    About 265/75-16:

    ah, i missed that post. seems dumb to list sizes of a tire that have not gone into production yet... even if general is planning on it. i'd call up 4wheel online and see if they have any in stock. crazier things have happend in this world...

    well remember, no tire is gonna be the best in every terrain, but these tires are pretty much an actual race tire thats been made street legal. the guys who actually race with these tires go through all sorts of sand, rocks, mud etc.

    alrighty, got my 285/75/16 grabbers on today. gonna get to test them out in the dirt this weekend. but i can already tell some differences from my old BFG AT's.

    these def drive like a mud terrain tire, not as smooth as an all terrain tire, but they are not loud at all like traditional MT's. they are actually quieter than my old BFG AT's. these tires do like to track on their own while driving down the road. it's nothing bad but def noticable. i'm sure things will change once i get some miles on them and beat them up a bit. stay tuned...

    How about an update from you guys with the Grabbers on how they are working...?

    Would like some feedback on highway noise... Do you hear them hum loudly or at all (compared to the Rugged Trails which I would call silent)?
