MT's dug down through the snow but didnt gain any traction no matter what I did.
AT
MT
These lost traction a couple of feet further on.

Maybe just pilot error Drifty 
Ive always found AT's very good, maybe better in all but deep mud.

My Ats were magic today in the snow.
Light travels faster than sound.This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Was out from 3am this morning with 4x4 Response in Forest of Dean, my Cooper Discoverer MT's worked very well in the snow which was over 10" in places
Went up a mates farm on Sat, his DIsco was struggling on AT's where I had no problems
But the usual recommendation is to use AT's in the snow as they don't dig in as much as a MT tyre

Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
