My Jeep was pretty heavy, so no hydroplaning for me... It was an aggressive tread that worked good in sand and was not loud on the highway... of course back then I had Led Zepplin cranked up pretty loud on my 8 track! :lol::smug:

Yep, CAT-------you must have seen that review in PETERSON'S 4-WHEEL AND OFF ROAD magazine, July 2010 issue, pg 84----looks like a winner to me, too.

(I can't begin to explain why the "July 2010" issue is on sale already, tho) :?:

The Grabbers returned with some great test results from both magazines, and have a desert-specific tread design and should perform well in Baja. I'd run a set on my Jeep.

They look cool... but I am concerned about the noise level with their tread. I wish tires were cheaper and didn't last as long, so I could try them all! :light::bounce:
