Hey Gordon, Have you heard any news on the Conti 19", other than what I metioned in a recent post?Quote:

Let's hope though ...............

Hi Gordon, Lets hope that one of the tyre companies get an act before too long.
I have only done 28K on the originals, but no doubt, by the time I can get a decent replacement, they would have worn out.

With all the problems in relation to the availability of quality all terrains/mud tyres in 19" would it not be a better/wiser idea to go up a size to 20's particularly now that Cooper has come to the party. Or does a problem arise because of the low profile and easier damage to the rim.

Hi Folks,
After talking to the Ausrtalian Conti Marketing Manager today I can give you all some good news.
The new General Grabber AT (255/55/19) the same tyre that our UK Disco 4 brothers are enjoying will be available here from around second quarter 2011.
The RRP will be $350 ea.
Chris
That's a good price Chris, given that all other 19" rubber is much dearer.Quote:

I sure hope this is correct as (1) I wasn't looking forward to the day my MTR's wear out, and (2) with 8 rims to boot (5 for the car and 3 for the camper trailer) I can't afford to upsize them all to 20".
I have been following the tyre threads ever since I got the D4 January 2010 and have gone from nearly signing up for 18" rims, to investigating importing the General Grabber AT (255/55/19) after reading reports and brochure on UK forum to getting the Pirelli AT. Time was on my side as first off road is to the Cape in July. Today I rang Spinning Wheel Tyres who now say the General Grabber AT (255/55/19) shows on their list. Then rang my local JaxTyres and they put me on hold and rang Continental, say they are on the boat and are about 1 month away at $279 fitted. He put six on back order for me, looks hopeful, so if you can wait a month could be worth it.
