Many of the other tires I have tested have taken up to 16 ounces of weight! I even had one set that was unable to be balanced. When you are dealing with 35 and 37-inch tires that is not a regular occurrence. 10 total tires and not a single one took more than 2.75 ounces of weight. The General Tires are perfectly stable and this is further proved when I got them balanced. That’s because they have extra weight somewhere along the circumference that causes them to be unstable. Most poor quality tires fall over or start rolling. They can stand on their own without leaning or rolling from an inherent imbalance. (Grabber X3) Both sets have been exceptional quality tires and there are subtle things you notice right away when you look them over. This is the second set of General Tires that I have tested. Typically that is a trait found in more aggressive mud terrain tires but there have been some budget all-terrains over the years that have had a wandering feeling even in good weather. The tread is solid and doesn’t wiggle around under load. No squealing, sliding, or other handling quirks. Even quieter than the stock all-terrain tires that came on the JL.ĭry weather traction is excellent. Comfortable ride, never harsh over bumps, and quiet. Have you ever read the meme where it says “Let’s have a conversation on the way home.” and the picture is a set of aggressive mud terrain tires? These are the exact opposite of that. This year the weather was particularly kind and dropped enough snow to give us some worthwhile testing conditions. Tires usually show up in February or March and here in Maryland, there won’t be any snow until December or the next January. Also, they increase the X3’s chip and cut resistance to ensure a relatively smooth side on rocky terrains.It usually takes a few months before I get to write a snow review.
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. 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. That this is a mud-terrain tire means that you should use it as far away from the dry tarmac as possible.
