    I had the grabbers for a few thousand miles In a 33/12.5/15
    They are great tires. They are heavy but I had a great smooth, quiet ride and handled great in the city stop and go traffic.
    On the highway they were a little heavy for my 4banger with 4:10s, cruising at 65 was not a problem though.
    I was averaging about 18 mpg mixed city and highway
    The only thing I didn't like it I. The wet weather when you first start driving the will slip pretty easy but after about 5 minutes of driving they stick to the road pretty good
    Since I didn't need the tire for what it's intended for I swapped them out for the BFG KOs, it's weird going from an aggressive tire to an all terrain but it's growing on me, especially the 21 mpgs with them

    I got nittos on my truck, there good but I don't like how heavy they are. My dad has grabbers on his Z71 and has had them for a good while. both are pretty good tires. Im probably going with grabbers next bc they were made for "light duty" trucks...? so I'm guessing there lighter..? maybe unless some one sells me on something else.. my 2 cents

    I think the grabbers are lighter than the nittos but not light, my 33s were 68 pounds compared to my old km2s which were like 60?
    Now the BFG KOs it have now are about 50 lbs each

    well i have 35s red letter on stock wheels and i will say they are heavy. they much definately heavier than the duratracs. I use them in all conditions, they are absolutely amazing on the road, and really not bad on wet pavement ether.

    Now, rock, sand, etc their amazing but a lil rough on mud and ice.
    Snow they dont do bad as long as their aired down, ice is sketchy.
    I live in place that has a ton of snow and they dont come close to the duratracs in this department but you drive accordingly. I drive them at 15psi wintertime and it helps out massively.

    thread ware has been great, no complaints there ether.
    I do think there are better rounded tires out there for my conditions but i will look at adding some sipping to these and see how they do in the cold.

    i have the nittos, but the AT. I love them so far. Nitto is made by toyo tires I believe.
