Just had a set of General Grabber AT fitted to the Disco, very pleased with the ride and handling, looking forward to some green laning in Northumberland this weekend.
They were £159 each fitted, not the cheapest but not to bad and good service at Foxhunter tyres, Whitley Bay. Helping ugly people have sex since 1995 !

My scorpion zeros will be nearing the end of their life soon. Are these okay as a replacement.. Would want mainly road but some mild off roading. Wheels are 19 inch

Most popular choice from all my customers
It's a tyre that "ticks" most boxes IMHO.

Good question, the fitters put 36 all round, is this the right pressure for every day driving unladen ?
P.S. these tyres are so much better than the Pirelli Zeros that were on before, quiet to. Helping ugly people have sex since 1995 !

Standard pressure is fine but if you find a big loss in fuel MPG you can up them to help by 2-4psi, will give a firm ride though.

Had my first try of these with a customer's 2 hour off road session on Thursday, very good in everything but soft mud where they struggled a bit but guess that's to be expected, coped well with most other terrain.

Will second that - marvellous tyres!
Great grip, no tram lining, good wear (mine are 12 months old and look good for at least another 18 months! That is a minor miracle as the Scorpions were cooked to slicks in little over 12 months.) I think I could have got 30,000 out of these tyres if I wasn't picking up my D4 next week.... with Wrangers on it 
Only issue is slight increase in fuel consumption. +2/3psi all round helps.
Oh, and they look 'right'.
