Strong huh? How long/miles have you had them? have any close up pics?

Love my General Grabbers. Had BFG's before and they were a great tire also, but a lot noisier than the Grabbers.

General is made by Cooper so they just a cheaper version of the Discoverers.

They look nice, how do they ride? Feel a lot of the bumps? Or real smooth?

Is this the ones you have? I've been looking at them.

I'm a big fan!

One thing I found out the hard way was when my battery died, it wouldn't work after I jumped my truck. I had to have bestbuy reprogram it, took 5 minutes and it was free, just a minor inconvenience....
