Thread: New General Grabber AT

Thanks bootfid for the advice the other day. I have 4 x 275/40 R20 General Grabber ATs on order from UK. Will post when they arrive total cost etc. To date cheaper than Cooper Zeon 275/45 R20, which unfortunately are an illegal fit in QLD. To go onto a TDV8 RRS. I have totaled one Hankook Ventus ST already.

No probs mate good to talk to you have been trying to get them from the US back they have not got to me as yet..

Ok ordered tyres last Tuesday, delivered this Tuesday. Cost delievered was $1500.
I am not at home (at work until after Xmas) but my wife says all arrived in good condition, no issues. Outfit I used was Alloywheels.com in UK (Rochford tyres) no issues with them. Looking forward to seeing how they are. Re cost, while not exactly cheap certainly better than Conti's and very competive with Cooper Zeons 275/45 R20, which I was concerned about wrt to warranty/legal issues. Local ARB offered my a "great" deal on Coopers at 475 per tire fitted. Tyrepower quoted around 350-375.
So hopefully should have a good tire, at reasonable price, of correct size/rating, in A/T for my RRS.

In the General Tire AT brochure listed in the original post this page Untitled 4 lists a 265/60 R18 and a 265/65 R18 LT. Does anyone know if these sizes are available in Aust?

Each time I have asked a General Tire dealer they have indicated that only the 255/60 R18 version is available.

Oh what does OWL mean after the tyre size??

Thanks

Hi mate in the GG bokk its got in the 65sers it a 275/65/18AT2
in 60sers its a 265/60/18 in a HTS which is highway..

OWL is Outlined White Lettering

Just completed 18 days through the Vic High Country on a set of 19" GG AT tyres, knocking up a total of 1479.2 kms on high country tracks including Lake Cobbler, Monument, Mt Stirling, Bluff, King Billly , Butcher Country, Zeka Spur, Wonnangatta, Wombat Range, Billy Goat Bluff, Junction Spur, Crooked River, Basalt Knob, Blue Rag Range, Davies Plain, Mt Pinnibar, Mt Gibbo, Mt Anderson & Wombat Creek Tracks. Some of these are very rocky or have sharp shale outcrops. I ran the tyres at 25psi and we were fully loaded with all our gear for the whole duration. On day 16 coming off Mt Gibbo I ended up with a small tear in a sidewall which is fixable. Overall the tyres were pretty impressive considering what they were asked to do because on 19" rims there is not a lot of sidewall left at 25psi. The sides looked like they have been sandpapered but there are no chips out of the treads. I was travelling with a D3 with 17" Goodyear MTR's and the rocks wore through the side walls into the white casing on 3 of these. The rim protector ribs on the GG AT's did a pretty good job too, as I only have slight abrasions on one rim. I was very skeptical about how these tyres would go given the nature of these tracks (I carried 2 spares) but have to say they performed extremely well.
Cheers.

Just got home and walked into garage - wrong tires delivered from UK. I ordered 275/40 R 20 A/T General Grabbers from Alloywheels.com (Rochford Tyres). They delivered 275/40 R20 UHP General Grabbers. Totally the wrong tyre. They had the correct ones in stock, but did not read the order correctly. This is Paypal dispute, I have requested return/full refund as am not interested in on selling or keeping these. So the first adventure into online tyre purchasing has been less than successful. Lucky I don't need the tyres in a hurry!
