Hi all does anyone no what the general grabber road tyres are like for wear and road noise before I buy a set cheers

Well my General Grabber ATs are pretty quiet and the previous AT2s have lasted well. Very good off road too. Didn't realize they made 'road' tyres.

Ok thanks for that will give them a try

The AT2s 'slap' a bit at speed, especially noticeable on concrete roads. I consider it a small price to pay for the off-road grip.

Really? I've never noticed that. The newer ATs are supposedly even quieter.

Had the 'joy' of travelling to Kent this week. Some of the surfaces on the M25, M26, M20 area are concrete and I definitely noticed tyre noise that I hadn't heard before. I can only describe it as a rhythmical slap and it definitely came and went with the various road surfaces, some of which I can only describe as atrocious. Not just me, I heard it also from some vehicles over-taking me.
