    Exactly!:D But she doesnt understand the performance part of it, other than we used to get stuck a lot, but now we dont! Air down to like 15psi and they just tear it up! No shit either! Like i said i use the shit out of them, as well as owning the BFG's, and the bfg;s didnt perform anywhere close to these tires. Shit i thought the Grabbers were expensive, look at the Mickey's. The Atz in the same size i run are like 320 a piece, but they perform excellent, and i have seen this first hand. Gregero(Greg) Has them on his truck and he loves them!

    interesting...because i was out at pismo this weekend and my grabbers dug me into stuck after stuck. it was pathetic. even at speed i could feel the tires wanting to dig

    i had them down to 8 PSI, my locker was on and skinny pedal was pinned...motors was running at 4 RPM almost the whole time.

    if i were to re-gear, i know that would help alot. the stock 4:10 can't get the power to the rear wheels and the tires being 67 lbs a pop, plus the weight of the wheels makes it hard for my 190 HP engine

    Dune sand and wash sand are two different elements, but Pismo dune sand is in a class of its own. Hard stuff to run in. Thats why i chose to not go to pismo! Didnt want to be stuck all day long.:D

    i absolutely love my generals as well, compared to my previous toyo open country's the generals are amazing, i can stop and screw around in areas where i would have had to haul ass in. i have tested mine in the desert, hill climbing, decending, washes, mud and some mild rocks and they havent disappointed me yet. they are also very nice on the street, for how meaty they actually are i find them to be very quiet. the tread wear is also very well so far. yes they are really overrated and expensive but i think ive found my favorite tire:cool:

    The all terrains are good for the occasional offroading IMO. The sidewalls are too weak for my taste. As I found out on this run. I guess sand they would be ok but my Terra Grapplers had my ass end all over the place in the wash areas.
