General Grabber AT2

This all terrain 4x4 tyre excelled itself when tested by the extreme off road conditions in America, so you can be sure that it will more than meet all of your off road needs here in the UK. The specialist 5 row tread pattern offers exceptional handling in all weather conditions and the traction and grip are second to none – essential for off roading. This tyre is versatile enough to perform well on smooth surfaces as well, and will see you through the winter driving conditions making it suitable for all season driving. An added benefit of this model is the built in rim protector which will guard your rims from any damage from the rough off roading terrain. The AT2 was developed to compete directly against the BF Goodrich All Terrain tyre.

General Grabber UHP

This tyre is more suited to providing safe driving on the road for your 4x4/SUV, although at the same time it can be used for the lighter off road driving. Again, similar to the AT2 the tread pattern is distinguished by the highly developed deep grooves which give you the benefit of a comfortable driving experience, a good tyre life, outstanding grip and you can be assured that the UHP will perform in all weather conditions.

Blackcircles constantly offer excellent deals across a range of different tyre sizes, so please check our latest tyre deals on our Special Offers page. Do you know that on some vehicles it is possible to fit a different brand of tyre from what is currently on the car, you may find a different brand suits your budget and driving style better – so it’s always worth investigating. However some vehicle manufacturers do recommend that you keep the same brand of tyres that originally came on the vehicle as they have worked with the tyre manufacturers to develop vehicle specific fitments to improve the vehicle’s performance.

If you are at all unsure whether you can change brand, please call our customer service team on 0845 200 0022 who will be able to let you know whether there are any alternative brands for your vehicle. Don’t forget that Blackcircles remain independent and we pride ourselves on offering our customers impartial advice on tyres.
