Thread: New General Grabber AT

I've noticed a slight flutter-type whine at speed but I've also noticed that with higher tyre pressure it has reduced (I run them at 42 psi after trying them at 36psi) so not that noticeable most of the time. Careful driving I'm getting 7.1 l/100km indicated but averaging 9.5 - 10 l/100km measured brim to brim.

Hi, All
Another weekend in the high-country, again based at Granny's Flat ... must be the lure of the vanilla slices at Perkins & Grey cafe in nearby Jamieson .
Anyway, the General ATs did all that was asked of them. Definitely happy with them. The way I look at it, I'm now confident when off-road that the tyres are capable ... a confidence I didn't have with the Wranglers. Makes for much more enjoyable tripping off the made stuff.

We just did 1200km over Easter after having the GG ATs fitted. Best upgrade! I'd even say that they're quieter on the road than the OEM Wranglers but buzz at a lower frequency, which makes them more noticable at first. Even my wife commented how much quieter they are around town.

Worked exceptionally well in the sand @ 20psi near Robe on Sunday too...

Just ordered a set of 255/55 19 GG AT to replace scorpion zeros ... Ta to you all for the comments, will provide some further comments once they've done a few kms.

Me too. Ordered 5 GG AT 255x55R19 from from Jax at Artarmon $288/tyre. They are going on on Monday. Just clocked up 55K on the wranglers - they are getting a bit hairy in the wet now - lucky we've been having a bit of dry weather lately.

Hi People,
Got my GG AT's a week last Saturday took them out for a run over Easter, got them for $275 each balanced and fitted, bought six so I got a good deal, I thnk. Very happy with them. One thing I did notice was that when towing with the CC on I was more susceptible to the traction control kicking in and knocking off the CC. I think I have to play around with tyre pressures, the rears were ten degrees warmer than the fronts at the end of the trip.
I've got the LR tank and the DW carrier, drawers and fridge so I have a lot of weight on the back, the old Cooper HT's plus tyres had a higher load rating and ran cooler but they punctured easily on gravel. I haven't run the GG's on gravel yet so I don't know, the tread looks better than the Coopers if thats worth anything.........

Nomad9, We recently completed "The Lap" towing a 2t single axle ATV caravan and the back of the D3 full of goodies. Ball weight approx 220kg

Found running the GGs 42psi rear and front 38psi on the highway gave me all round even wear on the tyres. Don't know about the temps though. Quite a few Ks on gravel and no punctures after dropping a few psi.

31,000ks on that trip and reckon have got an easy 70,000+ out of the set. Just about to get a fresh set order in the next week or 2.

Just had one rear wheel alignment issue that saw a tyre getting the flick due to excessive wear.

Had new 19" (255/55/R19) General Grabber AT fitted today to replace the factory Goodyears on my new D4. Very happy after the drive home. Slightly different pitch road noise but still very quiet. And as others have noted they have a much more satisfactory pattern and side lugs for off road.

Have to say a really huge thank-you to the guys at Tyrepower Camberwell. They really look after you and take real pride in their work. I recommend them to others. Great prices too!
