new general AT or AT2

Looking in to getting 4 new Tyres for the Disco, Been reading the posts and like the sound of the new General AT's,

I can get the AT2's for about £120 cheaper, should I pay the extra and get the new ones? what is the difference?

Cheers

Hi John

went to andy,s (AJS) a little while back to collect some tyres for a friend and had a good look at the new AT and in my opinion its a winner, i dont say that with no experience had some 30 years in the trade and a few years with a large tyre manufacturer in tyre development Thumbs Up

Geoff

ps a set will be going on mine soon Thumbs Up

I can say only this used to have RB rubber swapped it over to ATRs and me is happy so I guess you'd be very happy with AT's

only thing no real world test and proper info on wear of new rubber but what I have read so far is very promising

Same here. The ATR's are well tried & tested on and off road and have won tyre industry awards and independent All Terrain tyre comparison tests. They're also fractionally cheaper then the GG's (Protyre prices).

BUT, hopefully the AT's will be every bit as good as the ATR's, only time will tell.
