    Nice! You'll have to update on your impression of them after a few thousand miles. I've been looking at them as my next tire. I have the duratracs now, and while they're great, they're too expensive to justify getting again since I don't offroad.

    Add my vote for the general grabber AT2's. I went through the same thing looking for the right a/t tire for my truck-price, reviews, warranty, performance. The AT2 has been described as the best "bang for buck" a/t tire. I am really liking mine so far. I have done some red dirt roads and they handled great.

    The only thing I didn't like about the Generals was the loss in MPG. Which to someone like me is important at 90 miles a day. Fortunately I only "have" to drive my truck in the winter and because of that snow traction is one of the most important things. And the Generals were the best snow traction A/T I've used in the last 25 years. I'll probably buy them again and suck it up on the mileage. They are like 4 pounds each heavier than most other 265/70/16's though. But still 6 pounds lighter than a BFG all terrain in the same size.

    General Grabber AT2
    I have General grabber a/t2 in 265/65r17. I have 53,000 miles on them, still have tread left. I have done little off-roading with them, they do great in the snow. I am thinking of getting them again in 265/70r17, once these ware out.

    I rotated them about every 6000-7000 miles and they have very little cupping.

    Good to read more positive reviews on the grabbers and longevity.

    Those look great! which size did you end up going with? Do you have a side pic of the truck with them on?
