Default Grabber AT?

Do any of you guys have experience with General Grabber AT 2's? I've run General tires on my drives, on the big trucks for years. That's the extent of my experience with this tire company, lol. Wondering if cheap is crap here.

I just got a set installed yesterday. It snowed a couple inches here in Ontario yesterday and they did nicely through that crap. So far I am pretty happy with them.

They are one of the better AT's out there for snow and ice. Also, they are pretty decent offroad.

Absolutely. I have them on my truck right now, I put on a set using them for winter instead of my 20 inch Perellis. I may just leave them on year round traction in winter is awesome!

I think they're a great tire. Nice ride too, I went with the P rated ones, had to order them in but a good riding tire. One of the highest rated AT tires in snow and if you wanted, you can stud them.

I have had them on my truck for a year now and run them year round. They wear nice. As others have mentioned the wet/snow traction is awesome. I have yet to drop in 4 high since getting them on. If you look around the interwebs they get pretty good reviews - this is what finally pushed me to purchasing. The price is right. They are a fairly heavy tire and mileage will drop a little compared to stock if that concerns you.

I'm in same deal with mine...except I didn't go with LT tires.
I specifically went with a P rated tire for two reasons, better ride quality and the tires weigh much less.

My Generals in an 18 inch weigh about 14 pounds less each than the same tire in an LT. And...they weigh about 6 pounds less each than my factory 20 inch Pirellis.
