Grabber AT2

Are the AT2 tyres much more of an agressive tyre than the standard Goodyear Wranglers fitted Confused

They're quite a bit more aggresive, but nowhere near the MTR or STT tyres.

Dom Harvey runs them all the time for a good road/offroad compromise

Much less noise than the MTR's and STT's too. Actually I think they are slightly cheaper than the road tyres anyway and the tread does last.

England 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Auto Java Black

I have AT2'S fitted all the time, they seem to wear better than the scorpions (cant be hard Evil or Very Mad ) and handle well enough in most conditions, £117 fitted from local independant tyre guy Thumbs Up

They have knocked a couple of miles to the gallon off though, but still worth it Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Been running them for 8 months on and off road, no problem as they just give you that extra grip off road.They are as quite as road tyres and I find them as good as BFGs. steve w

I second that - been running AT2s for 30k miles now and really pleased - comparable with the BFGs which I originally was hoping to fit and then found unavailable in the correct size Confused

No issues with balancing, fine on road and alot better than the standard rubber off road.

D3 now stood in AT2s - 30 miles in and v happy - thanks to Andy & AJS boys for a very quick tyre change this lunchtime Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

latest investment in the D3 kind of gets under the radar of SWMBO - "we need new tyres dear" - although I think even she may notice the difference in the tread pattern between AT2 and the old Zeros!!

start thinking about what next to buy......... Confused
