General Tire Grabber MT

A key feature of the General Tire Grabber MT tire is that it is a highly specialized product designed for operation in specific conditions. This model is specifically designed for SUVs used primarily on dirt and earth roads with high moisture content. In fact, this is reflected in the name of the tire, where the abbreviation MT means Mud Terrain. This term is well known to those who engage in "off-roading".

Applicability

The size range of this model is very professionally selected. It is offered for wheels with a mounting diameter of 15 and 16 inches: four most commonly used on SUVs tire sizes - all with an increased profile height of up to 75%.

Durability

This model is extremely resistant to aggressive external influences. Evidence of this is not only the increased load capacity. For some sizes, the maximum load per wheel exceeds 1500 kg. The basis of the tire's design is a reinforced carcass, which has been significantly strengthened with regard to off-road operation. In addition, its tread has an increased depth. And the compound composition is selected in such a way as to provide maximum resistance to punctures and cuts.

Excellent passability on earth roads

One of the distinctive features of the tread of this tire is the design of the shoulder areas of its tread. Each of them contains a row of wide crosswise arranged blocks. These tread elements have a complex structure, part of which is actually located on the sidewalls of the tire. It contains numerous and at the same time deep gripping edges, thanks to which increased traction is provided when moving on dirt roads with low bearing capacity. In addition, it should be noted that it is possible to reduce pressure without the risk of wheel deflation. In this case, the contact patch will not only increase, but also contain additional gripping edges.

Optimal performance on roads and off-road

The tread pattern of this model is designed taking into account the features of operation not only on off-road, but also on ordinary roads. This has documentary evidence in the form of a speed index Q for all tire sizes. But at the same time, the manufacturer indicates that it is intended for operation on asphalt roads and off-road in a ratio of 20/80.

20 percent is provided by the design of the central part of the tread, where the distance between the blocks is significantly less than that of similar elements in the shoulder areas. At the same time, the gripping edges formed by them are located at a strong angle relative to the direction of movement. Such a design, on the one hand, improves traction properties and directional stability at high speed, and on the other hand, reduces rolling resistance, as well as the level of noise and vibration.

In turn, 80 percent is provided by the design of the shoulder areas. The drainage grooves located in this part of the tread are so wide that the blocks separated by them on earth roads become full-fledged mud grips.
