![]() Sand: We aired the Grabbers down to 8 PSI and they performed much better than we anticipated. Wet roads were no problem at all, due to the rather pronounced exit channels within the tread that can dissipate more water at a quicker rate. Also braking behavior improved, leaving us with an increased feeling of safety. One thing we did notice is that the Grabber’s stopped nearly all of the understeer our truck had with the Wranglers. The Grabbers didn’t tend to squeak or rollover as fast as the Wranglers did. This is especially noticeable if you go up narrow, snaking mountain roads or take narrow turns in the city. Extremely tight turns can be taken faster (or equally fast with more margin of error). Our first set of tires were Goodyear Wrangler A/T’s and compared to these, the Grabbers are definitely a step forward on-road. Follow along as we test the General Grabber A/T’s in a variety of situations in South America. Typically, these are good for street type driving conditions like braking, steering and acceleration. Nevertheless, the interior lugs in are small enough to allow for a good amount of rubber to be contacting the ground. The first thing that strikes you when looking at the tire is the aggressiveness tread pattern, especially that of an “All Terrain.” This raised our expectations for its “off-roadability”. Additionally, the LT stands for Light Truck use. This translates loosely into an 29 X 9.5 LT tire. This means, the tire is 235mm wide, the wall-height is 75% of its width and they are fitted on 15″ wheels. These tires have been around for quite a while now and as the A/T in their name indicates, they are designed to work well in all terrain situations. ![]() This brings us to our next tire test, the GENERAL TIRE Grabber A/T’s.
