General Grabber Arctic. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Improved driving durability; . OVERVIEW: The General Grabber Arctic is a studdable touring winter tire manufactured for SUVs.The tire offers great winter weather traction. The tire combines its detailed directional tread pattern and cold temperature compound to increase the winter road gripping ability. The directional tread design features a high-density wavy sipe detail that provides additional biting edges to upgrade the ice and snow traction. The compound maintains the tire's rubber flexibility in colder temperatures to improve the winter weather performance. The model is pinned for studs, which can be added to heighten the tire's gripping ability while driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The tread's circumferential and angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, further improving the winter weather traction.The model is easily controlled. The continuous center rib of the directional tread design maintains the tire's road contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This ensures a faster and more precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The large shoulder tread blocks, with the optimal siping detail, enhance the cornering capability. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering to ensure a safer cornering ability. The high-density siping detail creates friction at the moment of braking. This manages to shorten the braking distance and ensures a safer winter weather driving experience.The Grabber Arctic has great durability. The reinforced steel belt construction maintains the tire's optimal shape under the driving pressure. As the tire's shape does not deform under the driving pressure, the tire is capable of safely performing to its utmost capability at all times. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
