Hi All
I don't do that much off road and would like to swap a set of HSE 18's for 19's if anyone is interested ...

Hello beeboo,
Mine bonnet protector is an LR one. I got it through my dealer when I picked up the car in Aug 05.
Some on here have experienced problems with them breaking, but mine has been fine.
I don't know if they changed them sometime after I got mine, or if the WA ones are sourced differently to the eastern states. Have a nice day!

I've had no problems with mine and do a lot of gravel road driving and cross farm travelling.
There's not enough info in that post to draw a conclusion. i.e. loads, pressures, is the poster linked to BFG in some way (eg troll) etc Have a nice day!

No point, Kenso. I've got STT's on and they've been fine so far, so I don't need to talk to him.
He's probably a rational dude, but then again he could be like some of those blokes who frequent the overlander forum!
I'm a lover not a fighter! Have a nice day!

I see in the latest 4 x 4 mag and Simex website, the Grabber AT2, has apparently made itself to OZ.
I am looking to shod them, on the beast.

The ad in the 4WDMonthly magazine lists a 255/55R18 NOT a 255/60R18 tyre... or was I mistaken? '06 Disco 3 TDV6 SE Buckingham Blue

I had a look at their web site, it listed as 255/55R18 109H,
so you are correct.
The load index is ok, as well as speed rating as per specs.

General Tire's website lists the Grabber AT2 in 255/60R18 as available Fall 2006 in Europe and USA. That probably menas the last day of Fall, but they are coming.
