General Tire - Grabber AT3 - One Year Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- #generaltire #tire #grabber #at3 #review #testing #Dinamic92 We can now consider finished the "Grabber AT3" testing with more than a year of tests and observations and we can report the following:
- It is one of the most silent all-terrain (AT) tires with an aggressive design, and it is not noisier than a regular all-season tire.
- It is designed for all seasons and has the mountain+snowflake symbol.
- It is not a mud or grass tire and mud and grass require some strategy in advance.
- It has an extremely good grip rubber compound, although it is not necessarily soft in depth. The silica compounds do help it a lot.
- It has the best edge/rim protection for an AT tire.
- It has the best lateral grip among all AT tires (meaning the grip that keeps you from falling into a ditch or valley).
- It has good sidewall protection and does not allow excessive ballooning like other sensitive AT tires.
- It has excellent grip on wet asphalt.
- It has a tendency to favor grip with the slightest and subtle movements rather than medium tire spins speeds. It's practically better pulling at a snail's pace or at high spin and not necessarily in the middle range.
- Being a tire with linear and geometrically straight sipes, it has medium characteristics on ice, frozen packed snow and mud.
- Overall its a superb tire on asphalt, for an AT that is some peace of mind and it can be fun in offroad if you can tame it.
So if you are a calculated and smart driver, yes, it would be a perfect fit for you. If you go on our FB group for more data, you should search for the chart and clasament and older Grabber AT3 posts.

This video helped me made a final choice between Grabber and WildPeak, thanks!
After over a year of testing, we have consolidated our review of the Grabber AT3 in a video featuring an "analytical self-service" style. While it ranks second in the overall ranking, it's important to note that its performance varies across different terrains. The Grabber AT3 is an outstanding all-season tire (M+S with a snowflake symbol), providing excellent fuel efficiency for an all-terrain tire, comfort, and safety on asphalt, even on wet roads. It performs well on sand, dust, gravel, and fresh snow, particularly during summer. However, it receives an 8/10 rating in mud, indicating that navigating muddy terrain with the Grabber AT3 requires a strategic and cautious approach. Moreover, it is an eco-friendly design that doesn't damage grass easily, aligning with the current trend of off-roading and environmental protection. The Grabber AT3 is an excellent choice for most drivers who go for weekend off-road trips with their families and occasionally venture into the heart of the forest on rainy days (9-12mm chains are recommended in such muddy situations or for more kamikaze drivers).
What's the name or link to your Facebook page?
Your videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, RUclips was never our priority as most of our articles are in writing on the facebook group, but thanks non the less :) - will do better next time.
Excelent review, I watched it and made a nice clear picture of what these tires offer.
Thanks
I was searching for AT3 tires for my Honda Crv 2017. 225 65 R 17, and thanks to your review I choose this General Graber AT3. Other favorites were: Falken Wildpeak AT3 WA, Bf goodrich KO2. Thank you for great review!
Glad we could help
Well done ....you really have a future in this business
Thanks
I've seen in a demo video of General Tyre that you can deflate the Grabber to 1,2 bar for mud and snow grip and can still do dynamic gravel driving at 1,5 bar.
1.2 bar is very close to un-rim a tire, one stronger lateral hit and your tire jumps.
Amazing video, thank you for the effort. Would just suggest spending a bit more time on paved road manners of the tires in future videos, especially in the wet, because let's face it, most of us looking at AT tires still do 90% or more of our miles on normal roads :)
Well, asphalt images are a bit boring, so while we did our tests we just added the information as text and voice. Grabber AT3 are one of the safest and best At tires on asphalt.
Great video. I'm looking at either the General Grabber AT3 or the BF Goodrich KO2... Thanks, RT
you should read the AT chart on the FB group
Nice and detailed review, thank you👍
Thanks for a great review! I am looking for some mild AT tires for my Forester (that will only take occasional light off-road trips) and the main candidates are the Grabber AT3, Geolandar G015 and the Bridgestone Dueler AT002. Did you had a chance to try the Yokohama and Bridgestone tires, and how do you rate them against the Grabber?
Also, I saw in your table of AT tires that the Grabber AT3 has a very good score on wet. Did you maybe try the wet braking out, on the tarmac, that is? If yes, how did the tire perform?
Yes, performed well on breaking
Nice video.
Did I understand you correctly?
You reckon that deflating this tyre doesn't impact on its traction?
Or just doesn't change a footprint?
Regards,
Can you test and review the comforser cf3000 tire? nice video's very usefull, keep up te good work!
We are more focused on ATs and tires are hard to get for testing. Not many brands support us with a low price to make it worth buying.
Nice Video. How is the tire on wet and dry roads. make a video please
Impressive, excellent grip on wet. Above our expectations, to be fair saved our life on wet asphalt in mild winter.
Thank you for the effort ! I'm a wildlife photographer and spend most of my time on gravel roads and light offroad trails. Do you think it is worth to use Grabbers on a 4x2 Duster ?
Thank you, yes, for safety and puncture protection :)
Excelent video as always ! How about Matador Izzarda A/T tyre ? Iam thinking about getting some AT for my duster later down the line and afaik Matador is being built in slovakia so why not support local business ?
I would be intrested to see tests of Izzarda tyre on your chanel.
Great suggestion! though it might take a while since it is not a tire of interest and we don't have a manufacturer contact. If you could get us one it would allow us better access to original information.
Excelent video! Between General graber AT3 and Cooper AT3 4s , which one you choose? I have a Grand vitara ii and i need to change my tyres. I think these two are a very close call..
Grabber is a bit stronger than Cooper (on the sidewall) and consumes less fuel. Cooper on the other hand has a bit more traction. Both have the same level of asphalt safety. Do you have access to our AT chart? it is on the FB group
@@DaciaDusterTrails thank you for your answer! I ll check the chart , keep up the good job!
Salutare. Super review. A fost unul din pilonii deciziei de a lua aceste anvelope pentru Duster-ul meu. O întrebare, ce presiune recomandați iarna la temperaturi scazute și pe asfalt cu zăpadă? Mulțumesc!
Cp. 1.8bar - stii ca aveai voucher la ele pe Grup?
Hi in mud condition is better grabber or geolander at 15? I have geolander
they have similar results +/- 1
And in grass ?@@DaciaDusterTrails
I want buy a tyres will be perform in all offrad but 4season , advise? @@DaciaDusterTrails
How does this compare the the fallen wildpeak at3wa?
The grabber is much better, remember that you have a chart on our FB group
Do you think that the front wheel drive Duster will manage light off road with this tyre fitted..? Cheers Steve
Not if you face mud&grass, or a rain in offroad.
Is a 215/70 r16 possible without rubbing the wheelcase? Or else what's the max tyre size without rubbing the wheelcase on oe suspension?
Yes, this is the max size without rubbing
hey guys............ I must change my old 215/60/17 Cooper ATT with a new........ Endurance of the cooper is disappointing. In that size, you have any opinion?
Or i should go to the tested yokohama??
Cooper ATT is a summer tire, so you did a bad call
@@DaciaDusterTrails yes, probably. I didn't had many options then. U have Any suggestion??
This or the falken AT3WA?
This is better than falken.
Cum e 112S fata de 112H?
Is better gabber or geolander go15
Grabber, you should search for the AT chart on our FB group
Is the graber better then the cooper ATT? Duster 2023, 60% road 40% offroad, Orginal 17 wheel
Yes
In my experience Grabbers wear out extremely quickly. General will NOT honor the warranty, even if you get a defective set!
