Thread: New General Grabber AT

My local tyre power dealer told me he could do a one off or special order of the GG all terrain however it wouldn't be ordered until January (now) and wouldn't arrive until May/June. I did ask for a price for 5 but haven't heard back yet, I expect it to be frightening..

When I was buying tyres from Tirerack I thought they were going overboard in verifying that the tyres they were about to send were indeed what I wanted, with their ordering people confirming my order then the picking/despatch confirming after picking, but accidents can still happen. I hope it gets sorted without fuss.

A few years ago I enquired about having an MTR size brought in by GY because they decided not to sell that size in Oz anymore (225/75-16). Their estimate of the cost was horrific and delivery time could easily be as much as 6 months because they would only put them in the container if there was room after all the standard Oz sizes were loaded. I bought something else.

I went to Tirerack first, however they don't stock the GG in A/T in that size in the US. It is Europe only. The actual cost is ok, delivery time was fast, just they didn't read the order correctly. And, unfortunately, in their correspondence back to me, all they did was confirm my order, not actually list what they were sending. They have indicated that they will accept return/full refund which is what I am going for. Lets see what happens. As FYI the GG UHP have much thicker sidewall than the Hankooks currently on the car. Seem a much tougher tire. So would be really interesting if I had got the right ones!

I did the same - contacted Goodyear Australia regarding a tyre (Duramax AT) not listed for sale here but freely available in the USA.

Was told it would be six months with horrendous freight costs for standard sea freight.

With service like that it is no wonder people are buying over the internet.

If you feel like a drtive i have a set in stock and can fit up on monday the 9th when i am back at work..

Also sent a PM..

Hi Stornoway.

I've just dropped in to a couple of retailers in Slacks Creek, Sth Brisbane.

Jax can do them for about $310 per tyre, but the closest they have them in stock is Mackay, where there's apparently 4.

Bob Jane quoted $366 per tyre and reckon they could fit them tomorrow, although the guy did say that without checking on availability..

I'm going to wait until I get back home to Canberra and see if I can find a decent supplier there at a reasonable price..
