    Yes and if you read you will see I responded to your reply... thank you very much! Since you already posted a photo earlier.. and posting fresh photo... I thought you may have fresh input on them... BUT MORE, I am hoping to hear from OTHER Grabber owners... Are you the only one so far?

    The Grabber data sheet says they have it in a 265/75-16... but nobody has it yet, I guess??

    Thanks, and I do appreciate the feed back!!

    The word out of Continental's mouth directly is that they haven't even started to produce them yet. They're trying to have some in supply before they roll that size out. I'm waiting on General to hand me a set to try them out.

    They are very controlled in the dirt. There is almost no play in them at speed. I don't even notice any sound difference on highway with my music playing. I have driven about 5k miles on them and just rotated them for the first time and they seem like they haven't worn down at all.

    Thank you... My Discount Tire dealer didn't know they existed when I went to him with questions (a few months ago when they were released from the 4 Wheel Parts exclussive). What is Continental's connection with General Tire? Thanks for 'the word', from a distributor!

    Thank you. How about without the music on...? I could drown out the hum of the Cooper Discoverer STTs I used to have when I turned up AC/DC loud enough, too!
