Google is good, people here know about google... If you could give us a name, or even a company to base off of, we would like to see some tread!

he's asking about the General Grabber AT2



it's an all terrain tire. why use it?

[rockmike]

if you want an a/t tire i suggest pro comp a/t's these tires are huge,a 35 measures 35" unlike most company"s.Abudy of mine uses on of these as aspare for his 38" tsl's they are close to the same hight no bullshit.[one aired ay 20 the other at 6-8 lb's]

[JesseA]

If you were doing occasional rocks, mostly steet and snow, Id say go for it.
I have those General Grabber ATs on my DD and tow rig. 235s 15 and 16 in rims.

Quiet on the road and good in snow.
They suck in mud.

[zuki_06]

well i didnt want to go over 100 very bad but i might be able 2 do 120 or so. im a lil strapped for cash but would like to get some tires with my next check. i dunno y my pic didnt show up but o well. anyone got another sugestion for 120 or below? i dont wanna go any larger than 30" max but would like some pretty aggresive and i dont care about road noise.

[gunmetalxj]

super swamper truxus m/ts cheap and good

[zuki_06]

where do you get those for less than 120 in a 30" or 29'?

[catzuk]

Search the net or call around locally for tire shops or off-road stores that sell swampers.

http://www.tyres1.com/browse/browseT.html

This is one place that has 29" swamper TSL's for 84 bucks each. If you run rocks and mud there is really no other choice if you don't mind a little noise. Otherwise call some parts places like pep-boys and local tire shops for their generic mud terrains. In a 29-30 inch size even walmart has some avail for under or right at 100 bucks.

Peerless tyre has some
Discount tire has em
Walmart has some
etc..........

Well your looking at the General Grabber. What about the Mud Grabber, or whatever it is, my friend has them on his ranger, and they work pretty good for something thats not a swamper, up here in the PNW. They might be selling the Mud Grabber, for a small price if the General Grabber is too.

[zuki_06]

yeah the tsl's seem like a good great choice but i havnt found anyone around here who carries them. I am going to go to a few other towns and see what they have.

[Hendo]

i bought the general mud grabber new on sale once 15/12.5/35 for $100 each
did,nt last two trips, i cut the side walls on two tires while on the dusy and had to send a friend into town to get me a tire as i was in the middle of the trail and needed to get out. the first cut side wall was on a little tree stub in the middle of the trail
they are cheap no good off road tires

[zuki_06]

wow that blows ^ thx for the warning

[TreeFrog169]

29 x 10.50 x 15 TSL SX I bought 4 brand new from a local shop for $100 a tire. They rode good and did awsome offroad. I also had them on a 10" wheel, and stock sammy.

[zuki_06]

ok i found these in 30x 9.5 all 4 525 mounted balance ect. http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/catal...takm_tire.html
good or no good? look pretty decent and its a tad over what i wanted to go but o well.

[zuki_06]

will a 30" mess my gearing up or fry my clutch?

i think these are a great tire i ran them for about 8 yrs in my rig but in 35 and 37,s they are a tough tire that are street friendly and off road performing
i would get a price from 4wd wholesalers and get a lifetime warantee for about $20 a tire no q,s asked exchange for a new one
my daughter has 35,s in her k5 and she beats on them without any problems

[zuki_06]

sounds like i will be getting these then thx guys. o yeah and if anyone has anything about the gearing matter 2 add that would be good.

[JesseA]

31x11.50 LTBs. 100ish each.

[rocknbronco]

I would save up a bit more money and get some Maxxis Buckshots I loved mine in the mud and they were very decent on the rocks.

You will probably here some negative things once others see that link but they probably have never even run retreads from high-tec.

I have had really good luck with high-tec retreads and will buy them in the future.

Also you can ask for a certain carcass. The Goodyear wranger carcasses I got have held up really well. I don't do allot of highway driving it's mostly a trail rig.
Rocks and tree roots have yet to puncture a sidewall on me.

[zuki_06]

marshall thx for the link i think im going to get the tires i posted up b4 but after i wear those out or have enough to get new ones i will most def get some of those. ive heard of retreading just never knew anyone that sold them. thx .. so about the gearing and clutch issue? will it hurt anything it its a 30?

[Nor Cal Wheelin]

I would go with the swamper ltb's (( cheap and good...)) Or the bfg's...
(( cheap and really good.))

P.S. there is a reason that light duty retread's are illegal in most states...they tend to explode on light duty carcasses..... Please dont go that route if you plan on driving on the same roads as anyone in my family....

[Nor Cal Wheelin]

I missed the gearing and clutch questions.... They will work for the most part. But yes, you should look into getting deaper gears and that will help with frying the clutch... Also look at lowering the trans case gears so you dont lose as much on road performance... 5.29's and 30 inch tires will get ya about 35 miles an hour at 4,000 rpm's.... (( not real numbers, but probably close...))
