I am trying to find out more about the General grabber MT's. Anyone have any insite?

You may have better luck putting this in general 4x4, and changing the subject to something about the general tire.

All I have heard is they have thinner compared to BFG's and procomps???

They have a nice tread for a mud, but I never tried a set yet.

I'm running them in 33s. They have 2 ply sidewalls but I don't know how thick they are. They are light and have pretty good thread for mud, rocks, wet logs and roots. They flex well on rocks. One guy said he cut a sidewall on one but I had no problem so far. They're quiet on the road with decent traction in the rain. They hold pretty well on the bead too in off-camber situations. I'm running mine at 15 psi on the trail but I don't bash them through the rocks at full throttle. I think if your rig is not too heavy with armor and don't have a high crawl ratio they're a fine tire.

Those things get all chewed up on the rocks. My friend here in Price runs them on his rig and they are practically falling apart after 4 months of hard abuse. <IMG SRC="smilies/eyemouth.gif" border="0">

My BFG's are half as scarred and have gone through the same , if not more, abuse and I've ran them for over a year.
