From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community feedback for the General Grabber AT3 is largely positive, with owners highlighting strong tread longevity, smooth ride comfort, and low road noise. Drivers also appreciate its off-road capability in gravel, mud, and snow, though occasional questions arise regarding sidewall damage, cracking, and tire sizing fitment.
“I've always used KO2s but was getting really low miles out of a set on my 1 ton van for some reason. Switched to AT3s and pretty happy with them.”
“I have at3’s on my 19 f250 , I love them 23,000 miles on them and maybe I’m halfway into the tread life . I’m easily getting at least 40,000 miles out of them probably close to 50,000 till I get a new set .”
“Only got 32K on them and installed General Grabber AT3. Took a 2000 mile trip and I think the all terrain tires ride better and look bad ***.”

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.
