Title: New Tyres - 2.5TD XJ
Post by: XJ Fan on April 19, 2014, 12:40:51 PM

Hi all, I'm on the look out for new tyres as I noticed uneven wear on mine a couple of days ago.
I have found some General Grabber GT for just under a ton each, does anyone have experience of these tyres, and if so do you think they are good tyres, and is that a good price for them? (if not, what tyres are recommended? 99% road use)

Also, does anyone have any company recommendations for wheel geometry checks in the South Yorkshire area?

No one has had these tyres? I thought General Grabbers were quite a common choice?

You're right that General Grabbers are quite popular, but as far as I'm aware most that would have had them on here would have had the ATs or AT2s. I had the HTS myself, and they were good.

Forgive me!! But was Jimmy Saville not a general grabber?
