General, a US tyre brand who are manufactured by Continental, think they have the answer to the on-road off-road problem with the new General Grabber AT3. In the past all terrain tyres have been a blunt instruments, and as such have had a number of drawbacks which include reduced wet grip, and much higher noise levels than regular summer SUV tyres. The answer is all terrain tyres, which are intended for both on-road and off-road use. With normal summer 4x4 tyres being designed almost entirely for on-road usage, what happens if you need to use your 4x4 on a surface that isn't tarmac or concrete? Turning up at the shooting club in your £100,000 Range Rover only to get stuck in the grassy car park would result in many jokes at your expense in the pub, or getting stuck down a muddy trail near a fishing lake could result in your day of leisure being wasted trying to get your vehicle mobile again. If you're one of the many SUV / 4x4 owners in the UK, the chances are you're on a regular summer tyre which will offer very little performance on surfaces as simple wet grass or loose dirt.
