    New tyres for Disco 4 2016 for a desert trip

    Hi Everyone.
    Without trying to start a new world war I am thinking of replacing my
    not so good Contintental 4X4 contact with Pirelli Scorpion AT plus but also
    looking at General Grabber AT3 .

    My research suggest that the Grabbers will end up with more sidewall damage.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW for six months of the year tow a 2.6 T caravan.

    Cheers

    Perhaps some info on your proposed 'desert trip' would help with relevant advice on tyre/wheel selection Additional info on where you tow your van may also help in determining if there is a suitable tyre/rim combo suitable for both your desert trip and your 'day to day' towing requirements

    Agree with DeanoH comments & also there's lots of threads about various tyres in 19" already.
    Use the Google Custom Search at the bottom of every page here, which only searches within the forum.

    Thanks to both of you.
    The Google search does not bring much up about the latest version tyres I
    am looking at though.
    Cheers

    I saw a You tube clip of Andrew St Pierre White where he is trialling the AT3's and he says that they are better than the AT2's off road but Not as good on the black top.

    By latest I assume you mean the Grabber AT3?
    Here's two threads using google search with terms "grabber at3 19 d4"

    D4 and General Grabber AT3
    19" AT Tyres for D4 /RRS

    Pirelli's release blurb mentions stronger sidewalls than their outgoing ATR and generally designed more for off-road use than the ATR. My L322's next set of boots is expected to be these in 275/55R20 although they're LI 114 whereas the 19" version is LI 111.

    General Grabber AT3 is a very good tyre. We’ve fitted many sets to Discovery 4 & have received excellent feedback. Very quiet on the road too.
