Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Grabber A/TX
Pros
- Exceptional winter and snow traction (3-peak mountain snowflake rated)
- Impressively low road noise and high ride comfort for an aggressive all-terrain tire
- Strong wet and dry road grip with confident handling
Cons
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy (MPG drop)
- Tread tends to pick up and throw small stones and pebbles
- Mixed reviews on long-term treadwear and longevity
Tire B Grabber AT3
Pros
- Exceptionally low road noise for an all-terrain tire, maintaining high highway comfort
- Strong on-road handling and grip in both dry and wet conditions
- Reliable light off-road traction, particularly on grass, gravel, dirt tracks, and light mud
Cons
- Softer sidewalls can lead to vulnerability against sharp stones, flints, or tree stumps
- Subpar performance on compacted snow and ice compared to dedicated winter tires
- Tread can pack up and struggle in deep, heavy, or extremely soft mud

Tire A
Positive
General Grabber A/TX
Community sentiment toward the General Grabber A/TX is largely positive, with owners frequently praising its winter traction on snow and ice as well as its quiet highway ride. Buyers appreciate its availability in lighter standard load ratings and competitive pricing compared to rivals like the BFG KO2. Minor drawbacks cited include fuel economy loss with heavier LT versions and a tendency for the tread to pick up and fling gravel rocks.

“I've got just over 10,000 miles on my General Grabber A/Tx's and I love them. For the terrain I cover, they are great. If you're looking for a mud tire, these aren't going to clean out very well (probably similar to an average A/T like a BFG KO2). But in the deep snow and ice, they've been great. They are also amazingly quiet on the highway, and on loose dirt/gravel they have done really well. I don't have enough miles to tell you how long they will last, but going off how they are wearing right now, I'm optimistic I can get 40,000 miles out of them (I rotate my tires every 4,000 miles).”

“I feel not many people in this group will like this but I'll post for the hell of it. Some 215/60/17 general grabber at3 I fitted to my A4 to test if it would fit from the standard 225/50/17”

“I have ran the cooper at3 and they are great for a mostly highway tire. I just put the grabber a/tx on but don't have many miles on them yet, went with then because they are more aggressive than the at3 but not as heavy and crazy like my previous st maxx. I have no experience with falken. For what you need it if you're tires the AT3s will be good, they are not loud. My new generals have a bit more noise.”

“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 ***.”

How do we compare tires?
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.
