Need a pair of tyres - seems that the Grabber UHP is no more.

Any suggestions? Anyone tried Hankook RH06? http://www.camskill.co.uk/m65b0s218p107013/Hankook...

I've got Toyo Proxes S/T's in 285/50(I think, whatever matches the original circumference) R18 on my Landy.

Plenty of braking grip wet or dry, good grip generally, they do have a tendency to break grip quite suddenly but to be honest the limit is so high you usually bottle out first. The only real issue I have is they do feel a bit lively in standing water at motorway speed, but I suspect that's more about the silly sizing

Michelin (Alpin) and Cooper (Zeon or ATR) get good reviews on disco3.co.uk as do GG AT2's which seem to crop up on LRO a lot too. Am running GG AT2's myself and have no complaints at all, although I've not yet used them during the winter.

What do you use the car for?

As we could say but a set of off road tyres, but if you never use it off road then you don't really need them.
Flip side is, the AT style tyres do last for way over 40k and still have good road manners in dry/wet/snow.

You do lose 2mpg or so though by having them fitted and there is a small increase in tyre roar into the car.

Don't do enough off road to warrant the ATs and the mpg would be tiresome. Get it? Tiresome. HA!
