Rodewaryer Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Anyone have experience with these (Dunlop Rover A/T)? I'm coming off of a set of the excellent Pirelli scorpion A/T's that are no longer available and find nothing in Pirelli's line up that will compare.

The Dunlop's aren't a tyre, sorry, 'tire' available in the UK. Try ask over at Discoweb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodewaryer Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks, never considered a General as many locals consider them a risk being budget tires/tyres. However if they're good.....I'll look into them anyway. A Dunlop not available in the UK.....I didn't expect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I would say the Grabber AT2 is the next best thing to a BFG AT personally, and a useful amount cheaper. I don't really think Dunlop have much market penetration at all in the UK 4x4 market, you certainly don't see them advertised much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 My Ranger is getting a set once the standard tyres are worn out. Can't give a better recommendation than putting your own money into a product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodewaryer Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Looking at the rating system of one our tire/tyre suppliers I see the General rates fairly highly, 5th out of 20 tires rated. Pretty good for one with a 'generally' poor reputation. I think the car range of products might be the ones as the source of that reputation.

BogMonster Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Possibly. The Grabber MT's were certainly extremely popular tyres here, sadly no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwriyadh Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Agree with the Scorpion A/Ts, superb for the Disco. Have a look round for Dunlop RV Major. Used them in 31x10.5 on 15x8 rims for the Series, did a great job. That size would probably screw up the gearing on a Disco, but they may be available in taller sizes. Failing that go for it on a set of proper Dunlop sand tyres in 900x16, bodywork will require re-working here and there, they are the dogs danglies. As long as it don't rain a lot where you are. jw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodewaryer Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Looking for Dunlop Sand Tires, pretty much all I get is ATV and Motorcycle applications. Do they look anything like any of those at this site: http://www.dunloptires.com/catalog/suv.html Regarding the obsolete Pirelli's, you'd think I'd learn, I've been through this with Pirelli before and really just wish we knew when they were going to drop a product line.......I'd have stocked myself with another set at least.
