It could get pretty technical, belts, wraps, materials, compounds, curing temps, Etc. And the BIG question... "Why don't you make your 235 the actual same size as other 235's?" That's when he would disappear, I have yet to get one to answer that particular question in public and I have tried every time I run into one. lol

The Grabber AT2 is one of the best aggressive tread AT tires. No experience with the others. I'm running Falken AT3W's right now but will save my comments on them for when I get them re balanced.

Default works fine on mine

Same model / same choice. Replaed worn 225x75x15s with the 235s in autumn and works fine.

My '99 XJ came with nearly new Cooper Discoverer H/T tires installed by the previous owner. There are no suspension mods and no issues at all with the tires. At least judging by the "Your Speed Is" signs in the area, my speedometer is spot on with these. (Probably would have been slightly optimistic with stock tire size.)

I have not had any of the "presumed doom" that you may read about on this forum. I'm not saying they are the best tire you can buy, but by no means would I say they the anti-christ of tires like you'll read here.

Living in Eastern PA, I have used them in all types of weather without any complaints. Rain, snow, ice, sleet, dirt, mud. Zero problems.

Thank you. I’m between the Goodyear radials or the grabber at2 but I’ll see when the time comes in a couple months.
