That tread compound technology also means that when you are driving on-road, it’s better designed to operate there. It also makes the Grabber X3 more durable in the long term and can withstand the added stress of being aired up and down repeatedly. The tread blocks that run down the sidewall, combined with the 3-ply construction allow the tire to survive cuts and slashes against the sidewall from sharp rocks. Mud-terrain tires are often mentioned when it comes to powering through snow, although we’d still recommend a softer compound (a true winter rated tire) that can continue to operate when the mercury drops.Īs for the tire’s makeup, it uses a 3-ply construction and the brand’s DuraGen Technology for the tire compound, giving added durability, protecting the tire itself from punctures. The treads themselves come with a unique siping pattern to help grip, and even provide some grip in snow. And that’s not just limited to mud (as the name suggests) but sand, gravel and loose dirt too. The Grabber X3 comes with the sort of tread pattern you’d expect on a true mud-terrain tire, with four rows of lugs with lots of void space between them to make sure the tire can dig in deep and then spew out loose terrain. All sizes of this off-road specialist are approved for speeds of up to 100 mph.With lots of show and the go to back it up, the General Grabber X3 is one seriously capable (and good looking) mud terrain tire for your truck or SUV.Ī go-to brand for plenty of truck and Jeep owners, the Grabber X3 is the brand’s most extreme mud-terrain tire and consistently gets rave reviews from experts and owners alike. With an M+S mark and the snowflake symbol to indicate its all-season suitability, the Grabber X3 will be available in 19 different sizes for 15- to 19-inch rims. For on-road use the Grabber X3 is better than its predecessor in terms of wet performance and noise, while there is a ten per cent improvement on snow-covered ground. Compared to the tire’s predecessor, its performance on sand and in loose gravel has been improved by five per cent, while performance over rocky terrain by ten per cent. Grabber X3 has a three-ply structure that provides additional strength and puncture resistance. 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 tire’s tread delivers maximum grip in every direction. The tire’s unique design has chamfered block edges with wider tread grooves and narrow grooves in the tread base to enable 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 new 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 new Grabber X3 is a SUV/all-terrain tire for on and off-road use, with a clear emphasis on off-road with an 80/20 off/on-road weighting. ![]()
