What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Znarfgh]

Just fitted the Falken Wildpeak AT4s to the beast. A Falken 265/70/R17 in the AT4s looks like I went to a 275 or maybe even a 285.

Still plenty of tread on the "old" KO2's. Three of which are being moved across to my Stockman Pod trailer. The fourth was fitted to a spare rim I bought for the IG, as a second spare.

I do not see the point of buying new tyres for the trailer when there is plenty of tread still on the KO2s. So I put some milasge on the KO2s and moved them across.

It came down to KO3s, AT4s and Cooper ST Maxx (which I used for many years on the Patrol without a single puncture). Coopers was knocked out first, then the KO3s.

The steering is lighter but that may just be the new tyres with a slick surface. I go for a longer drive this afternoon after I correct the tyre pressures.

EDIT: torquing of wheel nuts checked. Tyre air pressures fixed. I suspect the tyre shops gauge needs calibration.

I thought you had a Vista RV.

I'll be interested to see how the Falkens perform, that was probably going to be my choice as a replacement. That or General Grabber.

Do General Grabber have the correct XL version that we have on the KO2's? I had GB's on previous vehicle and found them to work perfect for my needs, but it was lighter vehicle
