Hi
Has anyone noticed the Grabber At (19") to get noisy as they get older?
Thanks
Paul

You will get some noise from the tyres as they get low especially if you have any uneven wear.

D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all

Glad you said it before me DSL 
19" ATR's are being phased out, but they were still being produced in February. So I'd buy a set of 5 just in case, they'll last for c.50k miles. No increase in noise as they wear and a robust sidewall .
They don't look as "hard" as the AT though, which is important to some.

I would say the GG AT new style I have on now are worse. Never noticed a noise on the D3 with with the old ones
SWMBO thought there was something wrong with it. D4 HSE - Aintree Green
D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all
D3 silver manual. Loved my first LR

Compared to my previous set of Pirelli Scorpian ATR's, find Grabber AT's very noisy.
Great tyre though, although less noise and more fuel efficiency with the Pirellis.

I really hope not 
Our D3 was a joy and no issues,
This one has issues with selecting gears or staying in Drive at least, Heated Screen has gone bad, MPG is pants compared to D3
If this is another issue will have to reconsider D4 HSE - Aintree Green
D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all
D3 silver manual. Loved my first LR

Ah, just twigged you're in a D4. At least anything wrong is paid for by the good peeps at Tata.
