General Grabber tyres

[Nicky]

Hi Guys,
any experience with these on a TD5?

[White 110]

By chance I just had a pair fitted yesterday to the front end of our D2. Feel/sound/grip identical to the original Michelins in my honest opinion. Maybe slightly better grip on the basis there is more tread than the Michelins that they replaced. Obviously only been on the black stuff since lunchtime yesterday!

Hi Guys,
any experience with these on a TD5?
Had them (all terrain) on my 90 since new (4 years). Done about 80,000 and only just starting to look a bit tired on the front. Would easily get another 20,000km out of them. Not too noisey and grip well.

It doesn't rain in Melbourne so can't tell you about "in the wet".

I think they are good for the bitumen, I have not tested them in off road conditions as I have a second set of wheels/muddies for 4wding.

Got some on steel rims for going bush in my 03 D2 (235 70 16 GG AT2) - really good IMHO.

Give Greg at AMV a ring on 98709904.

I've put about 8000klm on my set of GG AT2's.
I've not driven on deep sand or through bog holes, so cannot comment there.
But on wet and dry bitumen, rocky, gravelly, dusty, corrugated roads they're excellent. Very little road noise aswell
Some wear beginning to show, I rotate the spare at 5000klm.

If I get anywhere near 80,000 klm IMHO that is way too high and indicates the compound is too hard. These "feel" soft, very grippy and I'd expect around 60,000klm. (I do tend to push the corners 'cos I got ACE :p)

I'd buy the GG AT2's again.

However, one important note, I only got these because BFG dont do a 255x65x16. Otherwise I'd probably be saying all this about them.

NO idea Nicky - mine came with the vehicle - hunt around I'm sure you'll find them - perhaps put an ad in the wanted as people oftern change them over on new vehicles.

Yes mine are a bit harder at 80K Km - although I reckon that is due to age not kms.

I don't push it and do a lot of highway cruising so 80K Km is resonable for me. (I got 110,000km out of a set of BFG AT's and still had meat on them;))

Why are you selling,
What size and what price?

they fit a 16" rim - i'll get the size later for you. i'm selling them because i don't want them. theres nothing wrong with them, there were fitted new by the previous owner when i bought the 90 and i wanted something a bit bigger/more aggressive so took them straight off.

[taff]

o.k the set i have are 265-75-16 and are pretty much brand new. if anyone wants them contact me via pm or the usual mod hat on post will follow this;)
first in with close to $800 can have them. otherwise they'll be on e-bay next week
