The Grabber HTS is General Tire's Highway All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossover and sport utility vehicles, as well as pickup trucks and full-size vans. The Grabber HTS was designed to combine style, comfort, durability and performance in a tire that offers pleasant road manners and a long life, in addition to year-round traction, including in light snow.

The Grabber HTS features General Tire's Eco-Ride tread compound to improve fuel economy molded into a specially engineered symmetric tread design featuring an enlarged contact patch and General Tire's Stabilink system of connecting bars that increase circumferential stability to enhance braking, acceleration and cornering. Response Grooves provide directional guidance for improved steering and Hydro Channels eject water from between the tread and road to increase hydroplaning resistance while three types of sipes promote traction in dry, wet and wintry weather. The tire's internal structure includes twin, ultra-high tensile steel belts to provide brute strength while an internal cushioning system isolates the vehicle from road vibrations for a smoother ride.

*Specific sizes featuring low rolling resistance technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

...I'd give them a 10 for rain and snow and a 7 for dry weather...

I bought a set of General Grabber HTS' about two months ago. They are exactly what I wanted on this vehicle -- a good value, great in rain and snow, and acceptable for dry-weather driving. I've already taken two trips of around 500 miles and each time had opportunities to run them in snow. On an all-wheel-drive SUV I had no problems in up to 6 or 8 inches of snow, and only avoided deeper drifts because I didn't want to drag the bottom of the car and get stuck. I'd give them a "10" for rain and snow and a "7" for dry weather. Its' interesting that they make the steering feel a little lighter - enough where at highway speeds I sometimes have to pay attention to tracking straight (using the same pressure as prior tires). Not a problem just a minor note. Overall good tires.

...funny that i regretted not getting 4wd then i managed to climb out of some slippery wet sandy grass ditches without a tow! super proud of that actually...

8000 florida miles on new 2wd XD encourages me to write this review about GENERAL HTS GRABBER as OEM. super tires running 65psi and some light hauling around 50% HWY & TOWN mix. funny that i regretted not getting 4wd then i managed to climb out of some slippery wet sandy grass ditches without a tow! super proud of that actually. also testament to the locker. clearly NISSAN has some classy folks working there because they DO NOT use goodyear, which are not good for more than grinding into new sports fields. great ride and probably will buy again if nitto or yokes are sky high $$$$$

...These tires handle the dry, snowy, and Icy roads with confidence. Whether in two wheel drive on a snowy intersate to a 4x4 mode on county back roads these tires were very impressive for an all-season...

Installed these tires before a trip out to Idaho. The area we were in was hit hard by sub freezing temps and snow. These tires handle the dry,
snowy, and Icy roads with confidence. Whether in two wheel drive on a snowy intersate to a 4x4 mode on county back roads these tires were very impressive for an all-season. Would I go into the deep stuff with these, absolutely not. However, for an all around town and traveling tire these are impressively quiet, good riding, and dependable tires. Thanks General!

...They do extremely well in light to moderate snow...

These came nearly new on a used Honda Element that I acquired. They seem to be a really good fit for the car. They're relatively quiet and Hondas typically have a lot of road noise. They are quite pleasant on the highway, track and respond well. They do extremely well in light to moderate snow. I plan to buy them again.

...The tires are quiet to go down the highway, provide good traction when wet or dry...

These General Grabber tires are the same tires that were put on at the factory when new. The tires are quiet to go down the highway, provide good traction when wet or dry. I was happy with the performance of the original tires for wear and traction. Putting new tires on the truck made it ride like it was new again.

I've always had General tires and never had a problem. The HTS tires are very stable and provide excellent wet and dry traction. I have just under 50,000 miles on them and still have another 4/32 to go. I even made it through Blizzard Nemo on unplowed streets! I would highly recomend these tires to anyone!

Bought 215/70R-16 General Grabber HTS to put on my 2006 Honda Element 2WD about 3 months ago. Comfort, noise level, ride quality, tread wear have all been outstanding. For a tire priced under $100 these have preformed extremely well. I would buy these again.

Well, these tires have an Tread Count of 680 and I purchased them on Sept 2011 after I purchase my used 2005 Jeep at 114, 000 miles, today Oct 8, 2016 I'm at 144,000 miles with still lots of rubber. I can't beat it. Had 2 flat tires in 5 years from nails (on the same tire twice) I spent $420 on set of 4 tires. I wished I could get this out of all car tires for this price. I would recommend this tire to everyone. Thank You General.
