Only reason I mention it is because it is the first set of tires I've had that did show any significant change in transmission temps under my typical beach driving conditions - I'm sure it's the additional weight of the tire versus the MT's and other tires I've used.ĭrove about 80 miles in torrential rain and flooded roads and I'd give the tires an 10 of 10 for substantially wet roads and an 8 of 10 on wet roads without potential for large puddles (just topically wet) - experienced no instability, no drifting, no pulling, no hydroplaning even when hitting large patches and runs of water several inches deep - the standard wet road traction actually surprised me considering the tires arent sipped Transmission temps after about 3 constant miles in powder sand in 4-Lo at 15mph in 2nd gear did go above what i prefer but dropping to 1st gear and slowing down to around 7-9 for a few minutes cools it right back off without the trans going out of the acceptable range or even getting close to having a heat problem. Other than the effect of the additional weight at take off and stopping I have very little negative to stay about the tires. The total X 3 range covers 37 articles.I have around 9k on my red letter General Grabbers in 31x10.5R15 on steel wheels - my first reaction to the setup aside from the asthetics which I love is I almost herniated my back lifting them out of the back of my jeep. All sizes of this off-road specialist are approved for speeds of up to 160 kmh. The highly anticipated Grabber X 3 featuring Smooth Red Letter (SRL) will be available in a growing range that will be manufactured in 10 different sizes for 15- to 20- inch rims. For on-road use the Grabber X 3 improves upon its predecessor in terms of wet performance, whilst also offering notable improvements to road noise reduction for a mud terrain tyre and class leading road performance. Compared to the tyre’s predecessor, its performance on sand and in loose gravel has been improved by five percent, while performance over rocky terrain by ten percent. General Tires development engineers have applied Duragen™ Technology in the construction of Grabber X 3 and the tyre has a three-ply structure that provides additional strength and puncture resistance.
GENERAL GRABBER RED LETTER JEEP SERIES
A series of deflection ribs protect the sidewalls against damage from stones or gravel, which makes for highly robust performance in tough terrain. When driving over rocks, grip edges arranged at different angles in the tyre’s tread delivers maximum grip in every direction. The tyre’s unique design has chamfered block edges with wider tread grooves and narrow grooves in the tread base, enabling stones to be displaced faster to prevent them from lodging when travelling over gravel.
All three rely on a tread pattern that features deep grooves, channels for mud evacuation and staggered edges, which makes for high levels of grip on sand, mud and gravel.
To help them meet a demanding set of specifications, General Tire’s development engineers created three pioneering technologies: “Extreme Mud (X Mud)” for maximum traction in deep mud, “Extreme Dirt (X Dirt)” for driving on dirt and gravel, and “Extreme Rock (X Rock)” for tackling rocky terrain. The Grabber X 3 is a mud terrain tyre for on and off-road use, with a clear emphasis on off-road performance with an 80/20 off/on-road weighting, reinforcing General Tire’s Off-Road DNA. General Tire continues its product offensive, with the introduction of the much-anticipated Grabber X 3 featuring Smooth Red Letter (SRL) sidewall markings for the first time following high demand.
