Anyone towing with General Tire Grabber A/T X tires?
Leaning towards replacing my Nitto Ridge Grapplers with these. Just wondering what folks think about them. grapplers have been great, but are more than I need.
Would love to hear how they feel towing, wear and noise and comfort
Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have experience but also interested.
The Generals get good reviews. I am also looking at a couple of others:
The Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws; despite the aggressive looking appearance, apparently they do very well on road and with heavy loads. (reviewers say, for an AT tire, low noise, long wearing, great on wet and snow, etc)
Another new one with very good reviews, but harder to find in my area, is the latest Toyo Open Country AT3's.
I will be watching to see what others experience has been.

Had them on our old truck and was happy with them.

I put the GT A/T X Grabbers on our Truck back in Sept of '19. I have 11,500 miles on them and like them very well. At least 90% of those miles are towing one of our 5ers. They balanced well, ride good and are wearing well. Great in wet/rainy conditions. I've rotated them three times since installing. (Rears wear much quicker when towing all the time so I rotate often.)
They replaced the original Michelin's. I much prefer an AT tread as I am often off pavement. They are slightly louder than the OEM Michelin's now that they have a few miles on them. Not annoying loud or anything close. Keep them rotated and you can keep the noise to a minimum.
I like them enough to say when these wear out, I'll be putting the same tire back on.

Just put the General All Season HTS 60 tires on my truck. After only a few hundred miles, they seem to be a less harsh ride then the Michelins they replaced. I have no complaint with the Michelis except the fact that they were way too costly for any possible benefit other then brand bragging rights. I like the $70 rebate that I received too.

Another AT tire I absolutely love is the Firestone Destination AT and AT2.
I ran them on my prior Duramax for over 100k miles. The only reason I didn't go back with them is they don't make it in the OEM size on my truck. 275/70/18
So far, I like the Grabbers as well but time will tell if I get the same wear.

Is this the Firestone AT2 size you were looking for? It's the Transforce, not the Destination, but I'm using the LT265-70R18 on our truck and it is great.

Wish they made them in an F or E range. Would be on the Montana for sure.
