I swapped out my factory Michelin’s last summer as the we’re getting down to around 5/32 and really didn’t provide wet weather performance anymore. I went with General Grabber ATX in the factory size and have been extremely happy to date. They are very good in the snow and rain, as for wear it’s harder to tell as I’ve only got around 15000km’s on them currently but they have only worn down to 14/32 to date - should be a 60000-70000km tire.
Well i hope your Generals last longer than the OE's on my 11 DRW did. At 25k they only had 1/3 tread left and had a big tread separation on a front tire.
It’s the newest revamp of their Grabber line, I agree that the **** that got put on as OEM over the last several years wasn’t much good but everything I’ve read and now experienced with the latest batch of new General products has been positive. Normally I run Michelin’s but decided on a change because of all the positive reviews and tests, plus these tires were nearly 600$ less for the set than another pair of the Michelin AT2’s so I figured why not.
I run Defender MS on my wife’s Explorer during the summer and also Pilot Super Sports on the Shelby so I’m quite familiar with the quality and performance.
