I have a set of Grabber GTs for everyday use and a set of Grabber ATs (on own 20" alloys) for when off road or green laning, didn't find the ATs so good for normal roads and motorways to be honest myself, but that isn't a criticism of them, just prefer the GTs for general use, don't wear out so fast either. The set of Continental 4x4 tyres (came fitted with), are still the quietest tyres Ive used but only good for summertime, and against what most say, they are not so good in the rain, haven't used them this year just stored properly for if/when needed.

I had intended to swap from Grabber AT to Pirelli ATR for most use with a set of Duratrac for winter/off road. Sadly, supply issues along with poor timing (damaged tyres resulting in new required ASAP) meant I stayed with the AT again.

That's what I found with the Grabber A/Ts, I don't think the sidewall is strong enough as I have damaged 2 of them now on either flints or rocks. Tear in both sidewalls and but loads of tread left destined for the bin

Do you have a tow rope for the party (just in case)? If not, there's one for sale on Disco. I've got the same rope and the 10m version and they are good. I'll have both in my vehicle - that way neither will be needed! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Great stuff, I will PM you my number near the time so we can meet up again then. Yes I have all recovery stuff covered already, but I'm starting to think bottle jack now out of paranoia!!
