    Just my 2 cents, but before we sold the wifes Exploder, we were looking at putting a set of the Grabber AT2's on it. I noticed that the AT2's weren't a LT (Light Truck) tyre in the sizes we looked at....nearly put a couple on my D1 until I saw that!

    The Pirellis are about $60 more than the others. Are they worth it?

    Probably not if you just want something to keep the rims off the ground.
    Probably if you want traction, silence and appreciate good tyres.

    Sounds like they're worth it then.
    Would they be OK for puncture resistence up Cape York and in other tougher conditions?

    For info, on a 255/65/R16 the GG AT2 is rated at 109T (Im sure someone will advise what that means )

    See attached for other information, note BSW=Black Side Wall, OWL=Outside White Lettering.

    I rotate mine with the spare at around 5000k intervals, they have around 14,000 on them now and showing some even wear, all good and me a very happy chappy

    I'm not sure what they are like for punctures. I've not heard of them being punctured..... Punctures at Cape York wouldn't worry me in the slightest, it didn't seem to me to be an area that was tough on tyres like that. The big thing I'd be looking for in that area is traction... we ran Simex up there, and the Simex are the tyres which I always puncture - but no probs up there.
