Just went out to check my pressures and realised I don't know if I should be running my ATs at standard pressures or something slightly higher like 36/38.
Any thoughts?

I think Andy said earlier in this post that normal pressures would be fine. Cant be bothered to read all the way through again to check though

That was my thoughts
Since posting this I called Andy and he confirmed I should be using the standard LR pressures or slightly higher.
Many Thanks should go to Andy as he answered the phone despite not being open today.

A bit more feedback. Had a set fitted last Thursday to replace Scorpion Zeros with 3-4mm left on them.
Firstly, many thanks Andy for the excellent service - you made my lad's day!
I've done about 800 miles in the past week with a mixture of motorway and A/B roads in snow/ice/slush/rain.
Feels noticeably more nimble/lighter on the steering - in a positive way. No perceptible difference in noise vs the Pirellis. Fuel consumption has been high 20's (manual box) edging 30, marginally better than the Pirellis.
All in all so far so good...

Stock is still holding up on the 255/55x19 General AT.
I know these ATs haven't been around long, but any comments on wear rate and likely life (mileage) yet? I'm seriously thinking of putting a set on mine next, once the Wintracs are worn outPreviously:

RM early indications are that they are no better / worse than AT2's not much help
3mm off in 10k heavy bias to farm work
if those dutch tyres are 4mm or less its time to change

Good choice to fit the General AT as all we have is happy users so far, and the are available from stock.
Does anyone know if the General AT's 255/55/19 will be available in Australia. I don't see them on the generaltire.com.au website, only the AT2's are shown. I have asked General Tires via web contact but have not got a reply as yet.
I currently have General AT2's for daily use and occasional offroad use on my D3 and a set of Cooper STT's (245/70/17) for real bush duites but going down the D4 3.0lt V6 route there is little AT or MT choice available in 19" hence my question about the General AT's for the D4 in Australia.
