Factory fitted with Pirelli 60:40 on:off road tires, followed by my fitting 3 sets of Michelin 4x4 Synchrone 60:40s. Purchased my P38 2.5 DSE new in May 2000. (and no, I am not being paid to say that.) Traditionally I swap tires winter to summer (off road tires used to be a pain in summer, and I have a second set of rims.) but I have stopped bothering with summers since the last set wore out - with these there seems no point. Incredibly good in deep snow (remember the Beast from the East?) and sub zero temperatures - the best I have ever driven. From my experience just as good as a good road tire. I don't drive hard enough in the dry to know much about dry handling etc., but the AT3's are excellent to drive in the wet.
These were significantly more expensive and definitely no better - but they are getting old and of course tire technology is (I hope.) continuously improving each year.
Traditionally I have used Goodyear Wrangler AT's and BF Goodrich AT's (and still have a set on an Jeep CJ7 that I also use - it only does a couple of thousand miles a year so they refuse to wear out.). Also some green laning in Wales! As regards longevity, the 43,000 represents the highest figure I have ever got out of a set of tires, and it is only the fronts which are now on the limit.
General grabbers at3 plus#
Numerically most miles generally round town and motorway, but frequent/significant grass, mud and gravel, plus hundreds of miles of snow each year (in the Alps). This tire replaced the General GRABBER AT2. These tires are approved for speeds of up to 150 mph and as an all-season tire, the Grabber AT3 bears the M+S mark and the snowflake symbol to signify safe handling on snow-covered surfaces. The Grabber AT3 will be available in 44 sizes for rims between 15 and 20 inches, with an additional 20 LT and C sizes to follow in the spring of 2017. In off-road use, grip in mud and on wet grass has been improved and the tire presents higher resistance to tread damage than its predecessor. On wet and dry surfaces, the new Grabber AT3 performs at the same high level as its predecessor, while traction on snow has been substantially improved. The balanced block geometry of the tread with low stiffness and the specially modified arrangement of the blocks in the center of the tread reduce vibration in the tire, providing good ride comfort on the road. The third technology, known as “ComfortBalance” demonstrates the developers’ success in overcoming the conflicting interests of ride comfort on road and good off-road grip. This combination of design features boost the self-cleaning properties of the tread, permits good interlocking with loose surfaces and provides a large number of edges to deliver grip in every direction. “DuraGen”, is a rubber compound that provides excellent rip resistance and improves mileage in rough terrain. The technologies consist of “TracGen”, which includes an open shoulder design, traction ridges which the developers call “traction pockets and sipes arranged at different angles to enhance grip properties.
