As my jimny is a daily driver ive decided not to go to big or silly with tyres. And stick to an A/T tread.

What are the opinions on General Grabbers.
as i can get a full set fitted for a little over 300 notes.

I'm really happy with my AT2's and supposedly the new AT's are better :unsure:

check out landy forums as they've been using the new AT's for a while

that's a really good price, so go for it and then you let everyone know what they're like ;)

As said above, the AT2's are great!

Never been stuck, and i've done a a fair amount of greenlaning with mine!

Grip in 4inches of snow was suprising... i could drive almost normally! and i noticed the jeep was happy to cut is own path through the snow, where as i found the standard Bridgestones preferred to run in other tracks

I had AT2s 205/75/15 on my old Jimny and they were brilliant, my mate has got the new updated ATs on his Nissan Pathfinder and they have transformed his car.I have now got a new Jimny so I'm back to the Bridgestones.

dont buy those ^^^

the new general grabber design is not as good at it used to be

ive had general grabber *AT2* for 2 years on a jimny and shogun and they are probably the best tyres you can get

my boss also had them on his hiliux


a year on after my shogun and it broke down I got another jimny, I then wanted a set of at'2s

cant get them any more, they have a new design, my boss also got a new hilux ( old hilux was on finance etc)

wanted at2's as i did and he cant, so he got the newer grabbers and they are not as good


get bf goodrich all terrains and they are the equivelant to at2's

camskill still have the old ones advertised at 388 for 5,and the modulars come in at 198,they have a -7mm offset wich makes them look perfect in the arches.and makes the jimny less rolley.

OK if you can get goodrichs for £300.
don't loose sight of your criteria
agree that goodrich are most likely better off-road than the new grabber AT style
but grabber AT's will be almost certainly better on road, whilst still giving some off-road scope

I've got these as my daily driver tyres www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/tyres/2357515w...white-lettering.html

and I've found them great on the road, in rain and on slippery mud trails. Haven't had a chance to try them in snow yet but all the reviews I've read say they're good.
