I've got the 35s and have about 3k miles on them. I like them a lot and even though they're massively heavy @ 80lbs, my fuel range is back to stock since I put the mileage tune from the Flashpaq.

Off Road performance is great. I hit some thick mud a couple weeks ago that it struggled with but I dont think anything wouldve gotten through it unless it was a Super Swamper...not enough water.

Anyway, road noise is negligible on the interstate with the doors off. That remains to be seen at 30 or 40k miles when the tread wears off.

I love em and got a good deal on the price vs other 35s out there

I considered these tires a few months back but they were just not widely distributed at the time apparently. I think you guys have something really cool there. And a good tire too. I went with General's Grabber AT2s for my highway/light trail tires and I really like them. Would like em more if they had the trick red lettering!
Congrats

ok guys, I have had these on for about 1,000 miles. I love them! They ride really nicely and have very good street manners. They handle rain very well, and have little to no road noise. I have not had a chance to take them off road yet, but am looking forward to the opportunity. I will post back after my first off road trip and let you all know how they did!

from a 33" mud grappler, my gas mileage actually went UP with a 35" grabber. they also ride smoother and grab better on the rocks. an all around better tire in my book

It must be the red paint on the letters that give you better mpg's. Lmfao!

Just messing you. The rig looks sweet!

lol, truthfully, i think the coefficient of friction is lower on the grabber, either the tread, the rubber compound or both.

Word has it General and Uniroyal are the two most worthless tires made, these are single plain tires, so they are only ballanced from 0-50, go over and feel it, If you want a true balance then you need dual plain balance. You want bad ass for your money get the Cooper discover STT, but rocks like to eat them up, and shorten their life expectancy. The Cooper discver ST is a great all around tire, but not super hard core. Cant go wrong with BFG's and Bridgestones as well. Im a Cooper made in the USA man, but this is all from the mouth of my brother who's been working in the biz for 15 years.

So if you think general tires are bad you must think continental are to.... Conti makes general... All around good tires... Just might not be the right tire for our type of rig.....
