Your run on 19's is great, probably way better than anyone on here....

I suppose I will have to go the general grabbers for my next trip!

Why not,you might save a few $$$,umm,unless you wreck one or two...

I am running the GG AT2 in 275 65 18 on my new ride.

After 4000 k I have found them to be excellent on road both wet & dry.

Good on gravel roads.

Have not really been in mud yet.

My only criticism would be that they seem to pick up the recycled concrete we put down on site & then stay in the tread for a while.

The tread is very deep so perhaps this is the reason.

$350 ea fitted & balanced.

What size rims are you running?

If you are planning trips like that I think there are better options. Although the AT2 looks like a BFG they don't perform as well. I had a lot of problems with chipping on rough roads/tracks with them on my D3. Also ran the AT for a while but didn't do enough rough stuff to form an opinion.
