Hello L.O.S.T. Midwest. Just wanted to introduce myself from southern Indiana. I hope to be taking the Liberty wheeling pretty soon. I'm actually looking at the Jeep Jamboree in Cumberland KY this fall. I do a little atv riding near Harlan KY and have allways wanted to try out this country in a Jeep. I went on the French Lick Jamboree several years back and I think the Cumberland Jamboree would be a better trip. If you've been on both or just the cumberland trip I'm interested in what you think.

From a local shop named trustys here in town. They are back ordered right now so it might be awhile before I there installed. I called around just to see, and nobody else will even try to order them. This must be a hot tire have around here.

I hope to be wheeling with you guys in the near future.

Welcome......I had General grabbers on back order for over 3 months....naturaly I gave up.My second choice is what I have now...265/75 Cooper Discoverer ATR's.Im in southwestern Ohio and only about 15 to 20 minutes over the Indiana border,and last I heard about the Generals,even after 3 months was that it could be alot longer before they would have them.I'm employed at a local repair and tire shop,and our "Mainline" tire is Cooper....you think I would of had some "pull" getting the Generals.....but I guess there was none to be had.The coopers are an aggressive,but smooth and quiet tire on the road.....just something for you to consider if you get tired of waiting. :wink:

My first choice was TOYO Open Country ATs, then I started doing a little research on the General AT2s. I really hate it when it comes time to choose between 2 different tires. I wish I could just buy a couple sets and return what I don't like. If for some reason they can't get the AT2s I guess I start comparing tires again. WOW You know how to make a persons day, just kidding. Thanks for the info on the 3 month wait.

I really dig the Open Country ATs. pretty good traction, great onroad performance and they look good to boot.

welcome! i have the general grabber at2's and couldnt be happier!

dieseledkj · **Posted:** Thu Aug 02, 2007 11:15 pm

Great Day, I spoke with the owner today and he said the AT2s will be here next week

. He said they are coming straight from the Continental Tire factory which happens to make the AT2. Check out this page on tire makers

when you say "Southern Indiana" do you mean across the river from Louisville?? There are several of us in Louisville on LOST.

Welcome in any case! :lol:

I go to French Lick/West Baden/Paoli at least 3 times a year - I might have to go more often - the casino and the Dome and the new Resort are cool.... been there twice already....
