![]() ![]() The Grabber ATX in fact offers the best tread wear resistance in the market (currently, compared to other similar aggressive A/T tires), that’s why I added this tire for it, in my list of top all time, all-terrain tires. Though that does not mean, its tread wears off faster as well. So here, each of its lugs rub off the surface with greater friction, promoting rolling resistance. The General Grabber ATX on the other hand, comes not only with greater weight, but also a relatively open design. ![]() Fuel And Treadīeing a less aggressive tire off the two, the General Grabber APT offers a lighter weighing construction, and compacted lugs arrangement, so naturally you get superior fuel economy here. Same goes for shoulders, they are although equipped with mud scoops, with their staggered outer edges, these lugs are still very packed up together and that provide less off-road grip, and better traction on highways. So they get to provide a web of grooves running in all directions, allowing for self cleaning abilities, though with closed up design and foundational supports, the tread gets to do better on highways instead of rugged terrains. This middle section basically consist of 3 ribs, which although seem to be aligned laterally, they also make (slanted) longitudinal grooves within as well. So the tread design of this tire features a clear-cut middle section divided by wider circumferential grooves made by shoulder lugs, as you can see. Let me explain how, by considering its tread. Though things are better off, on smooth pavements with Grabber APT. So basically General Grabber A/TX kept all these terrains in mind while designing this tire. And on rocks, the slanted sidewall lugs provide additional footprint with lowered air pressure. Speaking of which, the shoulder lugs also help a lot in this, as they carry mud scoops on the outskirts, with their staggered shoulder design. Similarly, the sipes these lugs carry have dual functions too, they open all they down to the base, so where they offer wet traction on pavements, they get to flex and chew off-road especially on rocky surfaces.Īnd as these interlinked grooves connect with the outer wider circumferential channels and the lateral gaps of the shoulders, you also get dirt/mud traction as well. With this vertical alignment of placed lugs on all these ribs, the tire makes a stable connection with the road while moving directionally, so you get good enough braking distances and acceleration times.Īnd since these lugs also create an wrapping design forming interlocking grooves, you also get off-road traction with that as well. So this tire give you more spaced up lugs overall, with 3 ribs in the middle creating 4 longitudinal channels, (see if you can picture them). General Grabber ATX although has an interlocking design, it still makes 3 circumferential channels in the middle. ![]()
