The General Tire Grabber HTS60 is a highway all season tire designed for light- and medium-duty vans, trucks and pickups, as well as crossovers and SUV's. The Grabber HTS60 is offered as an original equipment replacement tire; that is, a tire to consider when your original (or replacement) SUV/truck tires have expired. When purchasing a new set of tires it's often informative to review a manufacturer's track record, and history of success or failure in the relevant tire category. While not every light truck/SUV tire from General Tire has been a success, the Grabber HTS60 follows the original General Tire Grabber HTS, which remains a solid tire after many years on the market.

The original Grabber HTS distinguishes itself as a tried, tested, and proven tire in the truck/SUV all season field. The more current Grabber HTS60 only improves upon that model. The fact is, it's not particularly difficult to make a tire purchasing mistake in this category. Far too many all season tires limit the capabilities of all-purpose SUV's with performance and/or comfort deficiencies. So what about the Grabber HTS60? Grabber HTS60 strengths and weaknesses?
