I know nitto's are sold from a tyre power in adelaide, if they dont have the 4wd ones they might be able to get them.

Chop

[mika]

i really like the look of these, don't know how good they are though or if available in oz
Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip

[alien]

thanks chop, will look into it.

mika - dunno man - that says muddy to me - its very voidy on the edges which on rock would mean not much lateral stability, or grip from that part of the tread.

[mika]

yeah, i agree. I have seen them on a few rigs and they didn't looked to have big voids but in that pic above showing them close up they def look fairly voidy.

[alien]

HRMMMMM - been doing some calling around and it appears that 31x10.5r15 General Grabbers have not yet been made by the manufacturer! Well, thats what im being told thus far... I've emailed General in the US to see what they have to say.

[smiffkid]

i can get u a set of four procomp x terrain, 31x10.5 for 1000.
done around 2500kms on a sierra.
so bearly any tread ware.

Its listed on their website

[alien]

smiffkid - its ok fourbys in QLD can get my tyres and rims delivered to my door cheaper than perth $x$ ever could... and i only live 2km away from perth $x$ too. lol

Fatzook - i know - apparently thats their 'prospective sizing' - theyre waiting for people to place orders to see which ones they will actually produce moulds for.. so at this stage only the 35 and 37" comp spec are available (according to some australian suppliers). i thought it was odd all their sizing and 'real measurements' were exactly the same- now i know why!

Go talk to a US tire dealer. They will be able to get any of those sizes.

I got quoted on the 315/50 R20 grabbers just last week.

[alien]

yeah i've emailed general USA to see what they have to say... hopefully i'll get a reply overnight... i also said in my message to them im being told theyre not available/ not been made etc, hopefully that puts a boot up continental australia's ass to get their facts right if it is available.

[alien]

General got back to me overnight:

[alien]

yeah - they could at least said on their site theyre taking pre-orders or something so i, and others knew theyre not in production... lame as. especially when running a competition like this too: http://www.generaltire.com/garage/gift-card-promo.php

[92softtop]

correct me if im wrong but i thought the grabber was a high speed tyre like the BFG baja terrian same as that BFG a couple of pages back that was on a truggy, dessert racing tyres.

Yeah but almost all aggressive tyres for sale these days are derived from motorsport designs.

The grabber was proven in the field, and now they are being made for road use.

GET THESE!

They come in a 31" but I dont think you can actually buy them... ANYWHERE

hmm? i no see 31's or i would have a set.

[Chop]

Second from the bottom hasa 31" diameter, but its a 16" rim.

Chop

[tanshi]

problem being, that again, very few of these sizes are in aus.

you cannot get the smaller ones here at all.

i tried the 600-16s and a metric equvalent to a 33.5

[alien]

yeah - and treps are the nearest thing you can get of which they have 50/50 positive and negative reviews.

[303zuke]

How about a set of these for very dry, very flat rock?

[alien]

fully sick.
