General Grabber Arctic LT Review

Winter weather light truck tires combine winter traction with exceptional performing durability. Their entire construction was designed to ensure its strength during the tire’s heavy load performance.

Priority Tire offers a wide range of winter tires made for light trucks for sale. One such model is the General Grabber Arctic LT, which guarantees exceptional performance. These tires upgrade the winter traction, ensure great controllability, while reinforcing the construction to handle heavy loads with ease. The General Grabber Arctic LT also promotes a longer lasting usability.

Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires manufactured for light trucks provide exceptional traction in the most severe winter conditions. They detailed and larger footprint increases the surface grip, while the durable compound improves the driving safety levels.

The Grabber Arctic LT combines its detailed symmetric tread with the durable winter compound to ensure a safer winter traction. The tread design increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. This enables the tire to increase the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The compound, on the other hand, upgrades the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The tire is pinned for studs. Studs can be added to the tread to further increase the ice and snow grip during the tire’s winter weather performance. This results in the tire’s exceptional winter weather performance.

The tread design’s wider circumferential grooves and optimal open shoulder pattern enhance the hydroplaning resistance. These tread elements actively prevent hydroplaning by channeling water and slush from below the footprint. This upgrades the wet and slushy terrain surface traction and boosts the winter weather driving safety. This combination earned the tire its three mountain peak and snowflake symbol.

Handling and Controllability

Tires need to be in contact with the road surface throughout their performance. Due to this, it is important that a model sports an optimal tread design and that it has a stronger construction which can maintain the surface contact throughout its performance.

The Grabber Arctic LT upgrades its steering responsiveness and driving stability by keeping a close and constant surface contact. The optimal ribbed tread design upgrades the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver’s commands. The reinforced construction secures the structural stability against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better steering and driving durability enable the driver’s constant control over the vehicle at all times.

The tread design also improves the cornering and braking abilities. The larger shoulder blocks with the siping detail enhances the grip on the road surface. The additional biting edges boost the cornering and maneuvering ability, as they maintain the surface contact throughout the tire’s maneuvering. The high-density siping pattern and the constant surface contact work together to enhance the braking ability. The sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface to upgrade the braking power and shorten the braking distance.

Reinforced Durability

A tire's durability affects its damage resistance and load handling capability. They use their reinforced internal structure to actively prevent damage to the casing and to boost the load carrying power.

The Grabber Arctic LT was manufactured with the DuraGen Ultra High Strength Technology. This technology combines a damage resistant compound with strengthened steel belts on the tire’s inner layer to increase the durability. The stronger compound prevents the tire’s chipping, cracking and tearing, while the construction’s steel belts protect the casing from punctures, cuts and other damage which may shorten the model’s service life. This combination improves the tire’s damage resistance and enhances the driving safety levels.

The stronger internal structure features ultra high-strength steel belts that maintain the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. This reinforced construction does not deform under heavy loads, which increases the load carrying and withstanding ability and power. This results in the model’s higher load capacity and secure load carrying capability.

Longer-Lasting Tread Life

Tires with longer tread lives are more popular on the tire market. Such tires utilize their tread design and tire compound to extend the usability. Manufacturers strive to create tires with lengthened service lives to please the demand on the market.

The Grabber Arctic LT uses its stabilized tire footprint to improve the length of the tread life. The tread features tie-bars that connect the tread blocks and stabilize them during the tire’s performance. This enables the tire to actively prevent tread flexing. As there is no unnecessary friction created between the tire and the road surface during the drive, the tire’s footprint can easily distribute the driving pressure evenly. The forces of acceleration, cornering and braking, as a result, are equally spread out across the tread area, avoiding irregular wear formations along the tire’s surface.

This is further combined with the ideal tire compound, which is wear resistant. The durable compound slows the tread wear rate down significantly, preventing premature wear. The longer lasting and even wear manner, ensures the tire’s extended usability and tread life.
