I will now be moving onto rocks and wadis because I want to start rounding my skills as an overlander more than a dune rider. For which, I will have to make other weight additions to the car that will regardless have an even more detrimental impact on the performance.

Hi @munkybizness the terrain will be different, but I assume you still will need your car to perform climbs (short, sustained, steep, etc.) then, also assuming that you will need heavier tires, and with the weight the additional equipment will bring in, then perhaps you may want to research about upgrading the gear and pinion of your car, bring it from 3.55 to 4.70.

As far as Cooper AT3s go, I’m more keen on the XLT variant rather than the 4S. Have you heard similar reviews about it too? I saw that you were running Coopers in Liwa so you have the first hand experience here.

The comment I heard was specific to the AT3s 4S.  I used the tires for about 40K on sand and road, there are no negative observations I can share.
