Reading from the GG website the new AT is better allround that the AT2. Just doesn't look like itQuote:

That is the problem - so far it is only the makers saying they are better - I have not as yet seen any independent reports on whether they are in fact better or it is just marketing hype - they certainly look less aggressive than the AT2.Quote:

A little while back, the Pirelli ATR won one of the magazine's AT tyre shoot-out, against some visually far more aggressive-looking tyres. So there's some truth to the claim that it's not just looks that determine the ability.

my wife tells me that Gordon. :p
When I ordered my D4 from ULR they offered AT tyres as I had said the vehicle would be used for its designated purpose. Vehicle is now ready for delivery and they (ULR) asked last week what tyres I'd like (cool!). So I mentioned both the Pirelli ATR and GG AT as both being well regarded on this forum. They said they'd look into it and today they said they'd fit the GG's as the Pirellis were a tad exxy for them to 'throw in'. So I'm Really looking forwards to Saturday.
Know where I can get some spray-on mud for the drive back down Malvern Road?:D
Just 5 more sleeps......

Replaced my Wranglers with the Grabber ATs today (and great service from the team at Tyrepower Camberwell :)). Agree with ~Rich~ ... they certainly look better on the D4 in real-life than in the promo pix. Off to the Vic high-country this weekend, and keen to see how they perform.

Have a good trip - looking forward to a full report and photos !!!!

Finally picked up new D4 (3.0) last Saturday. GG AT's fitted from new.
Managed to get the car dirty going up to Olinda (lots of rain and mud). Tyres are really good. Little noise, though I have nothing to compare pre/post noise wise.
Car handles and corners very well. Much better than GQ with BFG AT's on-road. I'm on-call this weekend :( so lots of Princes Highway mileage coming up (first call as I type this!) but very happy so far. 7.3l/100km on the way home (mind you, I had a little help from a Westerly;)).
