I wouldn't say they are more agressive than the bfg, bfg looks like it has bigger gaps in the outter block.

I run these exact tires. General Grabbers AT2, stock tire size. Bought them at $89 a piece. I have had them on for 2 years and 40k miles. They are on my daily driver, 50 miles to/from work. I wheel whenever I get a chance and they have proven themselves time and time again. Great in snow. Great in water.

General is owned by Continental. However they are marketed more in the European market. No marketing/advertising dollars spent in the U.S., so we get a good deal on them.

If my opinion is not clear....THIS IS A GREAT TIRE AT A GREAT PRICE!!!!

I saw a picture for the tire design and it is killer!

I ordered a set of these and put em on last July. Have about 11500 miles on them and they show very little wear. In 2wd they keep me going on anything except ice (I didn't have mine studded). In 4wd the only limits I've found are not enough power from the 3.0 and an open rear differential when climbing a hill with an alternating uneven surface to drive on. One snowy day up here I was headed into town and was about halfway down a steep hill where lots of people get stuck going up and happened to recognize a car as one of my friends' stuck almost in the ditch. I was able to stop, put it in reverse, and back up the hill to her car, then pull forward and then back around her car so that I was on the uphill side. I got her unstuck and she chose to take a different route to get to work. Great tire for the $$ My dad's 3/4 ton Chevy suburban has the BFG AT's so hopefully I will be able to make a partial comparison this hunting season.

Thumbs up

Had them now for a couple weeks. Like them so far. A "tiny" bit louder but maybe because they are new. Happy Found out I needed new shocks

Has anyone in the Denver/Boulder/Colorado Springs area been able to find these tires (Grabber AT2) at a reasonable price? I keep seeing that they are less than BFG's, but every place that I've called is selling them for $20 - $30 more than AT K/O's....

TireRack has a good price until you figure in shipping

I didn't find them in any local stores. I ordered them through Tirerack.com. Both BFG's and the General's are good tires, so go with whichever is cheaper. Right now the BFG's are going for $135ish on Tirerack and the General Grabbers are at $114.

Got mine from www.treadepot.com a little before december with free shipping. it was a great deal. These tires are great for just about any terrain except deep mud, they seem to be wearing very well and they look bad A$$ imo. I'm running 265/75/16 10 plys. Noticed about a 1mph drop in fuel economy.

This is an old thread, but I have them on my other truck and they are GREAT!! They are unbeatable in snow, and they have good siping for wet roads. A great tire, I highly recommend.

Not as good as an MT but for an "A/T" they do well, and better than most A/T's IMO. There are some pretty wide gaps in the tread in places.

I'd say mileage due to weight and rubber compound. I have them on my Silverado in 265/75/16 E rated, and they just feel heavy. I lost probably 1-2 MPG's with them over a much less aggressive A/T.

They have the mountain snowflake symbol so the rubber is pretty soft/squishy. That being said, they are wearing very well. Another thing I like about them is having the extra rubber protecting the rim. Honestly they are a great tire for the money, and I believe a well kept secret.

Here are some more reviews from tirerack.com
