Place I use now, grabbers for £82.57 a corner

The KPC is a copy of a Michelin, basicly a road tyre & fill up with mud very easily

OK, you're not going to find "grabbers at2" on ebay. As Stew and Steve have said, you
are looking for "General Grabber AT2s". The Brand is "General Grabber" and this model is the
"AT2". OK?

That's not how search engines work.

plenty of grabber at2's on ebay. It's best putting in the fewest keywords as possible otherwise you'll not see the ones being miss-advertised

I wasn't telling her how to search on ebay, I was telling her what the tyres she needs to look for are called.

Hmm...to help Momos and other rookies...do what I did ....go n talk as I said to a local clued in tyre depot and see what they offer  they are much better long term than a cheap ebay deal...

Contrary to what some imply google does not fit tyres as well

actually, the larger the tyre the easier it is to fit, it can be harder to balance 4wd tyres tho cos of the large amount of rubber they use for tread depth.

I'd say the taller the sidewall the easier to fit, by a long long way. Little skinny low profile tyres on 20" rims are a mare.

44" tyres on a 15" rim, just show them the rim and they'll fall on  :lol:

Bigger the sidewall the more flex in the bead, much easier to push over the rim. Some remoulds can be a mare due to stiff/thick sidewalls though
