The double-v pattern of the tire tread increases the durability of the tire when off-road, and also increases the tread life overall. What good is a tire with this great performance if it doesn’t last you though, right? Well luckily, not only does the AT2 excel all condition s, but they will last a long time as well. The tires absorb most bumps and vibrations, and you could certainly do worse for a set of tires for your truck or SUV. In addition, they provide a very comfortable ride. Even highway driving at higher speeds is very quiet. This is largely due to General introducing their engineered acoustic tread pattern, which provides the impressive all-terrain performance without all the noise. They’re obviously not as quiet as a luxury touring wheel, but they are incredibly quiet considering the aggressive tread of the tires. That’s actually not the case with the Grabber. You may be wondering if this tire has a downside? Many all-terrain and all-season tires with superior performance usually fall short in this category since the treads can often produce an excessive amount of noise, or be bumpy and vibrating. The General Grabber AT2 really is an all-terrain tire that you can depend on year-round. Many folks use the Grabber AT2 as an all-year tire, since even with some wear from the summer months, the tire still performs super well in snow and ice. The composition of the rubber prevents excessive stiffening of the rubber in cold conditions, allowing the tire to still mold to the icy surfaces, preventing slippage. The biting edges of the 5-rows of tread blocks provide great traction in heavy snow. Studded tires are not allowed in every state/province however, as they accelerate the wear of the road, so make sure you’re actually allowed to use them before planning on studding the tires. The tire tread also includes small indents throughout, allowing you the option to insert studs providing even greater traction in snow and ice. In other words, it has the mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire, and can be used confidently in snowy and icy conditions. One of the great features of the Grabber is the fact that it actually meets the requirements of the RMA and RAC in regards to severe snow service wheels. The Grabber, by comparison, will have you driving confidently in all conditions including the rain. Many all-terrain tires can have issues with traction on wet roads, compared with specialized all-season touring tires. Stopping is quick, and you will rarely notice that you are driving on a wet road vs. The deep tread allows water to channel away from your wheel efficiently, so even in heavy rain you can depend on the excellent traction. The General Grabber AT2 performs almost as well in wet conditions as it does on dry roads.
They obviously won’t perform quite as well as an MT tire in deeper mud, but they do surprisingly well, and you shouldn’t have any problems getting through some soft, boggy situations. One thing to look out for is that when the tire is new and the tread is unworn, it tends to throw gravel, and so if you don’t have mud flaps you could end up chipping some paint from your rig, or whoever is behind you.
The treads are deeper than most other tires, increasing the off-road traction as well, allowing the tire to grip sandy and gravelly surfaces better. The tread of this tire has 5-rows of irregularly shaped blocks, providing optimal traction on dry roads and off-road. Not only is this tire great for a work truck or casual off-roaders, but the tire is also very popular among the off-roading community. This also makes it a great tire for weekend warriors like people who are out and about camping and going on adventures that need the off-road performance.Īs we just touched on, the General Grabber AT2 is a great tire for off-roading. These General tires are a great set for a work truck, providing solid reliable driving on your commute to work, and also giving you the performance necessary for getting around on the job site without getting stuck. The reason General has designated this tire an on/off-road tire is so you can have the reliability of a daily use tire, that is prepared for any conditions you may come across. ✅ Suitable for Severe Snow Conditions ConsĪlthough the tread of the AT2 is more aggressive than required for most day-to-day driving, it still performs exceptionally well on dry roads. ✅ 5 Tread rows with multiple traction angles
