So of course I bought them. Then I started looking into tires, street tires gave hundreds of options. Anything more aggressive was few and far between. Goodyear had a kevlar AT and the Duratrac which were pretty decent looking. I had come across a MT though from a small newer company named Atturo. They had the Trail Blade MT in a good size 19" (255/55R19) So I got a set ordered from them directly as they are a Illinois based company I had them the next day.

I also got the hub centric rings I would need on the way from the guys at Lucky8. Only place I have found that offered a nice aluminium part instead of plastic. Great price on those as well.

So everything arrived and I got the tires down to Pep Boys in Crystal Lake for mounting and balancing.

Then I finally got them mounted on the Discovery. I couldn't be happier with the look and ride. They definitely sound like Mud tires, not the worst howl I've heard but you know they are there. So far I've done about 75 miles of combined driving on them and I'm very happy.

This weekend I'm driving 1400 miles round trip to Rovers on the Rocks. I hope to give them one serious workout
They are the exact rims on my D2 now, bought them new cheap on Ebay with Goodyear F1 tires fitted, they now have Continental UHP tires but they are nearly toast so now I'm looking at Atturo AZ800 or AZ850 as highway replacements.

I am thinking of putting something like this on my D3 in a 20". How did they cope with the ice? Up here in the barren North we get snow and ice for about 6 months of the year. I don't suppose, by any chance, they are a snowflake tyre? I am assuming not if they're not siped....

I drove them through a Chicago winter with no issues. They are not snowflake rated to the best if my knowledge.

That sounds like the perfect tire for me! I have enough issues with snowflakes as it is......
