    New rubber suggestions...

    My Trol is in desperate need of new rubber. The existing ones look silly from the side don't you think?

    I think I've narrowed it down to General Grabber AT2's, Hankook RT03's or Cooper STT's but your thoughts are welcomed!

    Also, can you tell me the largest size I can fit without a lift? I think the current ones are 235/80 R16's and thinking I can go to 285/75 R16's or are they too big/too small?

    Cheers guys

    285/75R16 should be alright mate.
    My boss used to have the General Grabbers, and he raves about them all the time. Have you looked at Maxxis tyres?

    Hi yes - The Mudders have the same tread pattern as the Hankooks and about the same price, or did you have something else in mind?

    Nah I would've recommended the Big Horns. I know a lot of people with these tyres and they love them.

    From what I've heard the bighorns are pretty p#ss poor on the wet roads........ Don't forget he lives in the UK, always rains so roads are always wet hahaha and the roads tend to be a bit Windier and narrower than ours........
    Seriously though, all depends on what sort of driving you gonna be doing and where you're gonna be doing it.
    Personally I like the Mickey Thompson 4 rib ATZs

    They look good, but they don't appear to be available over here :-( I'll email them and ask. But yes, very very rainy here unusually! so roadholding in the wet is a factor.
