![]() These sipes give good elasticity to the blocks allowing them to flex according to the handling orientation.Īlso as these sipes are not edge to edge, or in other words, they don’t divide the blocks down like they do in the middle, they are firm enough to ensure a stable on road grip.īut even without them the tire is pretty firm. It’s considerable dry handling is credited to it’s good rubber to road contact and full depth sipes, especially on the shoulders. The General Grabber A/TX is a very vocal tire, where even slight changes can be felt on the wheels. Even when you take sharp turns while cornering, there is a very little to no lag in between the input of your steering wheel and the handling feedback. I personally am in love with it’s steering response. Dry PerformanceĪll terrain tires mostly lack on highways and pavements, but the General Grabber A/TX stands aside from the crowd with its nice manners on road. Also as the Grabbers get balanced very good, this further aids to it’s even wear. The tire’s tread depth also plays a huge role in how long it would last, and Grabber A/TX provides you with 16″/32 and this further increases the time for these tire to wear down.įor Your Info: The lower load range sizes even do better as they generate less heat in the tread, minimizing damage. The strong kevlar rubber of the tire is also made sightly elastic, so it provides further resistance to wear. The tire has a harder compound which is stiffer and although it provides on road stability, it also ensures a good resistance to wear and promotes even wearing. Even with testing I’ve managed to get 50k out of these boys. When it comes to wear, there are two things, one is how well is the tire maintains its performance with wear, and second, how much time it takes for the tire to wear off.Īnd General Grabber A/TX does both things right, it ages well and wears slower. So there are a couple of factors to consider here. ![]() Out of all the tires I’ve had experience with, this gave out the best life. I have ranked this tire for the best spot in terms of wear (in my list of all terrain tires). Total weight range of this tire goes from 29 lbs (of 14″), to 75 lbs seen in LT 37X13.50R20įurthermore, overall total sizes are 60, and they have speed ratings, in Q, R, S and T, while the load ratings are available in SL, XL, C, D and Eįor Your Info: For a comfortable on road ride, I’d recommend going with D (load range). Here one thing to note is that, the 14″ is only available in one size, LT 27X8.50R14, by the way it comes with max tread depth of 16/32. Out of 3 ribs in the middle the surrounding two have stud-holes like seen on shoulders and they wrap up in a way to make interconnected web of grooves.Īlso, I do like the white letters on the sidewalls, although you do have the option to hide them by putting the other sidewall out, as the tire has a symmetric tread design. The shoulder blocks are seen with notches which resembles the inner blocks, though can’t say same about siping as you can see its more interlocking in the middle.īut all of them are full depth, so even with wear, they won’t go away. Large lateral spacing separating those blocks have enough room to accommodate stone ejectors between all of them. The General Grabber A/TX has staggered blocks here and they form nice lugs on the sidewalls. The General Grabber A/TX offers stud-able lugs for superior icy roads traction.
