“I have had them on my 2001 2500HD Silverado for about 50000 miles now and they have been great. Nice even wear and very little noise. I will be buying them again when the time comes for new tires. Still plenty of tread left on them.”

“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.”

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.

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 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.
“I put new tires on my truck this week. Since i tow a camper i decided to go with the 10 ply "E" rated tires. Since i put them on i have set the air pressure in 5 degree increments from 40-60 however the truck handles like crap. It feels like all 4 tires are flat it sways around so much. When im on the interstate going 60mph or so if i switch lanes it feels like the truck is going to fish tail. Anyone experienced this? I have about 200 miles on the tires now. Could it be they are not worn in? Or are these tires just that sloppy feeling?”

“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.”
Based on 50 community posts
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

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.
