General Grabber A/T

[andolate Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close andolate]

I will be picking up my new GXL D4D on friday and have arranged a set of General Grabbers on them for a changeover of $400.

I could have got a swap over for BFG A/T's but there is a backorder with no definate dates of supply. I also could have got these for c/o of $400.


Having seen some of the quotes on here for trading in the Grandtreks I was pleasantly surprised with how well my local Jax Quickfit here in Echuca looked after me.

I look forward to seeing how the grabbers go. Some very good repots on them on all sorts of vehicles with a very similar tread pattern to the BFG.

just thought I would start a General thread for Pradopoint too as there did not seem to be one.

Cheers,

Kye

This may be of interest to the 150GX Prado fraternity.

General make the Grabber AT2 in 255/70/17 (31") which will fit on a 6.5"x 17" rim according to their fittment page.
No need to upgrade your rims to get the bigger rubber. (Sweet)
I phoned one of their distributors here in the West and was given a price of $404.00 ea.
Didn't ask if this included GST, fitting or disposal of the old carcases.
No stock available in OZ,
Q1, Is this a reasonable price ? .... or are they having a go?
Q2, Anybody else do a decent A/T tyre in the same size?
Q3, (Not Related)Can Moderators add spell check to "Posts"?

Be careful getting an unusual tyre size as if you have a drama somewhere you may not be able to get a replacement.

Re: General Grabber A/T

Thanks Schaffer,
I guess the writing is on the wall, if the W.A. or OZ distributors don't carry any stock then it would be a long wait to get a replacement if I was to get stranded out in the back of beyond.
Hmmm, might be a cunning plan to get stranded in Broome or Exmouth, but knowing my luck and Murphy's Law I would run into trouble around Leonora or Laverton. The fishing in those parts is woefull.
