Thread: New General Grabber AT

Hi Neil

I take it that the GG is avalable as both AT & AT2 in 255/60-18. What price difference & which outlet were you at.

Also looking at the data you provided it may appear thet the AT is better. Whats your idea on that.

If you go to this website it gives you more info;
www.generaltire.eu
This has both AT & AT2 amongst others.
Basically the AT is new generation & was developed to beat Europes drive by noise test so it should be quite.
Pricing is good as I was quoted $268 fitted & balanced in 255 x 55 x 19 so 18's should be cheaper.
These will be my next set of every day tyres & will give more confidence than the standard goodyears.
I have a big set of MTZ's to play with but I do not like to run these daily for two reasons
1. Fuel economy - 2 litres per 100 k penalty.
2. Noise.

Guys, there's shedloads of info on these tyres on DISCO3.CO.UK - Index where ajs tyres are one of the forum sponsors.

It's a tyre that's gained a lot of support here for being a slightly cheaper competitor to the Pirelli ATR in the 255/55/19 size. From what I read on here it's significantly cheaper in Oz than the Pirelli so in that instance it would be worth a try.

From a personal perspective I run the ATR on my car and have just this Friday put a new set on ready for shipping to Oz. The main reason I've gone for the ATR over a set of the GG's is wear rate v cost, I've got 44,000 miles out of my ATR's and they still had ~4mm on them, so I've kept 2 as spares. The wear rates for GG's is more round the 30,000 miles area, so given the relatively small price difference here between the GG's & ATR's, the ATR's win hands down for me. I use them regularly offroad on pipeline routes and haven't really had an issue with them, other than deep mud. The GG has a more visibly aggressive pattern than the ATR and I must admit I was tempted to try them, but in the end scored an incredibly cheap set of ATR's so went that way again.

GAry,

Not sure what price but as Chuck was quoted @
$268 there abouts, I'm also going to get a quote. They do look chunkier than the AT2's (more open tread with bigger lugs), so I will consider them, but not ready to replace all 4 tyres yet, just 1 neesd replacing.
I agree the data does look good on them. I am getting the AT2 from JaxQuikfit in Caulfield Sth. But as they supplied the wrong one (AT) they fitted it as my spare till the correct one (AT2) comes in. So yes, available in 255/60/18.

Cheers Neil.

Thanks Mike.

I'm keen to try the new AT out, but as I only need one replaced sticking with the AT2. I'v so far done 43,000km's on them and about down to 60-70% so i'm reasonably happy to date and they have been good on wet roads, snow and mud. Great on dry rocks & ruts. Just don't like clay, but not many tyres do.

Welcome to Melbourne when you get here! It's a great city if you haven't been here before. But I am slightly biased - born & bred here!! Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers,
Neil.

I have a set of GG AT/2 in 265/75/16 waiting on the red wall ones to come in my work then they are going on but the at2 are a top tyre..

Thanks all for the great reply's. Was going to go for AT2 but the newer AT looks interesting to. There going to be fitted as a second set of tyres to my L322 as an round Aus tyre. Local prices $380 so may have to organize something in the big town -Melb.

I think I will be investigating this instead of the AT2's... Like the look of em. How much has been quoted per wheel?
