Of course, it's a general rule of thumb that a more aggressive tire will have more road noise- it's just what happens because there are more tread voids in between those tread logs, and more space to allow the tread to come around and hit the pavement. You can hear them, but it's not terrible. With that said, the Grabber X3s aren't horrendously loud - they're not slapping the pavement or making a super loud howling sound or anything like that. If you want a quiet ride, especially on the highway, then you'll want to look at more of a hybrid terrain tire, or even an all-terrain tire if you're willing to give up some off-road capabilities.

The X3 was actually built for the off-road racing industry, and began as what General referred to as a "red-letter" tire - the same technology that was used in Baja and short course off-road racing has been built right into the General Grabber X3, so you're getting that strong, reliable, durable construction out of a DOT-compliant, race-influenced tire. This also means that the General Grabber X3 is extremely resistant to sidewalk cuts and punctures, thanks to the different woven fibers that create it. But if you're aired down on the trail, you're putting a lot of pressure and stress on the tires, but they're still not going to come apart on you. The way the tire is manufactured and engineered gives it a super strong carcass, and that means that if you have a flat tire, for example, it'll still hold up, at least for a little while. Duragen is a blend of woven fibers which is three-ply thick in the sidewalls, and in the construction of the carcass of the tire. One of the biggest things that General talks about is the construction of its tire, known as Duragen Technology. So let's jump into it and see what the Grabber X3 can do.Ĭonstruction And Durability Of The General Grabber X3 Mud-Terrain The General Grabber X3 is a perfect, worthy option for everything from overlanding vehicles to work trucks, construction vehicles, and anything that will be heading off the road and needs a maximum traction tire to help them out, while also having decent on-road manners.

One of the tires that we haven't had much time to talk about here at TrailBuilt is the General Grabber X3 Mud Terrain, and we're pretty excited about it - after all, it's synonymous with overlanders.
