General Grabber AT 2 review
The General Grabber A/T2 (and its successor, the ATX) is widely regarded as a high-value, rugged all-terrain tire that excels in snow, ice, and off-road conditions. While most users praise its aggressive aesthetic, durability, and superior winter performance compared to more expensive competitors, some report issues with road noise, fuel economy, and a tendency for the tread to retain small rocks.

Pros
- Exceptional traction in deep snow, ice, and mud
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium brands like BFG
- Rugged, aggressive aesthetic with effective rim protection
- Strong durability and long tread life for many users
- Surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride on pavement for an all-terrain tire
Cons
- Tread pattern prone to picking up and throwing small rocks
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy (MPG)
- Occasional reports of premature tread wear or tires going out of shape
- Increased road noise, particularly as the tire ages
- Some users report poor wet-weather grip on specific road surfaces
Worth knowing
- Heavy-duty truck owners (2500/3500 series) report good stability while towing, though proper inflation pressure is critical to avoid a 'floating' or swaying sensation.
- Users on smaller SUVs or crossovers occasionally report faster tread wear and higher noise levels compared to truck applications.
- Load Range E variants are highly recommended for those frequently towing heavy trailers to maintain structural integrity.
