Best test result: #3 of 13 in 2022 Consumer Reports All Season Truck Tires (tested tread life (miles))
“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.”

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinion of the General Grabber HTS 60 is largely positive, with owners highlighting its low price, quiet road manners, and strong fuel and electric efficiency compared to all-terrain alternatives. While widely praised as an affordable highway tire capable of light towing, some users note concerns regarding winter grip, wet hydroplaning at half tread, and isolated balance or sidewall defect issues.
“I currently have the Grabber HTS 60s on my Lariat and they ride and handle well. I I liked them so much that when I traded my 23 XLT for my current lariat, I kept the tires. Ditto on the Michelins, they changed the compound on the Defender and now it is a much stiffer riding tire.”
“If you're not going off-road, I'd suggest General Grabber HTS60. I just put 4 on my 2014 XLT SC 5.0 4x4 for $780 out the door from a local independent tire shop in Delaware. Those were on the truck when I got it, and this is the second set I've put on. Quiet, and good in wet and moderate snow. No issues with towing my boat, a 26 ft Leisurecat. Boat is about 6100 fully loaded.”
“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”

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.
