Well Rich no need to worry if you have not fitted them yet I'll do you the same super generous deal as I offered Sheerluck. ...:angel:

You are very generous Terry.

I only have the Hi-ice not the Logic 7. I've had it up to 50 and that's starting to hurt (ears and speakers I suspect). Don't know what it goes up to, looks like about 60. (Mental note - put Back in Black in the car for tomorrow).

Your tyres must be very noisy.

I have them in the 19s and I think they are noisy for an AT. More noticeable than the GG ATs or AT2s (the ATs are very quiet). Not as noisy as the KM2s which I think are quiet for a muddy.

I was a bit surprised by them, but it certainly wouldn't put me off buying them again. Happy with them so far - certainly more confident with them off-road than either of the GGs.

BTW, also fitted them to an RRS in 20" and they worked very well on a trip to the High Country.

The Cross Contact A/T's have been a pretty good choice and I am happy to recommend them. Honestly with the windows up there is little to no noticeable noise over and above wind etc.

I will probably go away from the Conti's next set and opt for the new LT 697's as my only concern has been sidewall strength as when used off road they do have a tendency to scuff and cut a bit.

Hope that helps.

Thanks George, looks like it will be a price decision between the Conti's and the Pirellis. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions.
