Default General Tire Grabber A/T2 275/70r18

Anyone have these on their f150?
Great price at Canadian Tire for them right now and I'm in need of new winter tires, but cant seem to find any pictures of this exact size on an F150.

I have stock 18" FX4 mags for winter that these would be mounted on.

Thanks in advance

My friend has them on his Chevy, and loves them. They do well in the snow and ice

If you try to order that size, it says out of stock... I guess you need to call a store and see if they can find them or give you a rain check.

I have these. Nice aggressive tread, added about an inch to ride height.

They are a 10 ply M&S tire and there is a big height and weight difference over the stock P rated Goodyears.

I can feel the difference in the ride, and lost 1 L/100km.

On a super smooth road you can feel the tread hum through the steering wheel, but they are fairly quiet for an M&S rated tire. I run them 10 lbs under max inflation to add a bit of cushion.

We have way less snow then normal this year, but have had a few ice storms. They have great ice traction, but can't comment on deep snow performance yet.

Work well in sand but not so great in mud. If those are any thing you might get into. I found that out through experience. Great tire otherwise though.

I bought mine from Canadian Tire...and yes they always show out of stock, even when you go through the stores.


The trick I used as told to me by the service manager at my store was to order them from the website and have them delivered to your local store. It worked for me.

I have the factory 20s on my truck for summer but for winter I have a set of Generals AT2 in a 275-65-18 on custom wheels.


These tires are GREAT in winter, amazing traction on snow and good on ice, slush and around corners! You won't be disappointed.


I ordered the tires off Canadian Tire website...and I bought the P rated ones which ride a lot smoother than the factory 20s. The LT ones are 10 ply and will ride very rough so if you don't need the LTs, the Ps are great.


Anyway, here's what they look like on my truck. Sorry, not the greatest pic.


P.S. if you can't find them in a 70, try upping the tire to a 285, you may have better luck.

I put the same size generals on my truck in November,also installed bilstein 1.5 leveling shocks. Have no complaints at all on the tires. Definatly a big upgrade over the good year SRA junk they had on the truck!

Same thing I did. 1.5" Bilsteins and General Grabber AT2.

Very happy with the tires so far. Wear has been decent. Noise isn't much. Ride is obviously a bit rougher since being LT's.
