Marccus Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Evening all, Having nearly worn out my General Grabber AT2 235/85/16 tyres I am now looking to replace them on my Defender 90. Before I logically buy the Grabber AT3's is there any other recommendations please? I mainly use the truck on road about 75% and the 25% off road. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 They’re expensive but BF Goodrich k02’s are by far the most aggressive (best) looking tyres and last very well too. I run a set of 265/70/17’s on my L200 and can’t fault them, but I think most are up to the job for the usual sort of off roading/road work. Maxxis Wormdrive are a great A/T for the money, look smart and get really good reviews, as do the general grabbers to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonm Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I had 2 sets of Maxxis Bravo 771 on my Disco they were excellent in mud, deep snow and on road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 BFG’s first, last and every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Another vote for the bfg ko2’s I have them on my wildtrack, nearly a year in and they’re performing great on and off road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Have a look at Maxxis Wormdrives. I have them on my Hilux and have been really impressed for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I always use AT3’s on my Dmax, excellent. I’ve had 3 Dmax and change the tyres as soon as I buy the new one as I can’t fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouser Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 always had BFGs 285-75-16s on my surf {15yrs} just needed to replace 2, but when i saw the price £200+ each, went with maxxis wormdrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest that’s part of the issue. 75mph flat out but then the hills kill it . they’re amazing tho off road . I just drive into our splash to feed 😂. 17 hours ago, Walker570 said: Run'em a touch harder. It’s just the engine I think nev . 1.5 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I’ve been impressed with the toyo open country at. The tyre place we use at work recommended them and so far over 20k they look hardly worn. What’s even better is economy is very nearly the same and the price they are massively less than the bfg’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawdor118 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I know a guy with a wheel refurbishment firm, so as you would guess he is fitting more tires than the average bear. He swears that the new Pirelli Scorpion AT's are the absolute best thing since sliced bread. Beating BFG's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have these on a L200 Barbarian (175BHP) - ~30mpg to ~25mpg. tad aggressive on the road but great off road, sloppy wet fields, grass (which i find is hardest to get traction). Not tried in snow yet. They physically are a heavy tyre due to being remoulds, thicker side wall and the obvious additional block thread pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
