what are they like for noise on road etc...?

i am usually local and on lanes/ minor rds with about half of my mileage off road on gravel tracks/ grass rides etc in woods (i'm a forester).

I also do a bit of firewood and tow a double axle trailer about off road on grass rides etc so the grabbers seem a good option.

i do however also use the car to drive up north or to wales now and again.

is the noise as bad as the bfg all terrains or are the grabbers more modern and quieter. i've had wrangler hps as std fitment on so far so how do the grabbers compare?

I don't think there noisy at all. Unless you drive in utter silence, I am sure then you would hear something. Mine have been fab so far(17,000 with them now) . I also use to to have bfg's a/t on my defender and they were not noisy!

I do a fair bit of motorway and don't find mine noisy. They seem to be even quieter now they have worn in a bit (7k miles). I have driven a D3 with them on and the same to report there - much quieter than you might expect.

my tyre man says that he can do nexxen roadians for 85 per wheel fitted. are they any good?

The grabbers are excellent, i went from conti's to grabber AT's and if the radio is down and you are on a smooth road you can only hear a very slight increase in noise at speed,

Put it this way, i'll be buying them again unless they launch another tyre with an even more aggressive tread!

They also seem to displace standing water alot better as well, and theres no noticeable difference in handling either,

Just need a heap of snow to land now so i can play in that too!!
