Over the rocky trails ATX performs moderately but its performance is not as excellent as of its competitor.Īlternate scooping over shoulder lugs provides enhanced grip while steering over the tricky turns.
#General grabber x3 vs toyo open country mt Patch
This tire does not perform well on ice due to lower contact patch and lesser sipes. The snow particles are thrown back by the wide grooves s the vehicle accelerates, improving the traction. These narrow voids get stuffed with snow and tire losses grip.ĭeeper tread and massive voids allow X3 to roll in heavy snow without any difficulty as there is huge space available for the removal of snow and slush. It is rated has a three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF).īut it cannot deal effectively with heavy snow as its comparatively narrow grooves do not provide enough space for effective removal of snow. On icy roads ATX perform satisfactorily due to extensive siping and higher contact patch, it rolls smoothly over the slippery surfaces. Shoulder blocks are aggressive and notched providing extra evacuation space thus, enhanced handling in mud.
This self-cleaning action allow General X3 to roll smoothly through muddy bogs without getting stuck.
Mud and debris is effectively channeled out through its huge voids. Traction of Grabber X3 in mud and clay is superior to its competitor due to its wider and deeper grooves. This tire shows poor traction as mud get stuck in grooves while dealing with heavy mud. Lesser width of these channels do not allow effective mud evacuation. Off-Road Mud Traction ComparisonĪTX battles with mud to some extent but it faces trouble while roaming through heavy mud as its grooves are narrower and less deep relatively. Grip on dry roads is decreased due to this limitation of area of contact between tread and surface.īut as it has wide grooves so it performs really well on wet roads are there is no chance of hydroplaning.
Contact patch of its tread is minimized due to wide open grooves. Genreal Grabber X3 does not play good on roads owing to lesser surface area and lesser siping of tread. On-Road Traction Comparisonĭue to closely placed tread blocks ATX, it has a higher contact patch which enhances traction on road as more surface area of tread is in contact with road.īlocks contain sipes and dimples which wipe off water, hence, these tires resist hydroplaning and show better wet traction than its competitor. Tread rubber of X3 is not much sturdy in comparison and its tread wear is also not warranted. Prominent stone ejectors knock out rocky fragments, small stones and tiny pebbles out of the grooves and safeguard tire from stone clogging.Īggressive shoulders and sidewalls offer firm handling over the difficult corners. High width and depth of grooves make the tire capable of pushing out mud, snow and gravel backwards as it rolls in forward direction. High void ratio allows only a limited contact patch with road decreasing dry grip of the tire. X3 has a classic MT look with aggressive tread design having wider grooves, raised tread blocks and prominent stone ejectors. The composition of tread is very durable, ATX comes with a tread wear warranty from the manufacturer. Grabber ATX Tread Patternĭue to narrow grooves these are not much effective comparatively in draining mud or slush out from tire.Īlthough tiny stone ejectors and alternate scooping of shoulder lugs provide grip on rocky terrains but comparatively this tire is not better in terms of venturing off-road either on rocks or mud. Tread blocks have numerous sipes and also contain dimples, these factors are responsible for excellent removal of water leading to great wet traction. Large area of shoulder lugs combined with its sturdy composition makes handling on hard paved surfaces, outclass. It exhibits a lower void ratio allowing greater contact of tread and ground, thus has good grip on road. It has a contemporary tread design characterizing big shoulder lugs, frequent siping circumferentially, dimples over tread blocks and stone ejectors.
The General Grabber ATX design is just like that of KO2.
