Good tire. Not super in snow but not terrible. They a heavy but usually dont require much balancing...mine didn't anyways. I traded em out for bfg all terrains because they "felt" better in the snow.

Re: general grabber red letter tires.

I have read on another forum that they are primarily a desert tire, and are excellent in dry / rocky conditions.... OK on dry pavement but not so much in rain or snow. Never ran them myself so IDK, just passing along what I have heard.

Yeah that's kinda what I read too, I ended up going with the Mickey Thompsons mtz, was able to get them for $850 at pepboys, that's a 33/12.5/15 too, kinda wish the lettering was red like the grabbers... Maybe next time.

Re: general grabber red letter tires.

Well, I tend to buy tires based on how they perform, not the color of the lettering.... though I'm first to admit I'm an old fart with no sense of style.

Can you buy coloring sticks (or paint) that's designed for tires? If your local parts store doesn't have anything suitable, maybe someplace like JC Whitney? Just a thought...

Haha, they do perform "okay" just they last 20k or so and for a tire that is $240 a piece or so.. Can't do that.

See that's what I was thinking, someone somewhere must have something like that. Haha if not, maybe ill be the next millionaire... Hmm.
