I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4 which is occasionally used for tame off road use for shooting ie driving over farmers fields, muddy lanes etc and is used in summer and winter. 90% of the time however its my daily commuter and does about 8k miles pa.
I need some new tyres but dont want to knacker up the road noise/normal road driving experience but also need to be able to get around fields and tracks occasionally that are not too extreme.
Size is 235/60/18 H

Any help appreciated. Dont mind paying for premium tyres it doesn't have to be a budget brand.

Well worth a look is the General Grabber AT, available in your size 235/60x18 and is a good all round tyre that is our most popular fitment to all 4x4's.

Second the Grabber AT,

Also I like the Cooper Discoverer AT I have on the Jeep at present.

Thank you sarge. Have a set of grabber AT coming on Wednesday. Almost got stuck on a field today while shooting as it had rained heavily overnight and the ground was sodden

Has anyone had experience of the General Grabber GT?

On road performance and winter ability?

General GT is a very good road tyre with good performance on wet roads, winter performance will be as good as most other summer tyres.

Sarge, is there a three peak marked winter tyre which will also not embarrass me in a wet field?

Car is a Range Rover Classic that only does about 2,000 miles a year tootling about, but I would like good winter performance as the old Goodyear GT4s which are on at the moment are terrifying in snow and ice!

I'm running 235/70/16 (Disco 1 size) but OEM was 205/80/16 so happy with either. I don't want snazzy white letters though! Thanks.

What about 225/75x16 General AT2 or BFGoodrich AT KO ?

You can turn the white letters to the inside. wink

Thanks for the reply. Not thought of that size. Good thinking.
Are both of those three peak snowflake marked?

just to report that these General grabber AT do seem to be great for the job in hand. not too much road noise, nice grip in wet on road, and perfectly capable of traversing muddy wet corn stubble and sludge while shooting last weekend. thanks for help
