New General Grabber

[bstoner59]

Dan my Nitto's are 12.5's as well...I'm going to wait on the General's too bad they weren't out when I go tmy Nitto's

Mark they have the pic of the Grabber in question but they have more sizes listed than the article states are available...and I couldn't find any other tire place selling them online. $197 seems too good to be true and you know what they say about that

Hey Dan I'm on it!! I'll post as soon as I find out when these things are available

Yup, I thought you were running the 12-and-a-halfs (wide). These Generals will look great on the Raptor and I'm looking forward to seeing these in person.

From what I could find out (I'm interested in these tires too!) 4 Wheel Parts has an "exclusive" on these tires for a couple of months. They are the only place you can buy them for a while.

But the price I found is $276

Hmm... very interested, when the time comes. Good find and research guys!

Whoa, that's a funky tread design. I'm running a set of General Grabber AT2's on one of our pickups and really like 'em. These have much wider lug spacing than mine. I'd imagine they generate some noise on pavement but it looks like they sure work in the gooey stuff.

From the webpage:

General has engineered the Grabber with what it calls AMST – Acoustic Modulation Sound Technology – a sound wave suppression technology that works to reduce road tires noise. The Grabber DOT-approved off-road tire comes in a variety of sizes and is designed to perform on the highway and streets as well.

So noise might not be a big issue?

This is from the article I posted:

The wide voids of the Grabber allowed it to self-clean in the mud.

The tire features Acoustic Modulation Technology, a wave-suppression technology that provides an exceptionally quiet street ride.

They also feature General's patented Strake & Chamfer tread design, a design of diagonal grooves and chamfered lug corners that gives the tire its traction capabilities.

Thanks for that I was wondering how much they weigh...anyone know what the BFGs weigh in at???

I want to say 66lbs? Can someone confirm that?
