This means, the tire is 235mm wide, the wall-height is 75% of its width and they are fitted on 15″ wheels. These tires have been around for quite a while now and as the A/T in their name indicates, they are designed to work well in all terrain situations. This brings us to our next tire test, the GENERAL TIRE Grabber A/T’s. If you’ve been one of the poor souls that have made a poor choice, you could be stuck with your not-so upgrading purchase for as much as 30,000 miles or whenever your pocket book can support another purchase. There are lots of examples out there, where a poor tire-choice actually “down- grades” your rig. But lets face it… not all upgrades really “up-grade” your truck. Super satisfied so far, will almost certainly be getting another set in 4-5y when these wear out.For many of us, tires were, and still are the first performance upgrade. I originally considered KO2s, but these looked like a similar tread for a decent amount less. I don’t do any crawling or heavy mud off-roading so these are pretty much the perfect tire for me. I’ve had them down to 12psi on the beach with no slippage and great traction. I Bump up the rear’s to 55 when hauling my 1600lb water tank. Above 75mph they do vibrate a bit, and the tire is only rated to 88 so I’ve never been above 80 in them.I have the E-rated tires and run them 40psi front, 35 rear for highway use. Reasonable road noise for an AT tire, after the first week and below 75mph you won’t notice them at all. I’ve had them in snow up to 8in on both pavement and dirt roads, out on the beach, on washed-out forest roads, and through nail-strewn construction sites with no issues at all. 10k miles so far, and only 2 32nds of wear. Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.Įxcellent general purpose truck tires. The internal construction of the Grabber A/TX utilizes General’s DuraGen Technology, with ultra-high-strength steel belts, a robust, two-ply polyester casing to balance toughness and ride comfort and two polyamide reinforcement plies that aid durability and provide high-speed capability.
Grabber A/TX tires are designed to accept optional metal studs to enhance traction on ice and packed snow. Deep starting tread depths and multi-angle tread blocks aid traction in loose terrain, while traction notches and sipes create additional biting edges for grip in dirt, wet conditions and snow. Stone bumpers between the alternating shoulder blocks help eject rocks and debris to prevent drilling, and Sidewall Protection Lugs are designed to protect from sidewall punctures. General’s Comfort Balance Technology utilizes an absorption layer under the tread and acoustic tread pattern to enhance ride and sound comfort, and the wide footprint and optimized pattern stiffness help evenly distribute pressure for even wear and long life. The Grabber A/TX is designed to blend rugged durability and on-road civility, in addition to providing light snow traction that meets the tire industry’s severe snow service requirements and earns the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.Ī tough, cut- and chip-resistant compound is molded into the all-terrain tread pattern of the Grabber A/TX.
