Default Tyred of Bristols

I'm looking at replacing my worn cross plies with radials. Not having deep pockets, the two I have identified are a Michelin taxi tyre or Dunlop Ground Trek AT2 which is a small SUV tyre. The pros and cons are that the taxi tyre has a lower speed rating Q against R and a higher weight index which suggests that it will give a harder ride. Does anyone have experience of the AT2? It is claimed to be designed for 80% on road 20% off. The tread looks pretty 1980s to me but I have not been able to see one in the flesh. Does anyone have experience of this tyre (on or off a Bristol) and would it be a better bet than the ubiquious taxi tyre for a 403?
