michelin latitude cross or Grabber AT's

Does anyone have experience with both these tyre brands/models
How do they compare?

On paper, the michelin latitude cross are better in the wet and with fuel
How do they compare in the mud
Whats the tread depth on michelin latitude cross -Internet searches failed me on this one.

I have the grabbers, and in the wet on tarmac they arnt great

thanks everyone, I think I may give them a try, grabbers are good in the soft stuff, but not so good on wet tarmac

not sure if its my tracking, as its never happened before, (i recently kerbed a wheel)

But my Grabber GT (i know not exactly the same) made a juddering slipping noise the other day doing a full lock turn in a soaking wet carpark, i was driving a tiny bit faster than i should have but they felt like i had lost grip Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Michelin's fitted - much better to drive on the road, less wallow, much less noise, took a quick spin in the 4" mud, and no issues

Italy 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 S Auto Stornoway Grey

I did 15000 Km with the latitude cross and now I have to use the grabber GT, because during the summer, for the law, the minimum speed code for SD4 is "V" but the cross are "H". I prefer the cross, in my opinion they are more confortable on the tarmac and on the pothole and gives better traction in offroad compared to the grabber.

I don't understand why I have to use tyres with code "V" (speed up to 240 Km/h) in a car with a top speed of 195 Km/h! The "H" code (up to 210 Km/h) is adequate to my car and permits a wider range of tyres selection than the "V" code. MY11 SD4 S

Trekker, I'm not sure which law you refer to - something odd and Italian? The Land Rover approved tyre lists (original equipment) have Latitude Tour HP as a standard fitting in sizes 235/65 R17 104V and 235/55 R19 101H. If it's LR approved original equipment I can't see how there could be a problem. Unless there's something fundamentally different about Latitude Cross? Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
