From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Continental CrossContact A/TR is widely regarded as a highly durable and versatile all-terrain tire, praised for its exceptional longevity and strong performance across varied road conditions. While most users report excellent traction in wet and snowy environments, a minority of owners have expressed concerns regarding ride comfort and inconsistent warranty support from the manufacturer.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and long-term durability
- Strong traction in both wet and dry road conditions
- Impressive snow and ice performance for an all-terrain tire
- Aesthetically pleasing tread and sidewall design
Cons
- Reports of a jarring or uncomfortable ride quality
- Inconsistent customer service regarding warranty claims
- Potential for increased fuel consumption
- Mixed feedback on hydroplaning resistance
Observations
- Users operating these tires on SUVs like the Mercedes ML report high confidence in challenging winter conditions.
- Owners of vehicles like the Subaru Forester have noted the tire's ability to maintain performance over extremely high mileage (exceeding 130,000 km).
The General Grabber A/T (specifically the ATX variant) is widely regarded as a high-value, versatile all-terrain tire that excels in snow, ice, and varied off-road conditions. While most users praise its comfort and quiet road manners, some report concerns regarding tread life, fuel economy, and a tendency for the tread pattern to retain and eject small rocks.
Pros
- Exceptional traction in snow, ice, and winter conditions
- Superior ride comfort and relatively low road noise for an aggressive tread
- Strong value proposition compared to premium competitors like BFG
- Reliable performance on dirt, gravel, and mud surfaces
Cons
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy for many users
- Tread pattern prone to picking up and throwing small rocks
- Inconsistent tread life reports, with some users experiencing premature wear
- Occasional reports of wet-weather traction issues or 'squirm' when new
Observations
- Users with heavy-duty trucks (e.g., 2500HD models) report good stability for towing, though proper inflation pressure is critical to avoid a 'floating' sensation.
- Drivers of smaller SUVs and crossovers occasionally report faster tread wear compared to truck applications.
- Low-profile versions on large-diameter rims (20-inch+) are noted by some as having weaker sidewall durability against potholes and curb impacts.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
