Anyone tried General Grabber AT2s?
These look a lot like BFGs but they are cheaper and more aggressive. The 31x10.5 costs about $100. They're apparently very good in snow.

these are what i am thinking about for my crv. i would just get the same dayton a/t but they changed the tread pattern so they look more like their cousin the firestone destination a/ts. but i think i am going to give them a try but still on the edge of the decision. but if i buy them i will let ya know.

i have those on my runner now. i like them alot and plan on getting them again. dry and wet grip is great too. snow traction is excellent and studdable too. if you buy them through a dealer ask if they price match tirerack.com with shipping match too. otherwise they're not $100. got mine through america's tire/discount tire. they give good replacement and maintence warranty. very similar to the bfg but bfg not as good in snow. and at2's have more "sipping" then bfg

i am going to have them put on my cr-v. 225-70-15 they have 2 steel and 2 nylon tread plys. they are 17/32 deep tread so they are the deepest tread for the small size. i will post up some feedback after awhile and if i forget message me and i will for sure do it.

I've gone through 3 of them in about 3000 miles due to "manufacturers defect", meaning the nice, non english speaking gentleman at the tire shop probably put them on wrong.

Yup! I am running them right now. Had them put on about 3-4 months ago and they are very nice. Cost me about 120 a corner from a local tire store. I pulled out a Jeep and an Audi out of some mud in a local park/woodland area with my rig in 2WD. Last week, I was driving and heard a loud bang and then that 'rock in the tread' sound. Except that the 'rock' was from some long piece of metal that had pierced the tread. Thanks to the depth of it, it simply went through the tread without piercing the sidewall. In about a week I plan on taking a long weekend hike and will be driving about 4-5 miles on an old access road. I will write later on about the offroad performance. Buy these.

These are good tires, a friend of mine runs 'em instead of BFG A/T's cause they're cheep and he's supercharged, and likes to burn his tires off... alot... He said they clean out real good in the mud for an all terrain, I'd reccomend 'em I hear they are a very sticky compound too, and flex well when aired down.

I don't want an MT as I have a locker and thus even my street terrains will handle almost all the mud I encounter. What I want in a tire, is good, ice and snow traction, good fuel economy and a decent sidewall. I saw a set of General Grappler AT2s this weekend at one of my fishing holes. They looked more aggressive than BFGs in real life.
I think these will be my next tire.

well i have about 2k on mine and the only complaints are... dropped my gas millage by 2-4 mpg, and they are noticeably louder than my old dayton a/t tires. tread is still in good shape and no chunking so far (fingers crossed)
