I just love them as a summer tire.
Quiet on road, and they have this classic look which suits a Defender well. I still bought a full new set now almost 2 years ago. Eric  Click image to enlarge You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

I've got TRs with about 65000 on them, nowhere near the wear bars, but the sipes are starting to disappear. I'm going to change them soon just because they are nearly ten years old and sidewalls are starting to perish. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Are these a popular tyre? I have 10 of them with loads of tread left on them maybe I should put them up for sale, they aren't a tyre I really like, much prefer BFG all year round myself. 2015 HT XS 90

^^^^ Not a fan myself either, and yes they will sell for not too bad money if they are in decent condition.

I may need to replace my General Grabbers soon, what are the other choices if people don't rate them here, just need a good road tyre that will do summer and winter, are coopers any good?

Cooper STT or BFG ATR or KM2. I prefer the latter but am bias. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️

A nearby tyre expert used to offer 50 (inc VAT) to dealers upgrading new take offs to other makes and patterns on GG TR's. He got left with a 20' container load of them and struggled to move them on.
I think he took a hit on them even at cost. I think Mr Whippy got the lot for not a lot of money! 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS.. |
