Pickup and SUV owners who live in warm climates -- or who switch to snow tires in the winter -- wholeheartedly recommend the General Grabber UHP as a good-quality, three-season highway tire. It gets good traction on wet and dry roads, and owners say the Grabber UHP is long wearing. Its government treadwear rating is about half that of the top all-season truck tire, the General Grabber HTS (*Est. $165), however, and the three-season Grabber UHP carries no treadwear warranty (the all-season HTS is covered for 60,000 miles). Meanwhile, the all-season Grabber HTS gets equally high owner ratings for wet and dry traction. Experts used to recommend three-season tires for their better grip, but now that all-season tires offer equally good traction, they're the top choice.
Few experts test the General Grabber UHP, but we did find it in a head-to-head sport tire test by TireRack.com staffers. Owners also post reviews at TireRack.com and at TiresTest.com. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's SaferCar.gov posts official treadwear, traction and heat-resistance ratings for most tires, including the Grabber UHP.
