The balanced block geometry of the tread with low stiffness and the specially modified arrangement of the blocks in the center of the tread reduce vibration in the tyre, providing good ride comfort on the road. The third technology, known as “ComfortBalance” demonstrates the developers’ success in overcoming the conflicting interests of ride comfort on road and good off-road grip. This combination of design features boost the self-cleaning properties of the tread, permits good interlocking with loose surfaces and provides a large number of edges to deliver grip in every direction. “DuraGen”, is a rubber compound that provides excellent rip resistance and improves mileage in rough terrain. The technologies consist of “TracGen”, which includes an open shoulder design, traction ridges which the developers call “traction pockets and sipes arranged at different angles to enhance grip properties. The Grabber AT3 features three new technologies from General Tire that allow for high grip both on and off-road, enhanced acoustic performance and improved mileage. All sizes of this off-road specialist are approved for speeds of up to 100 mph. With an M+S mark and the snowflake symbol to indicate its all-season suitability, the Grabber X3 will be available in 19 different sizes for 15- to 19-inch rims. For on-road use the Grabber X3 is better than its predecessor in terms of wet performance and noise, while there is a ten percent improvement on snow-covered ground. Compared to the tyre’s predecessor, its performance on sand and in loose gravel has been improved by five percent, while performance over rocky terrain by ten percent.

Grabber X3 has a three-ply structure that provides additional strength and puncture resistance. A series of deflection ribs protect the sidewalls against damage from stones or gravel, which makes for highly robust performance in tough terrain.

When driving over rocks, grip edges arranged at different angles in the tyre’s tread delivers maximum grip in every direction. The tyre’s unique design has chamfered block edges with wider tread grooves and narrow grooves in the tread base to enable stones to be displaced faster to prevent them from lodging when travelling over gravel. All three rely on a tread pattern that features deep grooves, channels for mud evacuation and staggered edges, which makes for high levels of grip on sand, mud and gravel. To help them meet a demanding set of specifications, General Tire’s development engineers created three new technologies: “Extreme Mud (X Mud)” for maximum traction in deep mud, “Extreme Dirt (X Dirt)” for driving on dirt and gravel, and “Extreme Rock (X Rock)” for tackling rocky terrain. The Grabber X3 is a SUV/all-terrain tyre for on and off-road use, with a clear emphasis on off-road with an 80/20 off/on-road weighting. Both models will bear the M+S mark and the snowflake symbol, indicating their suitability for all-season use. The Grabber X3 is available in 19 sizes for rims from 15 to 19 inches, while the Grabber AT3 will be manufactured in 64 sizes for rims from 15 to 20 inches. The latest General Tire products offer new solutions with its American heritage in its core all-terrain segment for off-road driving enthusiasts, as well as professionals in the construction, agricultural and forestry sectors who demand maximum mobility in even the toughest conditions. The Grabber X3 has an on/off-road ratio of 20/80 percent, while the Grabber AT3 has a ratio of 50/50. The latest Grabber X3 caters for driving in tough terrain whilst the Grabber AT3 tackles mixed on- and off-road use.īoth tyres feature the robust characteristics and high grip that General Tire is renowned for. Heritage-rich General Tire continues its product offensive with SUV tyres for on- and off-road use.

Today I just had General Grabber X3's installed in 265-75-16 size. I'm awaiting a bedrug and eventually want to upgrade the sound system. So far I installed a Truxedo Lopro soft tonneau cover, did the AC vent mod, and installed an auto tailgate lock. Absolutely love the truck! I plan on just doing a few minimal modifications. Just recently picked up a 2020 Army Green Pro, manual transmission with a dorkel.
