I plan to run these tires for a long time.Hey Rob here for. 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. 1 New LT 295 65 20 LRE 10 Ply General Grabber X3 Mud Tire. 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. In fact, the X3 name comes from the tire’s intended mission: extreme performance in dirt, rock, and mud. ![]() While the Grabber was a bit of a specialized tire, the Grabber X3 is designed to excel in a wider variety of terrain. A multi-pitch pattern design reduces road noise, while advanced Duragen 3-ply construction throughout provides excellent cut and chip resistance on streets and trails. Fast cornering in the wet sometimes will make a tire like this slide but not these. The new General Grabber X3 builds on that success in the desert but ultimately expands on it. General Grabber X3 tires combine large voids for self-cleaning, and full depth sipes which provide additional biting edges to enhance wet street performance. I tried to spin some days and couldn’t get these things to break loose. For ride comfort and noise reduction, General uses a multi-pitch tread pattern. The siped tread allows water to escape from the contact patch providing improved wet and winter grip. The deep open tread pattern provides excellent traction in mud, sand, and loose terrain. Again I was blown away at how well they did. This durable tire was designed for optimal off-road performance. 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. The General Tires Grabber X3 is General Tires new mud-terrain tire line delivering outstanding off-road performance, coupled with strong street manners. 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.
