I'm keen for a tyre that primarily performs well on the road but looks a bit more aggressive than the normal H/T's and so far your Zeon LTZ's seem to be the only real choice for the MN.
My off roading is limited to the occasional run on the beach and gravel driving out the farm.

Brand? Mickey Thompson
Style? Baja ATZ 4 Rib
Handle on Road? (Grip/noise) Excellent grip, Some low level noise at higher speeds and when braking. Excellent in the wet
Handle off road? (Grip/Noise) Very good on dirt and gravel roads. Still very happy with these in all off road conditions
Price per tyre? $325- fitted Expensive, but well worth the coin
Wear & Tear? (how are they wearing) TBA, to soon to know. Wearing very well

I have to say these tyres have exceeded my expectations for a all rounder and thank god they are. Great on dry tar,have exelent stopping power at high speed and good lateral stability. Real good in lose gravel although will pick up small stones a bit.
Now the good bit, Wile in Sydney we had just enough rain to make the roads very slick in places. Where it was safe I pushed it hard till I could feel it break out. Was very predictable and easy to recover. On a tight roundabout going down hill it did under steer a bit but felt very safe . The back end never stepped out. If you dive sensibly these tyres will out perform most H/Ts in my opinion. Braking on the wet tar was also very good.
What has really surprised me is how well they are going in this black mud here. They seem to self clean quite well.
Cheers Tony

Faarkin lot of good Coopers are!
They only bring these tyres in to NSW - will not even let a NSW dealer ship them to Brisbane. Even tried "Northern NSW" dealers - nope!...too bad, sound like one of the best A/T's around - looks like Bridgestone are getting my money.
Just had the head QLD distributer ring - told him his ATR's are a POS and to stick them up his clacker and going D694's
