![]() On other hand, the Grabber ATX is not too far behind here as well. And that along with the interlocking hook shaped blocks in the middle allow this tire to have more lateral traction in comparison. The alternating length and width of these blocks also make a zig zag groove pattern. The deep cuts in its shoulder blocks bite in to the surface of the uneven rocky surface. With 3 ply sidewalls the tire is just built tough.Īnother advantage that the KO2 has here is its aggressive serrated shoulder design. May it be stones, roots, dirt, or even sharp rocks and they would crawl their way out through them with no trouble. You can throw anything in front of these tires. On rocky terrain, with BFG KO2 you simply have more confidence because of their durability. We can confidently say that the General Grabber ATX is the best snow tire for money. That’s why both of these tires are awarded with 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating. In terms of snow both tires performed equally as good.īoth tires have full depth sipes that go all the way to their base.Īnd both tires have sufficient notches on their blocks to grab the surface of the snow. So overall, this would tend to get packed with mud losing its grip. Similarly its narrower lateral grooves will allow lesser mud to evacuate at a given time. In case of Grabber ATX, their staggered shoulders also help in scooping the mud out but they are not as aggressive as the KO2. ![]() These shoulder blocks and sidewalls cut through the surface of the mud and the serrated shoulders scoop up the mud out of the tire, maintaining friction and traction. They further join in to the sidewalls of this tire which are also stronger with bulkier lugs as well. Not only they offer wider grooves allowing more mud to evacuate, but they also have edged shoulder blocks with deep incisions in them. Having said that, the BFG KO2 showed remarkable performance in comparison here. And you can’t expect the same performance out of these tires as you do with Mud terrains. Aside from that, if you are considering the General Grabber ATX, you can’t go wrong with them.Side Note: A better pick for On-Road would be Cooper AT3. No big deal for me, just need to slow down some, and can’t take off from a stop as quickly. Initially it was great, but it has noticeably lost it’s wet traction. The only negative real thus far and it’s to be expected, the tire has lost some wet grip as it’s worn down. Comfort level is acceptable, there is some road noise but it doesn’t bother me much. I mainly drive in the city but will travel off road from time to time, never had any issues going through muddy or rocky roads. The wear is excellent, rated for 50,000 miles, I expect to meet its limited warranty and well beyond. Having also driven on BF Goodrich KO2s on a previous vehicle, these General Grabber ATXs will give the KO2s a run for its money. Admittedly I chose these tires based on looks over performance. After a little over 40,000 miles, I can safely recommend this tire to just about anyone looking for a functional all terrain tire. I drive a 2015 Toyota Tacoma and chose the General Grabber ATX tires to replace the stock tires. I'm being completely honest, General just got a life time costumer. All my trucks will have ATXs from now on. Judging by the wear in these 14 months they have at least another 6-7 years of life left. One month later, my truck is repaired, I have a new rim and that same tire is rolling like it never happened anything to it, not even a visual scratch! The hit was so strong that the rim ended broken and the entire truck moved more than 4 meters to the front and 90 degrees to the right (it was parked), when I saw the damage my first thought was that the tire was cut in half or at least that the internal strings where damaged, well. The most impressive thing happened just month ago, a car crashed into my truck really hard from the side in the direction of rear to front, the car was so low to the ground that the front hit the tread of my front tire. I have scraped the sidewall against rocks, trees, concrete sidewalks and much more, and the side walls still really good, there's no tearing or chipping, and no internal breaking of the strings or rubber. ![]() My truck handles really well since the first day I put them on, they are quiet and very confidence inspiring, the compound is very soft but elastic, maybe that is the secret behind the good performance and comfortable ride they provide. In this time they have worked properly on dry and wet pavement, with really good grip in just every direction, acceleration, braking really hard (with no abs), and turning also on gravel, light mud, sharp rocks and overall shitty road conditions. I have 14 months with the ATXs and they are just the best tires I have tried! ![]()
