The General Grabber HTS (and HTS60) is generally viewed as a solid, budget-friendly highway tire backed by Continental, appealing to truck and SUV owners who stick primarily to paved roads. While many users appreciate their value, comfortable ride, and quiet highway performance, others note concerns regarding puncture susceptibility and limited capabilities in severe winter conditions.

“General Grabbers I found a guy on marketplace who bought some general grabber HTS for his truck and they didn’t fit so he’s selling them. They’re 11/32 tread life and he’ll take $350 for them. They’re my size but I’ve never heard of the brand. I have a 4Runner in Florida so no snow but is this a good deal for that brand? Read more”

“I honestly think the Grabber HTS tires are weak to punctures Just spent $320 at Firestone I was not expecting to pay after only 5400 miles. The stock Grabber HTS tires are supposedly good for up to 50,000 miles IIRC. I barely made it 10% on one of them. This wasn’t the first time the tire picked up a small screw either. First time I got lucky and Discount Tire extracted it without needing repair because it didn’t make it deep into the tread. But last week I wasn’t lucky. Passenger front tire picked up a screw and sure enough, it went in. And it was only about 1.5” from the sidewall so they wouldn’t repair it. I went to Firestone and picked up a Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra. Not a “great” tire but at least I have a road hazard warranty, something the General Grabber tires don’t have. I’m sure someone will chime in about having zero issues after a million miles with their Grabber HTS but honestly, I haven’t had a legit puncture since 2007 and at that time I was poor so my car always had recycled/used/mismatched tires. I also noticed the tires on my Lightning ALWAYS have gravel and small rocks wedged in between the treads even though the truck is on city streets mainly. I never see that on my other cars.”

“I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires. The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions. An alternative I have seen people extremely happy with is the Nexen Roadian HTX2 or the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S... but in my neck of the woods we don't usually use "3-season" tires (which is what all-season tires really are these days) very often, but really like all-weather tires or using all-seasons in conjunction with dedicated winter/snow tires.”
