Default New General Grabber Tire

Saw these the other day. Anyone know anything about them? I kinda like the red letters.

Continental AG owns General tire. I've had a few sets of continentals on my past street cars and they were great. Seems like this is their first off-road tire though. Prices and sizes are pretty reasonable

I've been eyeing those too. I'd love to hear a review from someone who pulls the trigger on them & to see pics of them on a JK. I'm also curious to know if they really are quieter due to the tread design.

I have the General grabber AT2 tires. They are great in Mud Snow Ice and road. These new General Grabber DOT tires look really good for mud and wheeling but look horrible for ice and light snow! I am a big fan of The AT2 and will be getting them in 35 soon.

A couple of my buddies ran the Baja 1000 last fall and said General had a large presence there. Just throwing that out there.

Stopped at 4wheel parts yesterday to check on somethings and saw these first hand. They are pretty sweet looking. I took some pics. When I get home tonight I will upload them.

Peterson's did a review on the new Grabbers in their July issue. Seems like a good all-around daily driving tire. I like the cool diagonal tread.

Those look sweet. I'm also running AT2's and they've been amazing. The only time the didn't get me out was after I broke through 3" of ice and plunged down into the muck below. Tank treads wouldn't even have helped.

Let us know if you get a set of these!

Yea I saw these a few weeks ago and started doing research on them.. Reviews i have read say they are pretty amazing for rockcrawling mudding snow and highway.

They have "acoustic modulation technology" which is a wave suppression that makes for a really quiet rideon the street. they come as 33s or 35s.

I was actually going to get these but i got talked into Nitto trail grapplers..

I'm liking the red letters too. I don't know if they'd work on all colors, but anything with the slightest red accents would make these pop.
