I've had 255/60r18 General Grabber ATs on my L322 for a year now and wouldn't put anything else on it from now on. They are as good gripwise as the AT2s I had on my Disco2, and the BFGs AT KOs I had on a classic and a P38, but are quieter on the road and a little better with effect on mpg. Certainly better in the mud and sno, and cheaper, than the dire Goodyears it had as original equipment. They seem to self clean better than the other AT tyres I've had too, with very few stones getting stuck in the tread.
When fitted they only took 30grams to balance too, showing how the Continental influence has clearly resulted in great manufacturing tolerances. The amount of weight that had to be put on to balance BFGs in the past was ridiculous in comparison.
Other thing is that with std 18" rims its not affected the steering. There are many stories of woe with people sticking over sized rims on these things just to find they have terrible vibrations due to the steering rack not being up to the job, and then having to fork out a shed load more on an uprated (Overfinch?) rack.
