reb78 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The D2 will probably need new tyres soon. BFG dont make an AT in the right size - 255/65/16. The General Grabber AT3 does come in that size which would be my next choice. BUT... are there any cheaper alternatives out there with similar performance (perhaps not the same longevity)? Reason for asking is that the D2 needs something each year at MOT time and I dont know how much longer we will keep it running without some significant work. As a result, I was contemplating not spending as much on tyres as I normally do but I dont want something ****ty on there given that my other half drives the little one around in it. Any thoughts on a compromise? (I dont want remoulds... and am not een on second hand tyres). Needs to do roads, grassy fields and the ice/snow comfortably.

Chicken Drumstick Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Don’t know if they do anything in your size. But I have got on well with Maxxis tyres in the past. I know you said you don’t like remoulds. But have also run many with no issue. I think Fedima might do a BFG AT style in a size that would suit.

cackshifter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yokohama A/T G015? (After a quick search, no idea how good they are) Would it be possible to have a slightly different size maybe to get more choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Had these Yokohama's on my S1 V8 Looked a bit odd as small dia but very wide and like a quad bike tyre. Although called mud diggers the side wall said snow tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 14 hours ago, reb78 said: The General Grabber AT3 Are they any better than the General Grabber ATs (if I remember they did something silly like there was an AT which then got renamed as AT² and the AT was the new version)? Anyway I digress - I had a two sets fitted to my old 3.6 TDV8 L322 (255/55R19) and in my honest opinion they were a pile of urine. No tyre lasted more than 10k, if they made it that far. I had 3 sidewalls destructions (two would have admittedly taken out most tyres but the third was a twig), those that survived sidewall damage started cracking up after ~10k and I didn't trust then, they were brand new tyres when fitted. Replaced with a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs (yes I know not technically speed rated) and they were much much better, possibly slightly noisier but when you're cruising in the comfort of an L322 cabin outside noise is largely a thing of the past. I'm also looking to replace the carp that came with my 4.4 TDV8 now with something that'll at least work in this area when it gets wet and wintery (the Pirelli Scorpions are useless on grass, even if dry) but there's little option for an even slightly all terrain tyre for a 20" wheel apart from the General Grabbers.

bishbosh Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If you want BFG AT’s they do a 245 x 70 which is only a tiny bit taller and would be fine on your D2 in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
