General Grabber AT2: Challenges?

General Grabber AT 2 can, and will, adapt to a wide variety of terrain, from rocky to muddy, driving styles and weather conditions.

The Symmetric tread design balance, through its independent tread block combined in five rows, off-road traction with on-road handling while the tear-resistant compound will keep the tire intact when climbing rocks.
General Grabber AT 2 performs quite well in snow and winter conditions. His performance is snow is one of the best from all-terrain truck tires as shown in our tests. These tires are a true force in the snow. This is possible because of its multiple traction sipes and edges combined with a unique studdable tread. You can use #13 metal studs on this tire, to increase ice traction.  This allows you to dig through deep snow and ice with ease while keeping the handling predictable even in the worst blizzards.

Most of the All-Terrain tires are branded with the snowflake/mountain symbol since they meet the industry snow standards, but not all of them. Because of this, you need to be very careful. It is not the case of General Grabber AT 2 which is one of the best all-terrain truck tires in the snow.

General Grabber AT 2 uses twin steel belts in combination with a two-ply polyester cord, to reinforce its internal structure. Sidewalls are also nylon reinforced so, it won’t bubble every time you load the truck a bit. But, if you go constantly on rock crawling, you need a more durable heavier tire.

General Grabber AT 2 performs pretty good in mud, but not that good in thick deep mud. The tread pattern will quickly clog in tick mud and traction will be greatly reduced. So, if you like muddy tracks every time you go off-road, then you better choose another tire; one designed for mud and with self-cleaning ability.

General Grabber AT2 on wet surfaces?

General Grabber AT 2 performs perfect on dry roads, as it should. On wet roads, it provides good stability and traction and will cut through the water with absolutely no effort.

Even so, they are quite comfortable for an all-terrain tire.
