It made no difference at all to the mpg.The new ones have a different tread pattern. |

Walnad, would highly recommend getting the "General Grabber AT", had them on my last 4x4 and found them fantastic, they made light work of the bad snowfall of 2010, whilst other 4x4 drivers thought they were invincible and came off the road.

The AT2 doesn't seem to be available in the standard FL2 17" size (235/65/17), however, the AT is. I'm currently thinking of ATs for my next change. I had them years ago on an Isuzu and found them very good then - hopefully even better now. |

Had 4 General grabber AT 235/65/R17 108H XL fitted back in december, no noticeable increase in noise or fuel consumption, replaced the original conti's, they certainly seem to shift standing water a lot better. There is a thread here: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic12817.html |

Wrong the best tyre ever was the no longer available Wrangler MT/R Brilliant in mud, even better on snow, made more noise than motorhead, and lasted ages because it was ridiculously deep tread when new - standard for G4 Side walls more puncture resistant than a nuns knickers. Ok they don't like white lines above 70mph - keep off the white lines No longer available in UK (& Europe?) due to new stupid noise regulations. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner |

I had them - and was not overly impressed - to such a degree I would never buy another set, and If i changed car and they came supplied I would remove them immediatly Compared to vredstrein Wintracs, good year Ultrasnow, or P Zero's they had very poor grip on damp roads. though were excellent in the mud, or on grass. I found them very noisy If I recall correctly I had 255 55 18's on standard 18" rims fuel economy worst than Goodyear Ultragrip. I also found them very soft round the bends. just my 2 pennies worth .. each to their own. they did look the part though |
