In my earlier post to sus I meant that the tyres specifically marketed as "General Grabber AT"  pattern have not been available in 285/45/19

I also see General have a new tyre General Grabber GT which comes in both 255/50/19 and 285/45/19 - these are a very new pattern albeit marketing suggest they are NOT for off road use. These seem to be purely marketed in UK at present and some sugestion these are to replace the General Grabber UHP albeit this is totally unconfirmed.

I also see that Falken make a F453cc tyre so thats perhaps another newcomer 19" choice to consider.

Sadly no decent reviews on either other than a couple of posts from early adopters owing other SUV/SAV type 4x4 vehicles.
