I'm looking to put General Grabber ATs on mine too, but I notice they do those in the correct RRS size (255/50 R19), as opposed to the Goodyear MTRs that were run (255/55)? //Graham G4 SOS (ex BP57 POJ) - RRS HSE TDV8 - 2008 Mongolian Recce Vehicle - Event Registration: 4780 УбР - Fleet No: 78 Sussex 4x4 Response - SX115

That should make the Speedo slightly out, but not significantly Craig Steger-Lewis 2006 D3 Thailand Media Vehicle Stages 1 & 2 2004 D2 Landmark Auto (much missed already!)

Group: Forum Member Posts: 46, Visits: 163	I need a decent sert of A/T tyres for my RRS, think I will be going for General Grabbers. I have an ex-G4 challenge vehicle currently fitted with 255/50/19 tyres. However, looking at the G4 spec sheets (http://www.g4ownersclub.com/Resources/2006/SpecSheets/SPECSHEET2006-RANGEROVERSPORT.PDF) they were fitted with 255/55/19 tyres for the challenge. So, which should my car be fitted with and will fitting the 55-profile tyres affect my speedo and fuel economy (favourably?) at all? I would prefer the higher sidewall for a number of reasons: softer ride, slightly higher ground clearance and more protection for the alloy when offroad. Cheers!
