Just some impressions of my new 16" genuine sawtooths & General Grabber AT2s
They look great and although had little experience so far, they're great off road. Been climbing muddy rutted hills a bit recently that I doudbt I'd have managed on the TRs. They're quiet too and they track well, and the rides good, no drumming as with some MTs but then they are pretty all round tyres. Think it's a pretty unique setup too! No doubt everyone will copy now haha Any questions feel free to send my way, but very happy.

Looks a great combination with the Sawtooths and the black utility. Lots of nice sensible upgrades and nothing superfluous or unnecessary. A true 21st century defender
Out of interest, what is the tread depth on them? Need something to compare mine too! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter |

Hi David What size are your AT2s. I am looking to change my MTs to something more road biased. I borrowed a set TRs they where so much quieter, I am running on 265s on ZU alloys. Cheers John

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'm very happy with it at the moment and enjoying adding little things here and there but as you say I like to keep it fairly simple.
The tyres are 235/85/16 so standard size, I think they're about right personally. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Tread depth is around 8mm, but it's hard to tell really.
Also fitted my genuine spare wheel cover to cover up the one boost alloy that is my spare Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Looks Great
If I had a spare wheel on the back thats definitely the cover I'd have! Thank you for the depth, will have a comparison tomorrow! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter |
