Hello All, just a bit of info/feedback on my new tyres...
Just bought a set of General Grabbers for my GU Patrol & I must say I'm not impressed.... The guy at Tyrepower did tell me they were an aggressive tyre, but I had no idea how aggressive. They are NOISY, LUMPY and NO GOOD on the bitumen. When moving off from stand still, I thought a uni joint was about to let go (similar vibration), sends a shudder through the car. But it turned out to be the 'blocky' tread on the tyres!? Then I got up to 60km/hr and the noise really started whining, 80km/hr and the steering wobble started... What the **** I thought. Had it back at Tyrepower 4 times, 4 re-balances and 2 wheel alignments and still the same issue. Never had this problem with my Cooper tyres, was smooth as (For a big heavy vehicle)
Anyways, I told Tyrepower I was not at all impressed, they basically said "Tough luck, you own them now." At $1800 for the set, I'm more than a little peeved...
