The General Grabber AT2 is available in 255/55x18. They are, of course,
relatively pricey in that size. Craddocks list them at £125 ea. inc VAT.
How do they rate for general use with occasional playdays?
I have wranglers (255/55x18) on my D2. The fronts are down to 3mm and
could do with being replaced. The rears are relatively new and the spare
is untouched. I am not keen on the Wranglers and would like some
alternatives. Just now, I have 16in steel rims on with Colway ATs for
playing in. They are a bit vague on the road (could be pressures) but
seem good off it and I can replace the entire set, wheels and all, for
less than the price of one new alloy and tyre. The ride is noticeably
less harsh than the wranglers. I am considering finding a set of 16in
alloys to give me a wider choice of cheaper tyres. Any suggestions?
