This is the second time i have had these General Grabber Red's. i have never seen so many blown or gashed sidewalls in my life than from shitty KM2s. i would definitely buy them againÄon't buy BFG. that said though, they were difficult to balance and wore unevenly in some cases which are common complaints from the MTRK. in some cases they are the lightest MT style tire available. they are by far one of the best MT tires available, and they are super super light. I had the very first set of 37" MTR's ever distributed to the public on my Jeep. it doesnt hold true all of the time, but it happens pretty commonly. The main thing i like to point out though, is that racing teams who use the OCMT OCRT and the Nitto Trail Grappler, regularly report that they never experienced a single flat the entire race. the Trail Grappler is a super solid tire, but it has been known to wear faster than others. This manufacturing process carries over to Nitto, but they don't make those tires near as heavily built or with the same rubber compound. they would regularly last people on JeepForum 55-60k miles with still a margin of safety on remaining tread. the rubber compound they use in the OCMT was forged in the heart of dying stars. the OCMT is the heaviest tire i have ever seen, but it will last for forever. The downside to Toyos manufacturing process is that it results in a heavy tire. people balance out 40" Open Country MT's with like 2-3 oz of weight total Toyo uses a technique where they spin the carcass and wrap it with rubber in a weave similar to respooling a winch drum - back and forth back and forth. Normal tire manufacturing processis to build the carcass and then injection mold the rubber around it. I'll do 35s if the glass fenders become a reality. I think the nittos are a much harder compound. Was that a sarcastic "awesome" or a legit "awesome".
