Default General grabers

This tire has only recently been launched in S.A. I was wondering if anybody has any info on them. Balancing issues, wear issues, excessive noise etc......
I have placed them on my list of possible M/T's
What else are good options to consider?
I need good grub on road and I have seen the likes of the Maxis are excessively noisy.....?

Haven't heard much good reviews about Grabbers. You may want to consider the BFG Mud Terrain.

I have the General Grabber AT2's not M/T's but I love them. Just had them on yesterday but either way. I think they're a good tire from what I reviewed. Again thats a AT tho not MT

I have the AT2's on for about 4K miles. Smooth, quiet, balanced fine, good in snow, cheaper than BFG. Works for me.

Only complaints I seen online was that red lettering fell off.....

I just got the Cooper ST Maxx, in 33'' , will be installed on Saturday, I will post informing everyone my thoughts on these next week.

I personally found the BFG KM a little too hard for highway but great off the beaten path, never went mudding really.

Hopefully these Coopers are better, they do have great review for offroad and pavement, we will see.

from what I found out about them they are a very good tire. the only reason why they were taken off my list of possible tires is because they're heavy.

Coopers were also on my list (looks nice) however I heard they had balancing issues on the STT MT.....? I was well on my way to get those until I got some bad feedback and then last week the Grabbers were launched at an event but obviously they have not been arround long enough for anybody to comment....good price though
How mush heavier are we talking, is it alot?
