General Grabber HTS60 vs Goodyear Assurance CS Fuel Max — Compared

“We have 38k miles on our 24 cclb with those tires and about 1/3 of that towing our 5th wheel, the only time I have needed 4wd with the trailer attached was when I dropped the trailer's left side tires off the concrete pad into the sand on a campsite at the beach. Only other time I needed 4wd was when we got caught in a snowstorm when traveling empty. The tires have worn well and are reasonably quiet and ride decent. If you decide to swap them I would be willing to take them off your hands”

“Can’t speak for the specific iron man tires you’re looking at, but Carmax put a set of iMpve Gen 2 AS tires on our 300 when we bought it. In dry weather they were fine, wet they weren’t optimal (never hydroplaned, easy to light up the rear wheels) but manageable… god help you if there was snow. They were also worn to 3/32 in 20k miles. Discount Tire has some General Grabber HTS60’s which seem decent, though about $230 more than your most expensive example. If it were my car I’d throw some BFGoodrich Advantage TA Sport LT’s on it, I’m impressed by those.”

“Not a Lightning tire, but here is a picture of a defective tire I had on my Focus. Tires had less than a thousand miles on them. I know the pressure was good because I constantly check it, and my TPMS light wasn't on. I found the tread section. It rolled past me as I slowed down on the interstate. There were no punctures or deformities I could find.”
