“Yeah Michelin's are out of my price range. Went to sears today to see about getting either the Falkens are another set of Grabber HTS's installed and apparently their online pricing leaves out a ~$25 shipping/handling charge they assess to each tire so I left.”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment for the Cooper Discoverer SRX is overwhelmingly positive, with drivers consistently highlighting its quiet ride, comfortable handling, and dependable all-season traction. Many users report unexpectedly competent performance in light snow and winter conditions, along with favorable pricing compared to competitors like Michelin. Tread life feedback is generally solid, though at least one owner noted shorter longevity than expected.
“I just put the Cooper SRX on my 2013 Overland, nice and quiet so far. The snow has been easy too, I don't foresee having any problems with these tires, glad I got them.”
“I've been running the Discoverer SRX on my 2014 Highlander for the last few years (40,000 miles) and they are still very quiet. Better than I expected in the Winter, too. I used to run dedicated snow tires and knew that an AS tire would not be as good but was pleasantly surprised by the Winter performance.”
“Cooper tires similarities Is the discoverer crossrange the new discoverer srx? I’ve had probably 4-5 sets of srx between current and previous cars and they all look exactly like this. Google says they are completely different tires but in terms of looks they are absolutely identical. 🤔”

Community opinion on the General Grabber HTS is largely favorable, with drivers frequently praising its quiet ride, comfortable highway cruising, wet traction, and affordable price point. The most prevalent complaints focus on faster-than-advertised treadwear and occasional squirm or handling instability in heavy-load applications. Several users also note that while it handles moderate conditions well, dedicated snow tires are preferable in severe winter weather.
“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”
“Well , I have them on my 2003 Chevy Silverado 4x4. Put them on at 42k and now at 52k they look like they are 1/2 gone!! Good riding tire , low noise, great in rain and snow ,even wear pattern ,( ran at 39lbs air pressure / 35 psi in winter) but they are gonna be "iffy" for this coming winter by the looks of them.....geeeeesh. I rotated them at 6 k miles too. Nope....I would not buy the HTS Grabbers again. BOB in PA.”
“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.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
