Ok nation question im in the market for tires and would like to get the general grabber tires the ones with the red writing on the side i have an 08 z8d 2wd anyone know if these are good tires? what do yall recommend
Back in 09 when I bought the z85 it came with some General Tires. (215/75/R16) they had no grip on pavement, every corner on the highway you could hear the tires squeaking, so I traded them for michelins Latitude Tour HP.
The tire you mention is an AT tire. I´ve heard is good in some conditions but If you want a bullet proof tire go for the BFG AT´s
Like fixxer said... useless in mud and snow. Ok in dirt and rock. I see them a lot on pre runners here in So Cal and they are popular with those who have red trucks...
Just figured I'd give you another option. If you have 15" wheels, these dunlop radial mud rovers are what I am running. They are a little noisy but cheap and worth way more than you pay for them.
My stock 355 tires were General (not grabber's) & I didn't care for them...like others said - poor grip, rode like bricks, etc. Now I have Cooper Discoverer AT3's and love 'em. Now...I'm not a mud-sucking off-roader so these suit all-weather hwy w/some light off-roading.
I'm normally a Goodyear or BFG guy........BUT I really like everything I have bought from Nitto.
My wifes Tahoe LTZ will need tires soon, I will be replacing the OEM tire with the Nitto Terra Grappler ATs. I have a buddy that put them on his LTZ and loves them. He has almost 50k miles on them and he has about 50% treadlife remaining
goodyear wranglers are the best tire ive owned. they read silent armor on the side wall. exspensive though but I found a new set on craigs list for $300.
Hancock Mudders is what I use in the winter, their a good price for them and they handle in any conditions. Seems like they will last as long as you rotate them. Then again you need to rotate Mudders often. I found when they start to hum it's time to rotate. If you get 40,000 + on a mudder your doing good.
thanks for all the info guys really helps I'm not into off-roading all that much maybe a little here and there and I would like the aggressive look also
Never actually used them but by the looks I put them in the category with terra grapplers. Dry dirt, sand, etc they prolly aren't bad. Tread pattern is a tell tale they won't clean worth a crap in the mud. I noticed a pretty good difference in my old Hankook mts and my cheap federal mts, the hankooks are way more agressive than the grabbers and lasted over 50k,,, but the federal a have much more gap between the lugs and clean well. Prolly won't last as long but they have gotten me in places with a lot less spinning than the old hankooks. We have a decent bit of red clay and I would be scared to stop with those generals, prolly cake up and never get rolling again
