Brand: General
Model: Grabber M/T
Size: 33X12.5
Price: 350$ all 4. (used and GG was emerging)
Wheel used: 15" Cragar 8's
Lift: 6" Custom lift
Road: Significant noise on road not desirable for long distance. Slow speeds between slow speeds can be a pain especially under 45mph. At most a 'C'
Mud Review: Performs well in in mud - it IS an MT tire afterall - removes mud from tread pretty quickly. It's a 33x12.5 tire so it's a nice wide tire. Have not got stuck in a situation that required winching or some form other recovery. Definitely an 'A'
Rock Review: When deflated correctly - the tires perform WELL. I've deflated to 15PSI with this tire on these cragar wheels and It does very well. It HAS lost some tread on the tire from rock crawling but I attributed that to rock crawling it on my first time wheeling it. You know it's a balance of the tire characteristics and driver capability, knowing what I know now - this tire would be in much better shape and would perform a lot better. 'B-'
Sand Review: I've only taken this to Kill Devil Hills once... and it did pretty decent... I'd give it about an 'B'
Snow Review: Decent in snow, but I'd definitely prefer an A/T tire in snow. This tire was just not the appropriate tire for this vehicle in snow. At the same time, it doesn't have the same technology that my WK had. But otherwise it's a decent tire in snow. I would place it in the C+ range for snow.
Air down Review: Air down in this tire with this wheel is not a problem at all, The lowest I put this tire on is 12, but typically I leave it at 15. It does a fine job.

Overall Impression:
Overall, this is definitely just a trailing tire. It's versatility is very limited in terms of it's application across various mediums. I'd recommend it for dedicated trail rigs, not a DD. And there are some M/T's solid and well-rounded enough for DD application. This one just isn't it. But again, this is when General Grabber's MT tire was starting to emerge. This tire is no longer produced, there are variants available today that i'm sure measure up to the competition
***Sal may expand on this tire later in the future***
