Hi
I'm looking for some advice for new tyres for my P38.
It currently has Bridgestone Dueler HP sport on the Hurricane wheels. Not my choice, I think the previous owner just wanted to get it through the MOT.

I am looking for something suitable for motorway driving but able to handle light greenlaning. So far, I am looking at either the General Grabber AT3 or Michelin Cross Climate SUV. Which is better on the p38?
Interested to hear your thoughts and advice.
Thanks in advance
Tom

The AT3 is a very good tyre. Tend to see lots fitted to P38’s.

I had AT2s on mine but, they don't seem to be available in 18" anymore.

Yep, AT2 on mine and very good they are too. Not too noisy at all.

Scorpion ST were good (and quiet). Nexus Roadians were OK. I had Vredstein snow tryes on once but they were noisy and I hated them. Cannot remember what the others were so that tells you all you need to know!

Itl go thorough green lanes on motorway tyres AT2s are enough. AT3s do look nice though

Cheers for the advice. Looks like overwhelming support for the grabbers

I had the at3's for nearly four years. 40.000mls out of them. They hard wearing and have very tough side walls as well. I ran mine at 2.4 bar front and rear and got a very even wear pattern. Swapping front to back also helped.
I've no hot the Hankook dyna pro2, similar Tyre idea. 50/50 softer side walls but just as capable.
Running at 1.6 bar while greenlaning and they are quite comfortable also.
