Funny - I have probably seen more staked BFG ATs than any other tyre...

Dont really know much about the GGs but the 751s which i have are definitely more aggressive in real life than they look on the website and for the price, compared with the BFGs i couldnt go past them.
I got the tyre guy to get a set from his warehouse so i could have a look at them before i bought. He brought a set of 753s to compare with also. 753s are more similar to the Bighorns but slightly less aggressive and apparently a harder compound so better life.

Just got back from trip 17 000 k on Cooper St Maxx, Gibb River Rd, Kulumburu Rd to Mitchell Plateau, Cape Leveque, Tanami Desert Rd and Plenty/Donahue Hwy (the roughest). 6 tyres all round on the camper trailer as well, we took 2 spares and puncture repair kit and not 1 puncture. Tyres performed well on road and are quiet.

They are more aggressive than they look in the photo.I can post some photos of the actual thread on them if anyone wants
It gets very good reviews in this artice including sand. I'm very pleased with them.

Hi Spudfan,
That new pattern looks the business, but I've not seen either of the AT patterns here in Oz. Cars fitted with GGs here still have the TR type fitted. ( unless one of the new owners can comment that it has now changed?)
Cheers,
Lou

SupporterThe General Grabber AT is not a Land Rover fitment. I had mine fitted by the indendent who supplied my 2011 Puma. The thread is a lot deeper than it seems in the photo.
If you look at the tyre review for the General Grabber AT by Land Rover Monthly on this link
http://www.4site4x4.co.uk/downloads.aspx
there is a very good view of the thread on the tyre fitted to a Discovery.You can up the size of the photo for a better idea.
The Land Rover Owner review has a large photo of a single tyre. If you increase the page size to 100% you get a really good view of the thread.

SupporterThanks Spudfan - predominantly deep soft sand, pea gravel (little round gravel) on hard compacted dirt, and corrugated dirt roads here. Occassional mud... but not the British type.
What sort of terrain have you used them on?

We run GT Adventuro tyres on our work vehicles and they do the job,if they are cheaper than the normal name brands they are the best buy. Pat

SupporterVery similar to the above apart from sand as we are a little short on deserts over here..
Regarding the mud thing. Over here there's the usual "mud" type mud then there's the soft peat moss type stuff. Driven rim deep in both and all O.K.
Have'nt tried any Camel Trophy style heroics but as an all around tyre it is pretty good. You can always get a better specialist tyre but they all fall short somewhere.
And as an aside they are pretty good in the rain, of which we get a lot of over here. Did good service in snow both soft and the compact type stuff.
When the General Grabber TR type tyres on the 2008 Puma need changing I'll be fitting a set of these General Grabber AT tyres, so enough said. Then again the TR's have over 80,000 kms on them and there is still buckets of thread left on them. Talk about value for money!
