...This is my first time owning a set of 3PMS tires and I have to say that it makes a very considerable difference on snow but on sandy/gritty roads. I've never had this much snow traction before...

I was looking for a set of all terrain tires that were 3PMS and didn't weren't over-styled. These are a handsome tire with snow and hauling performance to match. This is my third set of Generals I've bought for my vehicles and all of them have been absolutely great. This is my first time owning a set of 3PMS tires and I have to say that it makes a very considerable difference on not only snow but on sandy/gritty roads. I've never had this much snow traction before. I would hands down buy these again when the time comes.

...I just came back from a VT ski trip and they held up well in rain, snow, ice and mud; I found i did not need to engage the 4wd once during the trip as the tires really stick to the pavement/ground and the deep channels seem to clear out the snow...

I've driven my 2014 4Runner for about 500 miles on these tires after having to switch out the OEM Bridgestone Duelers at 39,000. I was attracted to these tires for their cross between off road and highway along with their significantly lower price when compared with Goodyear and BFGoodrich. These are a huge upgrade from the Bridgestones that slid all over the place in snow and rain - they were only good for highway. It took a few hundred miles to break the Generals in for highway driving but afterwards my gas mileage is similar to the OEM tires. I just came back from a VT ski trip and they held up well in rain, snow, ice and mud; I found i did not need to engage the 4wd once during the trip as the tires really stick to the pavement/ground and the deep channels seem to clear out the snow. The tires also handle turns well, don't make much noise on the highway and have a cushioned layer that smooths out the bumps. I'm puzzled by the earlier negative reviews - these are good tires and General is owned by Continental.

...These Generals are already rated to handle way more than my 5,000 lb. crew cab, aluminum F150 will ever put on them, look great, and have a nice balance of on road manners (great!) and moderate off road capability...

This was the only tire in this size ( 275/70r18, just over 33" tall, close to 40 lbs. per tire) that wasn't a Load Range E. My reasoning for not wanting the higher load range is because those tires are at least 25% heavier which hurts mileage, ride comfort and handling in corners, as well as stopping distance (rotational, unsprung mass has a huge effect on these things). These Generals are already rated to handle way more than my 5,000 lb. crew cab, aluminum F150 will ever put on them, look great, and have a nice balance of on road manners (great!) and moderate off road capability. The only way I'd consider an E tire would be if I was towing something heavy every week or really long distances, in which case I'd get something like a Michelin LTX M/S2 all-season that I could put 80psi in. I'm super glad I found these Generals. They give me a slight ride height boost, still ride as good or better than the stock tires, and look way beefer.

Pleasantly surprised by the ride comfort and lack of road noise. Within the first few days after purchase we had a couple of days of wintery mix weather and the tires performed flawlessly. Gas mileage did noticeably drop but that may even out once the tires have a few more miles on them and will be curious to see if the tires perform as well as they have off-road and in inclement weather once they have more miles on them, say around 20k.

Drove from Georgia to Texas and back on these tires. Very comfortable and smooth feeling tires. Much different than my last set BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO2. I haven't experience a winter with these tires yet.

...So far they have exceeded my expectations in ride comfort, noise and traction. The comfort layer works as described smoothing out bumps...

I purchased these after having the Continental AT's which were exceptional. These were about $30.00 per tire less and had a rebate at the time of purchase. These have a 14/32 deep tread which is 2/32 more than most p-series AT's. So far they have exceeded my expectations in ride comfort, noise and traction. The comfort layer works as described smoothing out bumps. Like all of the Conti-General products,balancing went well with no issues. For me, driving 90% on highway, these are really a great buy.

Stock Titan HD 4 X 4 moderately loaded work vehicle. Mainly highway driving but tow snowmobiles to snow areas. Could not ask for any more from a tire 85000 and only one tire is close to ware bars due to alignment when new. Looking to buy another set.

...After 30,000 miles the tires are still at 50%. I would say the noise has picked up somewhat as the tires are wearing, but still not objectionable...

The Grabber APT came as original equipment on my 2016 Titan XD diesel. I bought the truck in late April 2016 and I now have 30,000 miles on these tires. I think they are quiet for an LT type tire. I haul a 2000 pound slide in truck camper. I take the camper on to the beach (tires are ok, but not the best I've had on sand), off road in the mountains (tires are great on gravel and dirt) and I have traveled from Boston to Miami and from NC to Wisconsin at highway speeds. After 30,000 miles the tires are still at about 50%. I would say the noise has picked up somewhat as the tires are wearing, but still not objectionable. Great tire and I will probably replace them with the same thing.

...They currently measure around 7/32" and good even wear. I rotate at oil change time. It's too early to replace them...

These tires came on the F-150 OEM from Ford. I have just over 42,000 miles on them. They currently measure around 7/32” and good even wear. I rotate at oil change time. It’s too early to replace them. The replacement General Grabber APT tires I just purchased on sale from Tirerack are being stored until this Fall/early Winter when the existing tires should be ready go. I’m 90% on road and the balance gravel BLM or Forest Service roads in Oregon and Nevada. No rock crawler. I tow a 7,000 lb. travel trailer 1-2 months out of the year. Maybe 20,000 miles on these tires while towing. I recently had to tow 10 miles in 3-4” of mud on a flat BLM road with a firm road base below and never used 4-Wheel drive while towing. The APT’s had enough “bite” to get me through. I run the tires at 50 psi. They are very stable tires, for LR-C, no side-to-side swaying. They track even better when heavily loaded towing, surprisingly. I do feel a bit of an on-center “dead spot” in the steering as noted in the Tirerack reviews, when traveling on highway not towing but it disapears when loaded. Not a problem for me. This my first experience with a 4X4 pickup towing with On-Highway All Terrain tires. My previous trucks were 2WD with Highway tires. I have been impressed!
