Default General graber ATs?

I am getting a 3"lift soon and need new tires. I want 31" tires to mount on my 15x8" eagle alloys. I can't spend a million buck here and basically have narrowed it down to two different tires. General graber ATs bc they will ride quiet and are only $108 a tire. Or bfg MTs KM2s bc that is Ana amazig tire off road due to they clear better than anything I have seen and looks bad a$$!! T only draw back is that they are $130 a tire and I worry try will have a horrible tread life?

You guys tell me what to do! I drive mostly trails and SOME mud so I could get by with all terains but I would love the look of an MT! So my origional though is the General Grabers. So you guys tell me what you thing of the General Grabers as well!

Thanks!!

I would say go with the KM2 because they are amazing, but good luck getting your hands on a set becuase they have been back order for the longest time. I was on back order for the 33x 12.5's for about 5 months then i got tired of waiting, said screw it and got cooper STT's.

And the KM2s wear is not that bad. My good friend had the 33x10.5 and had them for about 3 years and sold them with about 50% tread left. Then he went to the 35s.

O I didn't know that! Onlinetires.com doesn't say that but it probably is true.

So does anyone know how the gener grabber are as far as performance and treadlife?

I know some one has to have had these tires. Just need a review(traction, noise, treadwear) on them before I spend $500. thanks.

i had General Grabber AT2's and i have nothing but positive feed back, good sidewall (2 ply, but i ran them against rocks a crazy amount and never had an issue) good mileage, low road noise, good in everything from hot sticky pavement, wet pavement, snow, mud, and the trails

We've got them in 235/75/15. Only had them for a thousand miles or so, but very pleased so far. Not noisy, and from little we've done with them they seem to have good traction. Spoke with several online and locally, and these tires came pretty highly recommended...

I'm glad I stumbled apon this thread. I have brand new 31.inch goodyears on my cherokee but was worried about my next set costing a lot. I'm used to car tires which are half the price. I'm gonna look around for those generals when mycurrent rubberis done for.
