Everyone I know has had sidewall issues with the General Tires. They are for sure the only tire that i’ll ever own. Heck, it is a blizzard out there right now, roads are completely covered and I just drive normal.” (Nick2004 – ) I live in ohio and have put them through snow, ice, slush, rocks, mud and even sand at the off road park. “ I have the at miles now and am impressed.“ I have KO2’s now at almost 40k miles, 10/32 left, and going very strong, nice wear, excellent traction everywhere, quiet, and i find surprising you feel the 285’s being harsh at 30psi, i have them in 315/70/17 E rated, and i run mine at 34psi, zero issues with wandering, zero issues snow driving, zero issues with the tires following cracks on the road,no issues in rainy days, i run them at 14psi offroading, and can take rocks without any problems, can’t say enough good things about KO2’s.” (rsmwrangler – ).If you do any off road the ko2’s are better and do real well on the road and look better.” (jadmt – ) “ I have run both ko2 and at3’s and for purely street use the at3 probably better.But, if you do mainly street driving, I would definitely get the Cooper A/T3s.” (Freedom JK – ) For off-roading, I would buy the BFG KO2 tires simply because the thread is a little more aggressive.

Still quite happy with the choice of General Grabber ATx over Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. If the BFG tires are better, it is not by much. So it appears Tire Rack wasnt really all that wrong after all. “ I have been buying Cooper tires for my vehicles for about 10 years now.That thread is just over 2 years old I paid 676.General Grabber AT2 Cooper Discoverer AT3 BFG All Terrain KO2 Available Rim Sizes 14’’, 15’’, 16’’, 17’’, 18’’, 20’’ 15’’, 16’’, 17’’, 18’’, 20’’ 15’’, 16’’, 17’’, 18’’, 20’’, 22’’ Weight 24.3 - 67.3 lbs 30 - 71 lbs 32.1 - 72.6 lbs Snow Rating Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating Treadwear Warranty 60,000 miles 60,000 miles 50,000 milesīefore diving in the detailed analysis below, let’s take a look at what other users comments on these tires: Here is a thread a couple years old on the Wildpeaks. Though I am a big fan of the Red Letter General Grabber X3 they are just big money and likely a touch more aggressive than you want. I think the Generals are a pretty good tire but word is the tend to be a touch loud compared to others. I don’t know this for sure but I am guessing it has something to do with the Indonesian process as I had a set of Ryken Raptors on a V6 Mustang years ago and it was an outstanding budget tire but they turned brown as well and they too were made in Indonesia. My only gripe with the Falkens is they turn brown. The Coopers are made in the States compared the the Falkens in Indonesia. Generals Grabber AT2 was the undisputed leader in the all-terrain, all-season tire segment for many years, and the Grabber X3 was a stylish and robust tire. My next tire purchase will be the Wildpeaks or the Rugged Trek. I have the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S on my Silverado as I don’t need an aggressive tire on it.Ĭooler has recently released the Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek that is getting some great reviews. I had them on the Expedition and planned to swap them to the Tundra when I bought it.Įnded up in a Limited with 20” wheels and I bought new 20” tires (Michelin A/T2s) while a good tire I kick myself daily for not buying 18” wheels and using the Falkens instead of buying 20” tires. I highly suggest adding the Falken Wildpeaks to the top of the list.

I'm sure there are some Nitto or Toyo that fit the bill, but considering my preferences, it's just a toss up between these two tires.Īnyone currently driving General Grabber ATX tires? What are your experiences? Most of my off roading is here in FL with a lot of sand but I've also taken the truck to the Carolinas and TN for some more aggressive conditions. Both tires have pretty good reviews and Tirerack reviews actually favor the General. I do take the 4Runner off-road, so it's not just about mall crawling. Price difference is not significant nor really a factor, but it's a matter of $150-$250 less for the Generals, depending on size. Neighbor has a set of brand new Grabber ATX and they've got my attention.

In addition to the performance, I also really like their aesthetic. I'm north of 70k miles and they're starting to show their age. I've owned several sets of KOs and was very happy with the KO2s.

I'll very likely also do lift at same time, so I'm starting the search and discussion now. Welcome! My 2017 4Runner is due for some tires in the next 6 months.
