soft rubber. and 10 miles a day on rather unforgiving stony track, I
expect. but mainly soft rubber.

It had BFG ATs on it, when I had it - didn't take to them much on wet
tarmac, though in fact there were issues with various steering joints and
the like which didn't help the handling either. However, they're now on
Mother's TDi, which they suit very well, in fact.
The long trail might be a bit "road" for me, too - same was true of the
Pirellis, mind.
I've seen a big jap 4x4 truck with goodrich MT on the back and long trail on
the front - I guess it's part-time 4x4 - probably makes sense on such a
thing, at that.
