New General Grabber AT

Thanks Garry, I'll check them out when I get back. I'm not sure that I really care too much whether I get the AT's or AT2's. I'm actually a bit confused as to which is which. :( Are the AT's the more 'road-like' ones, and the AT's more 'off-roady'??

Garry do you know if Jax are able to balance/fit properly, as Booftdl mentioned earlier in this thread?

As I understand it the AT is a replacement for the AT2 but the AT2 is still available. According to General Tires the AT is slightly more capable offroad than the AT2 but to my untrained eyes has a more road looking tread.

Re balancing - no idea but I have never had a problem with fitting and balancing for my tyres at any tyre dealer.

First there G.G. AT. Then came G.G. AT2. More aggresive style tread. Original G.G. AT STOPPED. NEWG.G. AT ( Same name as original tyre but completly different) introduced. Reading from G.G. charts new AT better that AT2 all round in all areas. Quieter on road to meet european standards. Diamond style tread. Altho AT2 looks to have a better tread for offroad not so according to G.G. tests ??. Either would do me. Both AT & AT2 are still available

Thanks Gary. That kind of clears it up for me. Like you, I don't really care what I get. They're probably both better than the originals that I have at the moment...

Yes the AT2 is out there its going to be at least a year i have been told before they stop making them....

Heh Boof and all,
Are the GG AT tyres pretty tough?
Are they particularly weak anywhere in construction.

Baz has some very recent unwelcome experiences with 18" AT2 on his new D4.

Thanks Graeme yes I read that, as with all tyres a lot depends on tyre pressures, speed and terrain.

I was after an educated opinion on the construction of the AT thinking that Boof would know a bit more of the technical properties of the tyre comparing it to other brands.

In particular side wall strength and ply direction as this makes a difference.

Try messaging Andy at AJS tyres on the Disco3.co.uk forum, he's mentioned the construction of them before.

Sorry, I hadn't realised it was old news, thinking the problems had only occurred in the last several days but AT2 anyway.
