Silly boys did the tests in the Cape, so they couldn't do a wet braking test.

Indeed. I see the Yoko G15 was near the bottom.

At those prices the Geolanders looks very appealing

I might just stick with them. But the G12 aren’t in the test you posted, only the G15.

The AT3 Dunlop did well & are cheap. Any experience on those?

I had them on the Jeep when I bought it but only for a day.

AT3 is a 3ply all terrain IIRC

Could this be sarcasm?

Is that based on survey results, or from the manufacturer?

Is that the Dunlop one? 3 ply would put me off the tyre

I think it was from the manufacturer. I’d have to look again

Eventually they ran out.

GO15 fitted. I hope they’re as good as the GO12 have been.

Are they the LT version? The sizes available for the Jimny and Grand Vitara are not, I ended up losing four tyres (2 on each car) due to punctures.
