General Grabber red letter review
#1
Got my grabbers mounted up and aligned today. They were a great Craigslist deal I just couldn't refuse. They are 35 x 12.5 r20 with a little more then half tread left.
They balanced nicely considering they were used. I fit them under my 04 screw with a 2.5 inch level. No bad rubbing at all on my 10" wide rims.
They were great in 2wd in mucky grass, they pulled my truck right through.
Highway was smooth and free of bump steer.
From an initial start from a stop you can feel every lug on the tread pattern until you get moving.
They corner well thus far, and have given me a lot more road comfort over imperfections in the road. The tires I took off made the bumps feel harsh.
More input to come...
I did have to trim here (fender flare) with a razor knife because the plastic was sticking out too much.
Comparing the difference to my 275 60 r20 street tire.
Just finished mounting
Alignment
All done

EDIT: This is incorrect, they are a 4.5 backspace. zero offset. My mistake.

These general grabbers are definitely the smoothest mud tire I've experienced... Almost as smooth as a BFG all terrain.
I might hit the beach tomorrow with my girl and try them in the sand if I get time... I really wanna try these in mud, because that is the place where they are rumored to suck by some and shine by others... I hear mixed reviews about snow too, but we shall see.
