chrispti Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Bfg at's or general grabber at's are worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD1927 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 General grabbers for me all the way good 50/50 tyre and should get 40,000 miles plus from a set if you rotate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhead Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 insa tyres are ok think the dakar maybe a remould, the insa turbo special track is. for an a/t the bfg is great if you can afford them , the m/t has changed tread pattern, the old one was great but havent tried the new pattern, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_evil Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Maxxis mudders, slightly more aggressive than a standard AT but awesome I have no problems with them on road either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 General Grabbers sitting on the Ranger at the moment, wearing well, no problems yet. tempting fate now or what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil3728 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Insa turbo Dakar is the same tread patten as the old BFG M/T so more aggressive then an AT. The Wrangle is the AT tread. All Insa tyres are remoulds I have both the wrangler for normal driving and special track is I fancy a run in the mud. They are good tyres, I just would just not run up and down the motorway with them day in day out. Not sure how well they last covering lots of miles per year.

BrowningDJC Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have the general grabber at2 and am very pleased with them, although looking back i would have fitted a set of maxxis buckshot mudders, they wear very well in my experience, minimal road noise for an m/t tyre and very capable offroad.

Trevorevans Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Buy the best you can afford and that would be BFG or Grabbers. Personally as a recreational off road driver I wouldn't go anywhere near insa or any other remoulds for that matter. That's only my opinion and I know plenty of people that are happy with them but mostly these people only use their tucks off road. To quote one mate he said that on road handling was just a little more than scary lol. Edited December 27, 2012 by Trevorevans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) General grabbers for me all the way good 50/50 tyre and should get 40,000 miles plus from a set if you rotate them How many !!. I put a set of Grabber AT2s on my Discovery at about 125,000 miles. Over the last four years I have lost 3 of them to punctures but the 4th is still going (but needs changing as tread is getting low) and still on the same wheel and corner it started on. Milage currently 248.000. Use is 90% road and includes maybe 30% towing a 2.7 ton trailer. Road noise, ride and handling no different from the Continental road tyres they replaced. AT2s or BFGs all the way for me. A Edited December 27, 2012 by Alycidon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know hwta i think to them once fitted. Just an update.. ive given the Dakars a good testing on my freelander and must say im very impressed they do whine a bit on the road as expected, they seem fine even in the wet driven carefully. The Dakars are very good on my muddy shoots at the moment ive not even come near to getting stuck yet. As my freelander is just my shoot vehicle i reckon ive made a good choice.
