Just looking to do the first tyre change on my D4 so this thread looked perfect! I had been considering the General Grabber AT2's, mainly road but also spends time on wet muddy grass fields clearing up after trade fairs. No mention of theses so far in the thread, are these not rated fitted on the D4??

Both ATRs and DuraTracs are great tyres. IMHO DuraTracs if you're into heavier offroading or mud driving ATRs if you're more likely to do motorway driving with some offroading, although ATRs will handle the ruff and tuff, they are noiser and on long journeys I prefer the quiet of the ATRs.

Agreed, ATRs unless you spend all your time up to your ar$e in deep gloop. Thumbs Up

Discerning choice. Mr. Green

Really? Must be some kind of logic there!!! I do have a worry about the lack of Tarmac road performance for the more off-road focused At's, is this justified?

If so of the more road biased tyres which has the best off road performance on surfaces such as wet grass? The scorpians look to have a fairly deep aggressive tread?

Pretty much sums it up Thumbs Up

I do over 20k pa miles on road and go off-road every week. The Pirelli ATR's perfectly suit my needs. Quiet on road, virtually the same road holding manners and mpg as the Pirelli Zero. Plus I can get 50k miles per set.

I have DuraTracs on my MY10 workhorse, because some of my clients place need serious offroading to get to and we don't tend to do long road trips in her anymore.

If not DuraTracs, ATRs are the only other choice for me, and I've tried ATs and AT2s. So much so, when we've warn out the 20" P-zeros on SWMBOs MY16 I'll be putting 19" wheels with ATRs on.

Duratrac's.

The true discerning tyre choice. Thumbs Up

On my 2nd set and have done nearly 50k with them fitted.
You can get them for as low as £106 a tyre if you watch the prices as they go up and down.

Rotate the tyres front to back every few K to give even wear for noise.
I've not had any issues with them for handling in any weather condition, only the deepest of mud has caught me out.

Would climb hills that my mates D4 with GG AT tyres couldn't.

I have an 08 Disco 3. I believe JLR recommends V speed rated tyres (255/55 R19 111V). Where do you stand legally if you fit something with a lower rating?

you need to fit the same rating or above or risk insurance not paying out if you have an accident

Welcome Never.

RogB is 100% right - but of course you could ask your insurers in advance what their attitude might be?

In any event if you move to a "non-standard" wheel or tyre you should advise your insurers.
