I also had my spare tire replaced with a Grabber ATX and it fit in the stock location under the vehicle without any issues. It far exceeds the stock Bridgestone tires that I had on the 4Runner when I first purchased the vehicle.

I’ve experienced snow, ice, rain, slush, and light mud without any issues in regards to traction with this tire. I had no issue traversing over and around Donner Pass in inclement weather thus far. If you’re in an area that allows, and warrants the use of studs for additional traction, studded tires are nice. I didn’t have them studded, but having the option like these studded tires is nice. You can also order a set of the Grabber ATXs with studs. I went with the P-rated tires instead of the LT rated tires as I don’t tow anything, and since I hardly ever go over any terrain that would warrant an LT tire the P rated Grabber ATXs was the sensible choice in my book. The General Grabber ATX all-terrain tires were purchased in the stock 265/70/17 size. These are currently a new release from General that features upgrades from the outgoing General Grabber AT2s. I also wanted to have a good percentage of capability out on the trails as well so I settled on the General Grabber ATX tires. Since the majority of my driving is on the highway and city streets, this was the most reasonable choice for me. When shopping for my new set of tires I also wanted an all-terrain tire vs. The tires that carry the mountain snowflake designation are tested to either meet or exceed harsh winter conditions, more so than that of a regular M+T tire. One of my buying points for the tires was the mountain snowflake designation. I decided to go out and look for a new set of tires that could go through the 80-mile trip with very little effort and reassurance that I could make it through inclement weather also. This provided a very good test of how the tires would be for the season. I have to drive up a very steep grade to get to my work. I came to this conclusion after my 80-mile trip through the wet snow/slush while freeway driving. I quickly came to the realization that these stock Bridgestone tires must barely meet the “All-Terrain Standards”. The tires that came on my 2019 SR5 model were Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II All-Season tires. These tires can pass through the chain controls without having to be out in the cold chaining the vehicle, myself. When purchasing my 4Runner, I wanted to ensure that I wouldn’t have to chain up to go over the pass during the storm. And, thus, triggering the first chain control scenario of the winter season. So when I purchased my 4Runner, it was right before a large storm that put down a couple inches of wet snow in the mountain passes.

I needed a 4×4 since I drive from Donner Pass, CA, back to Reno, NV, 4 days a week. And I found myself in an interesting situation that most people will probably not experience. I have a round-trip 80-mile commute to work. Introducing the new General Grabber ATX all-terrain tires – An Overview and Review on the 5th Gen 4Runner
