Being that I grew up around the family tire shop, and have worked in a few tire shops I like to get a bit technical when it comes to tires. Fast cornering in the wet sometimes will make a tire like this slide but not these. I tried to spin some days and couldn’t get these things to break loose. Again I was blown away at how well they did. What about harsh road conditions? This was the next fear that I had with these tires, how well were the big lugs going to grab in the wet, snowy, and Icy conditions of the PNW. In Moab is where I was really sold, everyone else on the trail was spinning their tires to gather grip, I think I spun them maybe once. The amazing part is every time I feel these tires will not preform they outdo my expectations. They have been through the mountains of Colorado, California deserts, mountains of Arizona, and slick rock of Utah. These tires grip like nothing I have ever had on every surface. So I was kind of unsure about these tires because of the added noise but as soon as I got them in the dirt all of those concerns went away WOW is all I had to say.

So initially these felt noisier and that rumble was weird.įirst trail impressions.
#GENERAL GRABBER X3 FULL#
Full disclosure I had never run a true M/T on any of my vehicles before, the closest tire I have to compare them to is Goodyear Wrangler duratracs which is an aggressive A/T. My first impressions were that they were louder and have a little rumble when going slow, meaning that you can feel the lugs when going under 5 mph on pavement. I am running 285/75/16 Grabbers on the jeep, I installed these in last august 2017. Never before have I been so confident in a tire in the snow on my jeep. I am a bit over a year in on my General’s and so far I am extremely happy with them. Mostly laughing at how many folks around here run studded snow tires.

With the first snow on the ground here in Eastern Washington I am thinking about tires.
