    This update is a long time coming but here it goes. After 10k miles here is my opinion of the Grabbers. I have had them in the sand and mud but mostly on road.

    In the sand they did very well. They dug great. I did not air down but I can only imagine how much better they would be. I was able to stay in 2 wheel drive while others had to kick in 4wheel.

    In mud i was surprised how well they did since they were designed for desert racing. The big tread lugs cleaned out very well. and they threw some mud.

    The tar is where they are lacking. I know its dumb to say that for an offroad tire but I have seen and experienced better mud terrains on the road. These ties feel very unstable at highway speeds and while towing. They tend to wander. They do produce some highway noise and vibration. I have also found my rims throw more weights than my Bridgestones did. I would not recommend these tires to a person intending to do more than 75% on road driving.

    All that being said they are wearing very good. I do not see a lot of wear with the exception of a few slices in the treads from when I went crawling up some granite. I hope this was helpful. Ask me any questions if I left a detail out.
