New General Grabber AT's 255/60R18's

Hi I do not want to seem like a complete Censored but are the Grabber AT's directional. I have just had 4 fitted and there is bluish/white line on them and they have been fitted with this line on the inside on the Drivers side and on the outside on the passenger side.

Sorry if this is really stupid - but I always been tought the only stupid question is the un-asked one Confused

Thanks Sylfest

Thanks Geoff - good to hear - hope you are well.

Hi Choppa - thanks for the reply - the line in on the tread - so not white walls.

Now you all know they are directional, if you drive fowards they go fowards and if you drive backwards they go backwards. Rolling with laughter

Thanks Adny & Disco Dunc - I have just pushed it up and down the road and your right they do go in both directions Whistle a bit difficult to see now that it is dark.

As always the support, knowledge and help on this forum is second to none.

Cheers Sylfest

disagree, the mud seems to be omnidirectional and they are slightly flatter on the bottom. Surely they must be fitted in a certain way to achieve this.

Hi Chalky,

I am by no means a specialist in this topic - but did little round trip from Billericay to Hemel on Friday, which involved a bit of single track upto motorway driving. No increase in road noise from the UHT's on the front and some other budget tyres on the rear. I found that the steering fealt a little lighter and that I had a better feel of the road. I then went and had a play yesterday on some farm tracks (friendly farmer), which was fun and again in my humble opinion seemed to be good enough to give me confidence to look for something more challenging. On the asthetic side I think they look good too.

Cheers

Sylfest
