Sidewall protection lugs: Made of a robust compound, the sidewall lugs supplement your tire’s performance by providing it with excellent adhesion.They are also responsible for popping out the rocks before they can puncture the tire. Ive had a set of General Grabber Red Letter M/T tires in 35x12.5-17 on my Rubicon for a number of years. Stone Bumpers: One of the most exciting design features of the X3, stone bumpers have the duty to release any debris and stone from the tire’s inner side to minimize stone drilling.Block chambers and traction notches: To save you from technical talk, both these design elements are there to help the X3 provide better grip and stability on loose dirt.
It also empowers it to break large mud particles which may find their way inside the tire’s tread as the X3 tramples down the mud. That, in turn, allows the X3 to provide better grip.
Alternating shoulder scoops: What these scoops do is open up the surface of the tire. Open Tread Design: Did you know where the high traction of the X3 in dirt, sand, mud, and gravel comes from? Or why it can self-clean? Your hunch is right we have the open tread design to thank for all of this, and more. All of whom combine to make it one of the best mud-terrain tires on the market. If you have skipped all the previous paragraphs and jumped right on to this heading, let us assure you that, yes, the Grabber X3 has reserved its best features for off-road performance. Similar is the case with the Grabber X3 whose bold tread design and red sidewall lettering do little more than raising eyebrows. Aggressive styling: As you might already know, aggressive styling on any tire doesn’t impact their performance one bit. Second, it increases the tire’s grip on off-road conditions. First, it joins its forces with the Acoustic technology to suppress the noise of this tire as it’s moving along the street. Multi-pitch pattern: The multi-pitch pattern which the Grabber X3 comes with performs two functions. They are there to help this tire in providing better traction on snow-covered or wet pavements. Siped design: Look closely at the border area of the tread and you might locate the presence of a few full-depth sides. Which is why General infused the Grabber X3 with these features which would come to your rescue on those bump-free roads. Still, as common sense tells us, that can’t always be the case. I not going to drive on my spare for that long so ended up selling the tires back to general and getting a different tire.That this is a mud-terrain tire means that you should use it as far away from the dry tarmac as possible. They have "0" zilch nada tires and are unsure when production will start up again, could be 6 months, could be a year. Well apparently there are "0" zilch, nada tires in the complete store inventory. No problem I thought as I had perchased the replacement warranty through discount tire. On Sunday I went on a little jaunt through the desert and apparently introduced a sharp stick through the sidewall of my left rear tire. Well it seems as though General Tire seriously over advertised their tire or seriously under produced it. They balanced well (little weight) and rode as expected on the street (little noisy but not obnoxious.) in 12000 miles it had wore down 3/32 worth of tread (started out at 18/32, ended at 15/32). 
They were great for their intended purpose, hauling ass through the desert. 285/75/16įor all intensive purposes I liked them a lot. I've been running the general red letters for a little over a year on my 2002 4runner.
