The
UHP is a General Grabber tire classified in the Street/Sport Truck Summer tire performance category. That means it emphasizes traction, handling and control in dry and wet conditions. Contrary to the category, however, its use goes beyond the truck.
The traction found on these General truck tires can work wonders on sport activity and sport utility
vehicles, too. Like this Infiniti.
When paired with a set of
Zinik Z19 Monza wheels, these Infiniti tires become a complete
Tire & Wheel Package that enhances the appearance of an already impressive vehicle.
Build your own Tire & Wheel package to see if the General Grabber UHP tire fits your vehicle.
A number of our customers gravitate toward
General Tire, and for good reason. If you read some of our
consumer reviews, you'll see that these tires live up to expectations.
If you drive a light truck or SUV, you'll want to consider the General Grabber tire.
The
Grabber HTS is a Highway All-Season tire that brings together style, comfort, durability and performance. Think pleasant road manners. A long life. Year-round traction...even in light snow. And with General Tire's Eco-Ride tread compound, improved fuel economy is yours for the taking.
There's also the
Grabber AT2, an On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tire that gives you year-round competence on and off the road. You'll find exceptional traction on a variety of different wet and dry terrains.
But the General Grabber family doesn't stop there.
It extends to General Tires' Original Equipment replacement tires as well. Whether you're replacing one on your vehicle, or simply need a new set, the Grabber
AW,
ST and
TR are all perfectly good replacement options.
Some people think that all-season tires are just fine for the winter. I decided to find out how much difference there really is.
I kept the General Grabber HTS tires on my Blazer through the first part of the winter. I must say they provided excellent snow traction and handling with their main weakness being ice traction.
I almost didn't change to the snows until the weather took a turn for the worse. I decided to install a set of the Firestone Winterforce snow tires. The Winterforce did make a noticeable difference in the deeper snow but not as much on the ice. I attribute that difference more to the tires themselves rather than their type. The Winterforce can be studded to improve its ice traction but I would rather have a different model like the Bridgestone Blizzak.
In summary, a set of four winter / snow tires are the only way to go if you want to maximize your wintertime safety and driving enjoyment!
Just wanted to post a quick note on this application, as a family friend of mine cornered me at a party and asked me a question we get frequently. For what ever reason the Volvo XC 90 seems to be very hard on just about any tire we put on them, with many owners reporting less than 40,000 mile of life ! In the past four years, I've sold everything from the least expensive Kumho Solus KH16 to the pricier Bridgestone HL Alenzas and Goodyear Assurance Triple Treds, and not had much luck guaranteeing that any of them will do over 50,000 miles.......
Early this year, General Tire introduced the Grabber HTS, and I put a set on my Chevy Blazer to try out. I have been impressed by the tire's wet traction and value, so my friend put some on her Volvo. She has a about 20,000 miles so far, and they still look new ! I'll keep everybody updated as things progress, but if you're in the market I'd recommend a good long look at them

I recently purchased a Blazer that had some
General Grabber HTS already installed. I have tested these once here and I know they get a lot of positive feedback from people that have purchased them but there isn't a substitute for first hand daily use experience.
My experience is that they are really good!
Their wet and dry traction is excellent. They are quiet as well. Handling is good or at least as good as you can achieve with a Blazer.
Too soon for a winter trial but I am sure they will perform well.
I have never had a General tire before and would have been a little reluctant to buy them considering the price and name. That was before.
I would definitely buy them again!!
