When you don’t have the money to own two different sets of tires set up for different driving conditions, it’s important to get the best all-around tire that you can afford. That’s essentially what General Grabber tires have to offer. They’re optimized to do well on smooth surfaces like a paved road, but have some elements that increase performance when the terrain gets rough and you need a bit more grip. These all-around tires will work well for most Silverado 1500 owners that want to do smooth and tough terrain driving whenever. The sidewalls of the tire are inspired by race tires and are nice and smooth with slight breaks to shed water effectively as needed. Throughout the tire there are large smooth surfaces that will grab a smooth road effectively and give you powerful grip on dry or slightly wet surfaces. This is the on-road aspect of the General Grabber tires and it’s what most people will use most times. In the center of those tires is an aggressive tread design with deep ridged squares in clusters of two. These squares are offset and create huge traction grooves to bite into softer or less even surfaces. When you take your truck on a dirt trail that center section will bite down and give you traction as needed. When you travel through snow, that center section again will really give you the added traction that you need to keep moving down the road without slipping up and running into problems. These General Grabber tires are tough, they’re versatile and will let you drive in most conditions confidently. They aren’t as good as two different sets of tires, one for snow and off-road driving and the other for nice-weather smooth pavement driving, but they’re as close as you’ll get to that functionality in one set of tires.
