General Tires

The General Grabber tire is an off road maximum traction tire that was create for full sized trucks and light trucks. This tire was created for short course driving and for racing competitions in the desert. You will find this tire with red letter styling on the sidewall. These tires look rugged, feature an aggressive tread design and performs at an outstanding level. The Grabber is made from the General Tire’s Duragen compound which has been molded into a Strake & Chamfer symmetric patented pattern. The design features strake grooves that sweep from one shoulder to the other. This tread lug face therefore opens to the terrain while the chamfered lug corners create a number of pockets throughout the pattern. This causes the edges to be exposed to adjacent lugs. This provides the tire with enhanced traction in dirt, silt and mud. The tire has vertical edge shoulder blocks with multi angled sidewall protectors. These multi angled sidewall protectors allow side bite which helps to protect against punctures. The tread design is also fitted with Acoustic Modulation Sound Technology (AMST) which is a sound wave suppression technology that helps with noise reduction on the road. Internally the General Grabber features two steel belts that have been reinforced with spirally wound nylon over a three ply reinforced casing. This is what gives the tires their ability to be durable while standing up to the challenges of driving in off road conditions.

The General Grabber UHP is a street / sport truck summer tire. General developed the Grabber UHP for drivers of high performance pickups, sport activity and sport utility vehicles. The Grabber UHP tire was designed to emphasize traction, handling and control in dry and wet conditions. However while exceeding minimum industry M+S tread pattern guidelines (and branded as such), the General Grabber UHP tires are not recommended to be driven in winter conditions exceeding light snow. The General Grabber UHP molds a 2nd generation ultra high performance silica compound. General Tire’s mold features a directional tread design with wide shoulder blocks and a central V-shaped tire tread area to combine responsive handling with dry road traction. The V-shaped grooves help sweep water away from between the tire’s contact patch and the road surface to reduce the possibility of hydroplaning and improve wet traction. The tire features an optimized contour and internal structure that includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wound joint less nylon on top of polyester body plies. General Tire combines responsive handling and cornering stability with high-speed durability all in one with the Grabber UHP tire.
