Description of General Tire Grabber X3 245/80 R15 104Q all season
The new General Tire mud tires provide excellent off-road performance and good on-road performance. With an aggressive design, the Grabber X3 is particularly durable thanks to its innovative tread properties.
One of the novelties of the famous North American brand, the General Tire Grabber X3 summer tire is distinguished by its scope. This model was developed for SUVs, most of which are used on unpaved surfaces, that is, off-road. When it was created, several progressive technological solutions were used that provided the tire with excellent performance.
This model is characterized by good efficiency on earthen surfaces with a high moisture content. To a large extent, this is ensured by the configuration of the tread blocks. Those of them that are located in the shoulder areas have special recesses. Due to this, the blocks, when in contact with a soft ground surface, form additional gripping edges, which increases gripping properties. In turn, the blocks in the center of the tread also contain similar elements, but their configuration is such that they reduce the aggressive impact of stones on the tire, increasing its service life.
This technology is a set of solutions in the design of the tread pattern, aimed at protecting the sidewall of the tire from punctures and cuts, as well as providing additional traction when driving on rocky surfaces. Most of them fall on the shoulder zones, each of which contains a number of transverse blocks. These tread elements are characterized by a complex composite structure. A significant part of it is located on the sidewalls of the tire. We are talking about special ledges that are a continuation of the shoulder blocks. The coupling edges formed by them in the lateral projection form the letter X, and in addition to the aesthetic function, they have a purely practical purpose. These tread elements prevent damage to the sidewalls of the tire and also improve traction on rocky surfaces.
This model was one of the first tires of the brand, where DURAGEN technology was used. It is a set of solutions aimed at improving several operational properties. In particular, it incorporates a three-ply steel cord-reinforced carcass, which makes the tire durable and resistant to punctures and cuts in off-road use.
Another component of this technology is the rubber compound. Its composition contains a number of substances that give the tread resistance to aggressive mechanical stress, as well as make it resistant to abrasive wear.
The third element of DURAGEN technology is the breaker. It is entirely made of steel cord, which is made of threads woven into wide ribbons.
