My Unimog was shod with what would pass as AT's. With axle articulation and diff locks all around it was pretty capable over most surfaces. Clay (and volcanic ash) however was nasty. And the only thing for it was CHAINS. Allowed for less revs, and turned it into a true beast.
Such a simple concept and yet so stunning that we often joked that rubber would only get you so far, but you needed steel to really go anywhere (was also a nod to tracked vehicles)
I'd stay with AT's and just carry chains when the situation dictated.
