![]() ![]() This is what General Tire says about its Grabber Off-Road Maximum Traction Tire: These Grabbers are considered “Off-Road Maximum Traction” tires so we knew they would perform well off-road but were a little worried about road noise and comfort on road. But we are car guys and we weren’t building a mall crawler, so they had to perform off-road too. Since the Black Bear would be spending most of its days on the pavement, we were worried about road noise, comfort, and to some extent, tread wear (we didn’t want to be constantly replacing tires). We knew the Roadfly Black Bear Jeep would look really cool with these new wheels and tires, but what we weren’t sure about was how well these tires would perform. And with these new massive 37-inch Generals, it looks rugged as hell. Before mounting the new General Grabbers, we installed wheel spacers from Rugged Ridge to give the Roadfly Black Bear Jeep a wider, more aggressive stance. We were in desperate need of bigger wheels and tires. We had previously installed a 4.5-inch suspension lift from Rugged Ridge, but we had been running on the tiny OEM wheels and tires. Wheels and tires have to be one of the single biggest changes you can make to a Jeep. It’s amazing what a difference new wheels and tires make on a Jeep. The total X 3 range covers 37 articles.Its easy to see from just one look how awesome the Roadfly Black Bear Jeep looks with its new 37-inch General Grabber All-Terrain Tires, mounted on 18-inch MR308 wheels from by Method Race Wheels, thanks to our awesome tire and wheel sponsor,. 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. 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. ![]()
