What tyres should you NOT use for greeen laning?

After my "getting stuck in my own front garden" fiasco (see relevant thread!), I was thinking about getting some better off-road tyres. At the moment I have the BF Goodrich Allterrains.

However, I have seen people mention that you aren't supposed to have big chunky tyres to go green laning in, as it doesn't do them any favours.

So I was looking at getting the tyres with the best off-road grip, that wouldn't damage green lanes too much.

What ever tyres you want. Its not the tyresthat do the damage its the driver.

I have seen people with ATs do more damage that people with Simexs. Also the other way around.

I run Creepy Crawlers 35/12.5/16s and all I do is green laneing.

Pauls right.

Also depends on the lane, if its hard rock surface with very little or no mud you can often get away with just road tyres.

Worth carrying 2 spares as well.
