Incredibly good in deep snow (remember the Beast from the East?) and sub zero temperatures - the best I have ever driven. From my experience just as good as a good road tyre. I don't drive hard enough in the dry to know much about dry handling etc., but the AT3's are excellent to drive in the wet. These were significantly more expensive and definitely no better - but they are getting old and of course tyre technology is (I hope.) continuously improving each year. Traditionally I have used Goodyear Wrangler AT's and BF Goodrich AT's (and still have a set on an Jeep CJ7 that I also use - it only does a couple of thousand miles a year so they refuse to wear out.). Also some green laning in Wales! As regards longevity, the 43,000 represents the highest figure I have ever got out of a set of tyres, and it is only the fronts which are now on the limit.
GRABBER AT 3 PLUS
Numerically most miles generally round town and motorway, but frequent/significant grass, mud and gravel, plus hundreds of miles of snow each year (in the Alps). It will vary slightly by size but somewhere around 9.5mm / 12/32" is a good bet. What is the depth of the tread on a new grabber AT3 on an 18inch wheel? Also check out Firestone Destination AT2 if it's available in your region. This looks like the European version of the Grabber APT so should be at the more comfortable end of AT tyres. If we don't list all the Grabber AT3 label scores on the main page, then it is best to consult the manufacturers website for the latest information. The EU ratings normally indicate a A-H rating for each.ĮU label scores depend on size and dot codes. If one had to compare the General Grabber AT3 to the Goodyear HP all Weather, what EU ratings would the Grabber get in terms of Fuel efficiency and road noise. Looking at the test results above how come the "wear" results is so bad ? If it's a great tyre ? Other than that they seem just the job ?Īt time of writing, neither of the two reviews of the General Grabber AT3 have given a score for wear, so it isn't that the wear score is bad, it's just that no one has graded it yet. Questions and Answers for the General Grabber AT3 This tyre replaced the General GRABBER AT2. These tyres are approved for speeds of up to 150 mph and as an all-season tyre, the Grabber AT3 bears the M+S mark and the snowflake symbol to signify safe handling on snow-covered surfaces. The Grabber AT3 will be available in 44 sizes for rims between 15 and 20 inches, with an additional 20 LT and C sizes to follow in the spring of 2017. In off-road use, grip in mud and on wet grass has been improved and the tyre presents higher resistance to tread damage than its predecessor. On wet and dry surfaces, the new Grabber AT3 performs at the same high level as its predecessor, while traction on snow has been substantially improved. The balanced block geometry of the tread with low stiffness and the specially modified arrangement of the blocks in the center of the tread reduce vibration in the tyre, providing good ride comfort on the road. The third technology, known as “ComfortBalance” demonstrates the developers’ success in overcoming the conflicting interests of ride comfort on road and good off-road grip. This combination of design features boost the self-cleaning properties of the tread, permits good interlocking with loose surfaces and provides a large number of edges to deliver grip in every direction. “DuraGen”, is a rubber compound that provides excellent rip resistance and improves mileage in rough terrain.
The technologies consist of “TracGen”, which includes an open shoulder design, traction ridges which the developers call “traction pockets and sipes arranged at different angles to enhance grip properties. The Grabber AT3 features three new technologies from General Tire that allow for high grip both on and off-road, enhanced acoustic performance and improved mileage.
