Awesome! I was hoping they weren't to noisy in the cab.

I had General Grabber AT2 285/75R16s on my old '86 Ramcharger for over a year. I never saw any noticeable wear. I loved them. They weren't loud either. At least not that I could tell. I say go for it. When my current tires wear out that's what I'm changing to.

I've run the BFGs as well. They lasted for a while but did develop dry rot. I discovered it on a road trip one day when one of the tires started loosing air. By the time I made it to the Firestone it was completely flat. I looked at the other tires and all of them had split on the inside next to the rim.

That's what I'm starting to see in my firestone destinations I have on my truck now. I'm constantly having to put air in them so I'm ready to get the grabbers. From what everybody says thy are good tires and I can't wait to get them!

Be careful with the dry rot. I was on the interstate doing about 80 when I noticed the leak. With my lifted van that would have been a bummer if the tire blew out.

I put a set of Grabber AT2s on my wife's Volvo XC70. It's an AWD station wagon and it makes it look pretty tough. It's been off road on several occasions but nothing abusive.

They are excellent tires, I love them. My wife is indifferent but I like the way they handle on her car. I'm definitely a believer and will buy a set for my F150 when the Toyo's wear out.

My wife has an XC70 as well. Never thought about putting Grabbers on that. Looks great!

I have Grabber AT2's on my Supercrew - 305-70R16's on 10" wide rims. Ride is great, and traction is about the same as the BFG A/t's I had before. Quiet too.
