Gent's,
Tyres sound good thus far.
I will be on the hunt for replacement tyres in the next month or two and would like to know how much have you paid for these GG AT's?

Mine were negotiated at ordering time so nothing extra to pay. Also looked at the Pirelli Scorpions but considered too exxy.
Don't ask, don't get so no harm in asking.

ATs went well, although not extensively tested. Camped at Granny's Flat (near Jamieson - great vanilla slices at the cafe :)), and only got out one arvo on a couple of short tracks - Gallows and Ferguson, and D4/ATs didn't miss a beat (although a Pajero we encountered didn't fare as well!).
My impressions so far - a little noisier on the freeway (but not alarmingly so), D4 sits very well on the road, including in the wet, I expect marginally worse fuel economy, and they look great on.
I paid <$300/tyre, with the guys at TC well below other quotes.

Had my GG AT's fitted yesterday at my local JAX. They are WAY more aggressive looking than the Wranglers! I'm now looking forward to going offroad to check them out. :)
Should I worry that each wheel has a stack of weights to balance them? If so, why?
I had a look at the ATs the other day and thought they looked pretty tame - they look barely AT.
As far as weights - yes too much weight - the tyres should come off and be moved on the rim to minimise the amount of weight required.

Mate that is bad what they need to do is spin the tyre on the rim to bring the weight down and balance them with flange plate fingers if there not doing this way its wrong .... If you are in melb bring to me and i will fix it for you it gets my goat up when they do a job and not give a **** at the end of the day.........Quote:

I'll take it back to JAX next week and see what I can organise. Is there a reason why having that many weights is no good?? I'd like to sound at least a little bit as if I know what I'm talking about.... :(
Lots of time it can be a coulpe of thingsQuote:

What you need to say to them is that there is to much weight on the rims and you would like the tyre spun 180 on the rim not upside down but 180 around,
then ask them did they finger balance them ie FLANGE PLATE if not they are not 4x4 the right way because the hole in the rim is not true in round they are there for clearance on ALL 4x4s
How would you guys compare the noise levels to the factory wranglers now you have a few km's on them
I can pick some up for $275 a corner but don't want a noisy highway drive since I do about 70/30 on/offroad.
Cheers

I have recently replaced my Wranglers with the new 255/60/18 AT on my Disco 4 2.7 L
had them up the Vic High Country over the Labour's Day weekend
Went up some steep muddy and slippery and rocky sections which needed some momentum! Also a very long muddy slippery downhill stretch.
Performed well, but noticed a few superficial linear cuts to the side wall of one tyre
On the blacktop at 100 to 110 km/hr, definitely slightly more hum than the wranglers with the windows closed. Windows opened, wind nosie completely drowns out the hum
Hum is minimal, noticeable but not intrusive
car handles well on blacktop no different from the wranglers
hope this helps
