We reviewed General’s latest All-Terrain Tire, the Grabber A/TX

When General releases a new all-terrain tire, on- and off-road enthusiasts in the know take note. General Tire has been renowned for high quality and capable all-terrain tires for decades.

Their latest all-terrain tire, the Grabber A/TX, looks like another can’t-miss proposition. Here are the top five reasons why:

1. The Grabber A/TX is a hybrid of two proven General tires.

The Grabber A/TX combines some of the best elements of the Grabber AT2 (all-terrain) and Grabber X3 (mud-terrain) to create one “uber” all-terrain tire.

Grabber A/TX borrows the tread pattern and characteristics from the Grabber AT2, and the off-road focused, durable sidewall from the more extreme Grabber X3. The Grabber A/TX therefore benefits from a road-friendly tire tread pattern, with a boost in sidewall durability and grip from the X3’s shoulder lugs.

The A/TX includes the Grabber X3’s 3-ply sidewall construction, which creates an additional level of puncture protection. The strong sidewall also allows for airing down, and running low psi in off-road conditions where it’s beneficial to do it.

2. Comfort features & long tread life.

This tire features Comfort Balance Technology, a “tread cushioning system with an acoustic tread pattern that provides a more comfortable, quiet ride on the road,” according to GeneralTire.com.

General’s Stabiltread Technology leverages a larger tread footprint (contact patch) and tread stiffness to encourage even wear and long tread life.

Tread life warranty is strong – 6 years and 60,000 miles for metric sizes, 6 years and 50,000 miles for LT and flotation sizes.

3. Meets the objective traction standard for severe snow service (the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol).

The tire was designed with all-weather, four season use in mind. It meets the highest test standard for snow traction set by the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association and Rubber Association of Canada. (Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.)

"The design provides confidence to the consumer, who requires a year-round solution for all weather conditions." - GeneralTire.com

Not only that, the Grabber A/TX is a uniquely studdable all-terrain tire, which significantly benefits traction on iced and slick winter roadways. (Note: Studs are not legal in all states and locations.)

4. Available in 38 sizes ranging from 14-20".
