Thread: General Grabber AT2 19"

I can confirm that the General Grabber AT 255/55/19 will be available end of next week (or thereabouts). Supply and fit in Newcastle quoted at $293 per tyre.

Decision time l guess. General Grabber AT versus Pirelli Scorpion AT ??????

Mmmm.....TRIF, unless there is something you didn't like in the UK write-ups about the GG AT....it should be a no brainer.....I know I'd rather have that $1000 in my pocket!

Yes l know. Just thinking out aloud. GG for me.

Thanks for the positive news. Been very pleased with 33,000 km on 19" Wranglers including 7000 km on Simpson Desert trip last year. Bound for the Cape this year and need to get some new tyres before hand so Grabbers look like a good option at that price.

I'll be happy to put Wranglers back on for the black top and save the Grabbers for the trips.

Keep us posted when the first shipment arrives. I'll start shopping in Melbourne this week.

Thanks Geoff

Hey mate, don't know if you read my post on the Wranglers becoming puncture prone after some wear. I don't think they have a monopoly on that, as I'm certain I read elsewhere that another brand of tyre appeared to be doing the same thing.

With the exception of mud, my Wranglers had been pretty good (no crazy off-road stuff though, just sand, gravel, grass and some rocky stuff) but I had always planned on getting an AT type a bit later.

I had three out of the five tyres down to 50 - 60% and blew two of those on the one weekend just driving on gravel forest tracks. So I was forced to by the new tyres a few months earlier than anticipated.

I just couldn't believe how easily they blew.....rocks straight through the tread area.

Just something to keep in mind.

Cheers,

Kev.

JUst wondering where in Newcastle you got the quote? On their website, General Tyres doesn't list a distributor in Newcastle. I'm about due for new 19s on my D4SE and looking for options, thanks.

Quote was from Jax in Edgeworth. However, afterwards l contacted my regular tyre supplier who contacted the Conti state rep directly to verify the info. As of this morning l have not received any more news. I'll post details once l know more.

As of this afternoon l was told the shipment has been delayed by 2-3 weeks, so we need to wait just a little longer. But they are definitely coming .......
