Lots of ATR vs AT debate D3side. I've got ATRs and use them full time, sold my MTRs & road tyres. The ont use up any more fuel, handle well and last over 40k miles. They get a big |

I've have these fitted to my MY2010 and run with them all year round with no problem either on or off road. My RRS spends about a third of its time off highway where these tyres cope really well. Advised my insurer and they wern't bothered at all and didn't hike up my premium. Taller profile is not an issue and it actually, in my opinion, reduces road noise. Long suffering RRS Owner, but I can't help it! |

I ran grabber UHP's on my D3 and they were superb on the road and looked quite capable for off roading.... not 100% on side wall strength with rocks mind you...so depends on your choice of off roading RRS gone

Was pretty impressed with the sidewall durability of the ATRs after quite a bit of very steep & rocky climbs in the Pyrenees last year. One received a flesh wound but nothing to worry about. |

I live in the country up a steep hill and minor roads. For work I travel motorways extensively and occasionally go off road to access remote facilities.

Re pressures, I run mine at +3psi all round compared with standard, 36F & 45R. Concensus on t'other forum seems to be that upping the pressures slightly helps with mpg a bit. It does change the feel a little but nothing too bad or I couldn't get used to. |

45psi on the rears? Wow, seems really high unless you have a fully loaded vehicle most of the time. Seems to be much more than +3 over LR pressures for normal load carrying.

Rears laden on D3 are 42 psi, i often load up with junk so leave it there. |
