Yep. I have these tires on my 20's. They have about 5k miles on them now. They are M+S rated and can handle some muddy roads for sure. Not too deep though, no mud boggin'. Haha. Havent had them in the snow yet. They are a good rated tire on tirerack and you cant beat the price. Go for it, get them.

| Got em -- Grabbers
I just mounted up Grabber AT2 (255/55R18") . Don't know about off-road yet. The Colorado Rally will be my proving ground. Thus far, I'm very pleased with lower road noise and better dry street handling than I anticipated. Since rain in California is rare in Summar, no idea what the wet traction will be --- I speculate good. 2 sets of Pirelli's (YUCK) and a set of BFG's mounted on another set of rims. These offer better high speed cornering, but the T-Reg is not to be confused with a go-kart. The ATs corner just fine for what I do.

Didnt even think about it when i previously posted, but are you talking about the Grabber UHP's or the Grabber AT2's? The review i wrote was for the Grabber UHP's.

Well, there are 5 different types of General Grabbers. There is the Grabber ST, the Grabber TR, the Grabber AW, the Grabber AT2, and the Grabber UPH which is what i have. The UHP has a V speed rating which is 149mph or 240km/h. That is in a 275/45/20 size though. This tire even has a M+S rating. One particular tire can have different speed ratings based on its size also. Pretty much, you need to head over to www.tirerack.com and do some research. All the info is there.
I would say that your best bet is the UHP's though, especially if you want the speed rating. Depending on size, the UHP's range from a T (190km/h) to a W (270km/h). Now go to tirerack and check it all out. Its an awesome site.
