Spring is upon us, which means warming weather, extra precious hours of sunlight, and a renewed vigor for the outdoors. Whether your perfect getaway involves the remote, wooded mountain hunting shack, the open, wide vistas of a beautiful fishing lake, or the massive, expansive sprawl of the desert floor, getting to the spot can often be the most challenging part.
Along with warmer ambient temperatures, Spring also brings something else—snowmelt. For a large portion of the country, snowmelt means more trail access. However, it can also mean challenging trail conditions. Rapid snowmelt can erode unpaved surfaces in a matter of hours, exposing rocks, debris, and ruts that could have you in a bind before you even get to your blind.
If you’re anything like me, you try to squeeze every last drop of life out of your truck’s tires. My last tire change happened on the side of a particularly curvaceous and dark two-lane mountain highway. Alone and armed with a flimsy bottle jack, I fumbled through what felt like a NASCAR-paced tire change between nervously staring at passing groups of traffic. Exciting, yes, but also an altogether avoidable experience. I was about 5,000 miles past 3/32” tread depth, basically asking for that small rock in the road to cut the carcass of my past-worn rubber. Don’t be like me, replace your tires before they slow or stop your camping trip.
No matter what degree of tread chunkiness you require to get to your Springtime Spot, General Tire has the right smooth-riding, sweet-handling, dirt-gripping rubber to get you there—the legendary Grabber A/T X.
For the long-haul camper or fisherman who needs a true-wearing, smooth-riding and quiet tire that will get through the dirty stuff without any issues, the General Grabber A/T X offers up to a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty. It also offers incredible wet braking, snow traction, and treadwear. Grabber A/T X is available in a wide variety of tire sizes from 205/75R15 to 325/60R20, intended for light truck and SUV use. General’s DuraGen Technology means that the Grabber A/T X is designed with a robust method of construction and materials that enhance the tire’s strength, durability, cut/chip resistance, and off-road traction. DuraGen-built General tires also include clever tricks such as stone bumpers embedded in the treads to help shed rocks that get stuck between tread blocks, and a broad casing contour for a flatter, wider contact patch.
If your trips involve more dedicated dirt backroad time than street miles, the Grabber A/T X will feel right at home. This cleverly designed tire carries the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol for severe winter conditions, should you encounter any leftover snowpack on your way out. The Grabber A/T X still offers great road manners and treadwear, as well as low road noise for long commutes. Increased grip on loose surfaces, better mud shedding, and enhanced rock protection make this a great daily-drivable all-terrain all-season tire.
For the offroad crowd that drives their truck to the trailhead and then throws it into 4-wheel drive, Grabber A/T X has you covered to the end of the trail and back. The A/T X is the most aggressively-treaded all-terrain Grabber tire before you start getting into mud terrain territory. It retains stellar on-road manners but provides incredible bite in the dirt paired with aggressive styling and a robust carcass. The Grabbers are all available with standard black sidewall or raised white lettering, in case you prefer a more classic look.

I was able to get the full-size spare on the truck and continue on to my camp spot that night. The next morning, I unhitched and took the truck to the nearest town for a new set of General Grabber tires. I wasn’t going to let another flat taint the memory of this camping trip. Turned out to be a fantastic three-day getaway, stress free as it should be.
