Had very good service from two sets of Yokohamas, then switced to BF (they did well on the Isuzu). They are noisier and the car feels sluggish, as though the circumference is bigger, good milage though. In more than one comparison BFs came out rather low while General Grabber performed with the best in all conditions. Taking price into account, this may be a good option. Anybody with experience with these?

I've got Grabber ATs on my new car (255/60×18). They seem fine but traction was a problem on tar after the first rain. Not sure if the road was super slippery or if the tyres were super useless. Maybe it's the massive torque from that clattery, smelly oil burner.

Haha... Cloyd,
No... only slip was between rubber and tar. Mind and concentration went into neutral.
