General Grabber A/T tires

[gertman]

Anybody own a set how do you like them? The tread looks very similar to the BF Goodrich A/T's but they are alot cheaper.

Generals tend to wear fast. I own BFG.

I had BFGs on my jeep, and I thought I loved them. They lasted forever.
I put some Falcon A/T on there late last yr and so far I love them. The tread is not as aggressive as the BFG, and the improved ride and decrease in road noise have been amazing. Can't say yet how long they'll last, but for 1/3 the price of the BFGs I'm very pleased.

Who makes and sells Falcon?

They are a Japanese tire - I think.
Mine are Falcon High Country A/T.

You pay for what you get... BFGs are the only way to go. IF you do the math on millage vs cost you can see that it pays to go with BFGs. A $1000 set of tires that you get 50K mi out of is cheaper to run per mile than an $800 set of tires that you get 30K mi out of.

No arguement on the BFG's getting great mileage, but as I said, the Falcons were 1/3 the price. If I get half the mileage, I still come out ahead on the money.

I put a set on my K-5 last winter. Couldn't tell you much about the wear as I mainly use the truck hunting/fishing/around the farm, its not on the road every day. They do pull good and I think they clean out easier that the BFGs that were on there last

Not much experience with the Grabbers, but I've run several sets of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos. Best tires I have ever owned! Nice and quiet on road and plenty of traction and durability off road. Dad put a set on his truck this winter and swears by them after all the snow he's had in NE Ohio. -Usually get around 50K+ mileage with routine rotations and alignments.

Thanks for the replies, I decided to go with the BFG A/T's for a little more money.
