![]() Of course, as always, we will explain why our opinion is so positive in this detailed General Grabber X3 Review.īefore we do that, though, it’s best to clear some things out. Why? Well, you will not gain too much in off-road abilities (the vehicle itself is the bottleneck here), and these General Grabber tires will worsen the on-road stability, and especially comfort and quietness.įirst of all, even though some crossovers can work on rougher terrains, these tires aren’t the best choice for them. If you own a crossover, we suggest going for all-terrain tires if you really want something more capable for off-road driving. On the other hand, owners of 4×4 SUVs and trucks that want to extract that extra performance on very demanding off-road sections should really put this tire on the shortlist. The Grabber X3 was specifically designed to work in the most extreme conditions, giving the driver outstanding traction and durability. Vehicles that should work outstandingly well with a set of these tires are Toyota 4Runner, Tundra, and Tacoma (especially the TRD versions), Ford Ranger, F-150 and Raptor, Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee, RAM 1500, etc. As you can see, all of these vehicles are body-on-frame design, which makes them much more capable for off-road driving. That said, if you own the 2WD versions of these models, please note that the tires will not help that much for off-road driving. The General Grabber X3 is available in sizes ranging from 15 to 20 inches. Almost all versions are LT-rated, which means that they’re suitable for towing, and there are also models in the 33-inch, 35-inch and 37-inch categories for the most extreme off-road SUVs and trucks, like the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. With all that said, let’s jump onto the features of the General Grabber X3, or in other words, what design decisions the manufacturer made to make the tire more capable for extreme off-road driving. What are the features of the General Grabber X3 tires?.With that being said, how is it in snowy roads?.What are the features of the General Grabber X3 tires?Īccording to General Tire, the Grabber X3 is “a bold and aggressive Mud-Terrain tire that delivers extreme off-road performance in mud, dirt and rocky terrain, with 3-ply durability, balanced with an impressive on-road performance”. ![]() So, despite the Mud-Terrain moniker, the Grabber X3, in reality, is an off-road tire that should work in every condition you encounter, including dirt and rocky terrain. That’s what the “X3” in the name stands for by the way. ![]() To achieve all those things, General Tire equipped the Grabber X3 with several key technologies that make it more capable for off-road scenarios. As with every tire, they started with the robust off-road tread compound that is molded into a high-void symmetric pattern that is one of the most aggressive in its category. The open tread design is further enhanced with block chamfers and traction notches for additional grip on loose surfaces.Īs with most mud-terrain tires, the Grabber X3 is equipped with evacuation channels that clear the mud from the tread. Thanks to this, the tire will keep its traction even after hundreds of miles driven in the mud. On top of that, the X3 is equipped with stone bumpers and grooves that clean the tire from debris and stones, another feature that should help in long off-road sessions. Like all other tires from its Grabber lineup, General also equipped the Grabber X3 with the DuraGen Technology that makes the tire cut-and-chip resistant, and also much more flexible in cold weather. On top of that, the Sidewall Protection Lugs enhance grip during extreme off-roading, while further enhancing the cut-and-chip resistance. The three-ply body casing and twin ultra-high-strength steel belts give the tire its extreme toughness which can come in handy in the most demanding terrain surfaces. ![]() General Tire also made sure that the Grabber X3 works on the road. ![]()
