Replied by Halford on topic Re: TYRE SIZES
originally set mine for tarmac at 23/26 have since changed to 24/27 - I've noticed a huge improvment in ride, harsh crashing over bumps/holes has gone, now simply thuds, much more acceptable. Handling also greatly improved, much better grip, my wet handling has significantly improved.
Adam, were your old tyres actually Dueler HT694's, although my rears only had 3mm (whilst fronts had 7mm) so maybe that's why they were sooooo bad when wet.

:pinch: The grabber AT2's have gone up nearly £90 for 5 fitted via BlackCircles since I got mine last month and the new AT's at most places are close to their RRP £109.26 but TyreTraders have the new GENERAL 205/75R15 97T GRABBER AT at £ 66.60 (4 off delivered for £279.84)
If money's tight you'd only need to get 4 of the new style AT's as future availability isn't an issue, personally, I'd print out the tyretraders quote for 4 off at £279.84 and take it to a local tyre shop and ask them to match the quote (+ their fitting charge obviously)
