Arrow General Grabber Tires????

Does anyone know if General Tires makes any of the Grabber series in the 17" rim? I have mailed them, and get no response at all from them....going to need new tires soon, and have looked at the Bridgestone Dueler A/T with UNI-T, and have gotten a good price, but want to know what other option I have. Any info would be great!!!

I had a Nissan 4x4 a couple of years ago, It came stock with the General Grabber tires on it. I personaly didnt like the tires. They didnt perform very well offroad, and the tread was real soft. You might have better luck with them, but I want ever buy any more.

Well, after owning a set of Generals I can tell ya that they aren't very good. My dad just got a new 2000 SD 250 4x4 that came with the General Grabbers, and they aren't good either. Even for new tires they slip in the rain, and not much sidewall for a 4x4.

Mudder-
Thank you for that information, I was thinking that they didn't make the 17" but wasn't completely sure. I would love to put the BFG All-Terrians k/o on my truck, but they are really pricey......as I am sure that you know. Thanks for the list of other options on tires as well. I am thinking right now that I will probably end up going with the Bridgestone Dueler A/T's.
