After reading this thread I ordered a set for my D3. I was going for MT/R`s but these tyres seems like a better option Bernt-Inge

Guys - the answer may be in this thread - just can't find it in the 34(!) pages.
Should I be running the General Grabber AT on the standrd tyre pressures on the card visible when you open the driver's door - or does it need a few PSI up/down?
Thanks in advance

The General AT runs fine at standard pressure but you can up the pressure 2-4 psi if you need to.

I had a set of these as soon as they came out, and ran them for about a year through all weathers and conditions in rural mid west Wales.
I only managed to get 25k miles out the set, and despite that, I have gone for another set, as I have found them to be the very best all round tyres I have ever used. Great on road, great off road. Superb around the farm, great for towing, but they were at their best for me in the 9" snow we had for several weeks around Christmas last year. Hardly anyone was going anywhere around here, but we carried on (almost) as usual in very deep snow on the Welsh hills.
Overall I would say they are brilliant in so many different ways, but I wish that I had gotten the 30k+ miles that they bragged about at the launch. I've previously used scorpions, and AT2's, and I would choose these every time. It's only my opinion after going through a set, but I love them.D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)

An increase in pressure would maybe reduce noise but very, very little.
The General AT is going to be a tad noisier than a standard road tyre, you are only the second to say you notice the noise, most will comment on "no" or very little noise.
Vibration through would mean wheel balance, was the vibration there before you had the new tyres fitted ?
Get the balance checked.

I have had a set of these on since they became available, I am just approaching 25 k with them and they still have some life left yet.
The noise is definately more than with the P Scorpians I had previously but they are a far better tyre which suit the mixture of on/off road I do and have lasted a lot longer then the P Scorpians.
Locally, they are a lot cheaper than the previous tyres as well so all round in my opinion.
I will defo be fitting them again whent he time comes
