GRABBER ATX FULL

Close to our final destination, we found a muddy, mushy, wet, snowy work site. On flat ground the tires provided plenty of grip in the snow and acceleration around corners at a good speed was done without getting the heart rate up. Our mission was to test the Grabbers without 4WD as long as possible. A mix of rain and wet, heavy snowflakes dropped through dense fog as we white knuckled at highway speed to our favourite spot - Big White Ski Resort - just like we were late to get first tracks. If you do follow us, you would have seen the ideal weather for our next excursion with these tires. Now if you donвЂ™t follow us on Social Media вЂ“ you should. As I moved on I cornered through puddles of water at high speed and never felt that uneasy feeling of hydroplaning. At that point I thought twice about what I had done and was very happy there was no slip and slide. The truck stopped like it was on dry pavement. Normally we test the braking in a large parking lot or something similarly isolated, but in this case the opportunity presented itself and mashed the brake pedal to the floor with both feet. As I got up to well over the speed limit I looked around and there was still no one in sight. Considering how wet the road was I was expecting some spin but there was nothing to report other than acceleration. As soon as that light changed I stomped on my gas pedal. As I watched my wipers go back in forth in the downpour I decided to take these new Grabbers through the next test.

The the sipes are full depth so youвЂ™ll maintain wet and snow traction throughout the life of the tire and they say their Comfort Balance Technology is a tread cushioning system with an acoustic tread pattern that provides a more comfortable, quiet ride on the road.ДЄfter a few minutes of admiring the lack of tire noise sound and my pleasant singing, I found myself stopped at a red light with no vehicles in sight. General says their signature DuraGen Technology provides long, even wear with excellent cut and chip resistance, while Stabilitread Technology features a larger footprint and optimized pattern stiffness to further promote even wear and long tread life. This aggressive all-terrain all-weather tire has an M+S rated (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol) but it does have an advantage in icy conditions over other all terrain tires with the option to add studs.

The GRABBER A/TX is a blend of the GRABBER TM X3вЂ™ s strong sidewall, and the reliable and consistent tread elements of the GRABBER AT2. They were noticeably quieter than the all-terrain tires I replaced and sounded as quiet as the OEM all-seasons which I discarded before.

It was a good thing that I admired the new LT285/70R17 tires and snapped a few photos before I drove away or else I probably wouldnвЂ™t have believed they mounted the right tire.

The ATX were mounted on a set of Mayhem 17вЂќ non-beadlock wheels. The tires are so new, as soon as I had announced what I had, the staff hovered around my 20 waiting to check out the new family member. I dropped off the new Grabber ATXвЂ™s at OK Tire in Kelowna to have them mounted and it was like I was carrying around a new baby.
