I went for 245 65 17 Cooper Discoverer AT3s, I liked the tread pattern and our tyre supplier did me 4 fitted and balanced for £396.
I wanted a better tyre for the winter as our estate is a pig to get on and off when it snows.

Mine are Cooper Discoverer AT3 265 65 17.
Look good
Good all rounder
Quiet on road
Good in wet
£109 per corner approx
Not done much in mud, but supposed to be capable - lots of members on here have them, and rate them highly
Well that's my opinion!

Coopers for me but I switched to modular rims as well.

Depends on your budget, you can get remoulds for £70 a corner, they are normally a bit softer compound and don't last as long.
Or if your pocket allows go for BFGs but they are about £150 a corner, but they will last you longer.

Just a note though, I'm running 265/75/16 on mine and they catch every now and again on full lock. Note sure how Gezza gets on with 17s.
