General Tire Introduces New GRABBER APT

Aug. 23, 2017

The all-new General Tire GRABBER APT is the newest member of the GRABBER family of light truck and SUV tires. The GRABBER APT is an all-purpose-terrain tire designed specifically for on-road, off-road and snow performance.

The GRABBER APT is positioned in a spot that was not filled in the current GRABBER product portfolio. On the aggressiveness chart, the GRABBER APT assumes a position in between the current all-terrain GRABBER AT2 and the highway-terrain GRABBER HTS60. This tire is the perfect blend of all-terrain, off-road capability and excellent on-road performance designed for all weather conditions.

General Tire’s director of marketing, Travis Roffler, is excited to see the response from both dealers and consumers. “We think this new Grabber APT will be a popular tire for those drivers looking for a tire that is mostly driven on the road during the week but can hold its own during weekend adventures,” stated Roffler. “It offers the best of both worlds with very strong on-road manners but still enough off-road capability to get the job done.”

The new GRABBER APT features several exclusive General Tire technologies. Comfort BalanceTM Technology provides a cushioned tread that absorbs road disturbances for a more comfortable and pleasant ride. Additionally, grooves in the tread are angled away from the center grooves to help dissipate sound which provides a quiet ride. StabiliTreadTM Technology promotes even wear and longer tread life via even pressure distribution and a robust tread compound. Finally, DuraGenTM Technology offers high strength construction for impressive durability in off-road situations and delivers the cut and chip performance on rough surfaces that sets the GRABBER line apart from others. All these technologies marry together for the perfect balance of on and off-road performance in the GRABBER APT. 

The GRABBER APT is available in 26 replacement articles in mostly metric sizes of 16” to 22.” Two additional articles are OE fitments for the Nissan Titan. A 60,000 mile limited tread wear warranty supports the tire along with Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Certification*. Sidewall styling is available in black and outline white letter.
