General Grabber AT2's

[95XL]

Is anybody running them? If so, how many miles and whats your tread wear like? I'll mainly be using my truck on-road, but might haul the occaisional thing through a field or something.

So if you have them, what are your impressions?

I got them for my Chevy Avalanche, and I don't like them. I was sold ont he price/tread life warranty and the fact that they are severe weather rated, but now I understand why they are so cheap. I have had them balanced twice and an alignment done and I still get a vibration. It is really bad for the first 10 miles or so every day, making me come to the conclusion that they are flat spotting from sitting overnight. They are radials so I am note sure how this is happens but it does. Also they did affect my mpg ruducing it about 1 mpg.

They have very good traction in wet and really good in snow but if I did it again I would pic the pro comp a/t's or the bfg's even though they are almost double the price.

As for the lasting, even on the heavy Avalanche, I can't see any signs of wear.

I got them last year and have about 12k on them and they barely show any wear. I only had a problem with balancing one of them, but it never gave off any vibration and was never a problem. This is my first set of AT and for the price they are great. They don't clear very well, but I guess that's expected from a AT tire. I say if you want cheap good AT for a DD, than this a good tire to go with.

+ they look good too.

Well, thanks for the opposing opinions. I've been reading other reviews about them and decided to buy them. So I'll see what happens...

So, do you like the tires? Good traction and wear?

I have them currently on my ranger. Got them In july and they see highway use at over 70Mph daily. The wear is virtually unnoticable. The traction is Awesome! A/T's dont typically do well in mud, but these things dig right through the slop and get you where you need to be. 8,000 miles and Mine look brand new still. The little "nipples" on them are still noticable, small, but definitely still there.

different size tires wear differently, so if your comparing them to something, make sure they are the same size. i had bfg a/t's (235/75r15) my friend had 33x12.5r15, his wore out in about 40,000, mine lasted over 80,000

i have them on the rear of my 89. awsome in the snow, great in mud, and good rain. only bad is that they don't last through burnouts

One thing I didnt mention though. These Tires at high speed, in the rain, DO NOT HYDROPLANE ONE BIT!!! If your driving around 70Mph on alot of wet road and look in your mirror, there will be 2 dry tracks behind you.
