This prevents the road and tread pattern noise from generating while the tires are in motion, which guarantees a comfortable driving experience. The tread design channels the airwaves through the tire’s footprint without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. The tread design lowers the road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin preventing its formation. The improved all weather traction and hydroplaning resistance boost the year round performance. The wide groove design enhances the water and slush dispersing capability, which effectively resists hydroplaning. The compound maintains its flexibility in colder temperatures, while firmly gripping the road surface to ensure an increased performance. The optimal siping detail enhances the winter weather traction as well. The tread pattern upgrades the dry, wet and winter weather traction.
The reinforced structure prevents the deformity of the tire’s optimal shape during the drive, which improves its load carrying and withstanding capability. The strengthened construction also upgrades the driving and load durability. The tire’s internal structure also manages to prevent punctures from shortening the tire’s service life. The model’s stronger DuraGen compound further improves the damage resistance by preventing off-road damage from harming the tire’s casing. In this manner, the tread prevents the footprint from being blocked from its contact with the tread elements, while also actively resisting stone retention from harming the tire’s casing. They eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. The staggered tread elements also manage to maintain a clean footprint.

The staggered tread elements, wide grooves and open shoulder pattern upgrade the soft, loose and uneven terrain traction, while they also ensure a safer on-road drive. The tire offers excellent off-road performance. I plan to run these tires for a long time.The General Grabber X3 is a mud terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks. As I stated I was not an M/T guy before this so I cannot compare these to M/T’s but I really think that General hit a home run with this design. I wrote this review because of how impressed I am with these tires. There is no cupping and they balance well.įor what it’s worth. The tires started with 19/32 of tread on them I have over 13,000 miles on them and they have 15/32 of tread. M/T tires have never had these just the large lugs so these are a game changer for the winter drivability of these tires. Side note sipes are what make winter tires work. These allow the big lugs to get the water out of the way and find the best traction.

The biggest advantage that these have in the wet are the full depth sipes these are the small cuts in the tread that allow water to escape. 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. 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.
