I'd decided on Hankook 19s when a mate said Grabbers. ?

Hi All

Ive read all the posts on all the threads over the years and was pretty committed to Hankooks. They seem to get a good review here. Then my mate spoke to his local Bob Jane who told him General Grabbers are the way to go.

I don't recall reading much on the Grabbers in 19". Any thoughts?

Looking for a tough tyre to handle harsh shaley roads. Don't intend to to any rock hopping and will avoid mud where possible.

thanks in advance

I've had GG ATs and GG AT2s in 18s. They have overall been good, not too noisy, good traction on and off road but there are varied opinions on them from people on here. My main complaint specially with the ATs is that they do seem to get quite a few cuts in the sidewalls, none have been serious for me but they are certainly noticeable, I would be concerned that if you do a lot in sharp rough shale that you might also suffer from this.

I have had the Grabber AT 19" on my D4 since new, I have found that about 50% wear they become quite noisy. The noise makes you think you've got a wheel bearing or diff going.

Am on my second set at 90K changed at around 52K

Would suggest you first check tread wear rating, as Hankook usually give good wear service, and in 20 years of them I have never had a "fail", and I drive in difficult remote areas.

Aaron40 got his OEM tyres swapped for grabbers after a week of ownership James.
Perhaps he can post how he finds them,unsure if he has beached his yet bro.

Best price for Hankook Dynapro RTF10 was BJ in Osborne park at $325 each.
Over east they can get them below $300.
How does that compare to GG's.

What are the Hankooks like for noise?

I have had both in the 19 inch, I found the GG sounded terrible at 80kph to 90kph once I had a few KM on them,( sounds like a failed wheel bearing) other than that, no punctures or bad handling issues.

Currently have the Hankooks on and so far so good, have been able to do a lot more 4wd work on these and have performed well, have aired them down to 10psi at Calcup Hill and stayed on the rim with no issues ( looks bloody scary )

There next test will be the Green Oval advanced training down south weekend in October with Gordon. I expecting a bit more mud and different conditions to what I normally experience ( sand and beach work )

My only other comment is they don't hang on as well on a wet road. The original factory Wranglers were much better on the road, which I managed about 50,0000 km with.

18,000km in on the Hankooks and I reckon they are quiet!

That said it is all in the 'ear' of the beholder.

Remember what is quiet to me maybe noisy to you!

Very good, they don't bother me at all
