Anyone got any thoughts on the new tyres from General?

My Atr's are coming to the end of their useful life (I change them well above the wear markers ) and thought I might go for something else.

I have looked at bfg ko's but don't know if the size will affect anything.

My ATRs are heading towards 5mm too, so am also looking around in case there are better alternatives.

I have looked at those Mark ; Not as concerned with the fuel, however not that keen on the wet handling :

compared to the ATR "Standard" :

The price per tyre however is very much better!

What size do you have and what are they like in the wet?

I've got my winters on now and they are stunning in the wet - much better than the ATR's - particularly at this time of the year, but you would expect that really!

I've just put a set of BFG KO2 265/70 R17s on mine, they're a 'good' fit but absolutely no rubbing or problems with them at all so far.
