The General Grabber X3 is currently available in a number of 15-20 inch sizes with many more coming in 2017. General has done what they can in reducing much of the noise with their tread pitch design, but you can expect to hear a bit more noise than your standard AT tire. One of the issues with such an aggressive high-void tread design is the added road noise it produces. It’s nice to see these sipes being full-depth to get the most performance out of the tread life. On the street, the Grabber X3 features full-depth sipes around the tread for increased traction on wet or snow covered pavement.

To aid in further protecting the sidewalls from punctures and other damage, General has added deflection ribs to avoid rocks from penetrating the sidewall.

Stone bumpers in the tread grooves prevent rocks from building up and help to minimize stone drilling and damage to the tire.

The X3 uses a tougher cut and chip resistant tread compound to go with a 3-ply construction, ultra-high strength steel belts and an aggressive open tread pattern that is designed to tackle the most difficult of terrain without issue. With over 3 years spent in developing this new model and more than 2 million miles of testing, General has utilized the latest in tire technology in creating this extreme terrain tire. General named this model the “X3” due to its extreme performance in dirt, mud and on rocks. This extreme MT tire will replace the older and popular Grabber and is available in many more sizes that will appeal to a wider range of truck, jeep, SUV and other 4×4 vehicles. After more than 3 years in development, the General Grabber X3 is set for release in September 2016.
