Both tires are that much better than the average, that it will be a tall order to match, much less beat their performance. BenchmarkĪt this stage, the General Grabber ATX, and General Grabber X3 are the benchmarks that all other tire reviews will compete against. You can get the tires to spin with a bunch of right foot application, but it’s only because you wanted to. Except for the very slickest pieces of pavement the traction provided is as good as a dry day. Plenty of micro-siping, excellent tread design, large pathways for the standing water to escape through all work to keep the tire in contact with the road surface. The Grabber ATX has none of those negatives.
GENERAL GRABBER ATX REVIEW PATCH
The width of the tire can lead to hydroplaning, the open blocky tread doesn’t give a very large contact patch to overcome the reduction in grip and it can be like skating on ice. Wet weather and larger tires can be an odd mix. Many of the other tires I have tested have taken up to 16 ounces of weight! I even had one set that was unable to be balanced. When you are dealing with 35 and 37-inch tires that is not a regular occurrence. 10 total tires and not a single one took more than 2.75 ounces of weight.
The General Tires are perfectly stable and this is further proved when I got them balanced. That’s because they have extra weight somewhere along the circumference that causes them to be unstable.
Most poor quality tires fall over or start rolling. They can stand on their own without leaning or rolling from an inherent imbalance. (Grabber X3) Both sets have been exceptional quality tires and there are subtle things you notice right away when you look them over. This is the second set of General Tires that I have tested. Typically that is a trait found in more aggressive mud terrain tires but there have been some budget all-terrains over the years that have had a wandering feeling even in good weather. The tread is solid and doesn’t wiggle around under load. No squealing, sliding, or other handling quirks. Even quieter than the stock all-terrain tires that came on the JL.ĭry weather traction is excellent. Comfortable ride, never harsh over bumps, and quiet. Have you ever read the meme where it says “Let’s have a conversation on the way home.” and the picture is a set of aggressive mud terrain tires? These are the exact opposite of that. And with its strong grasp in the mud terrain segment, the A/T X is General Tire’s next logical step. Their original Red-Letter Grabber, first featured on the 2010 4Runner in the Baja 1000, has been replaced by the Grabber X3. This year the weather was particularly kind and dropped enough snow to give us some worthwhile testing conditions. Looking at General Tire’s off-road portfolio, an aggressive all terrain tire was the missing puzzle piece. Tires usually show up in February or March and here in Maryland, there won’t be any snow until December or the next January.
