General Grabber Arctic LT Winter Tire
The General Grabber Arctic LT is built for trucks that work all winter. A studdable, directional tread with dense siping bites into snow and cuts through thin ice films, while wide channels move slush out of the way to keep the contact patch clear. The casing is tuned for stability under load, so towing and hauling feel predictable with consistent braking and steering. If you want dependable winter traction without giving up durability, this LT tire is a smart, value focused choice.
Design and Features
The Grabber Arctic LT uses a cold weather rubber blend and a directional tread to lock in winter grip. High density sipes create thousands of biting edges for traction and confident braking on packed snow and ice. Wide, angled grooves move water and slush away to reduce hydroplaning risk and keep you in control. Rigid shoulder blocks add stability in corners and when towing. A robust casing with General Tire Duragen technology helps shrug off impacts and rough winter roads. Molded stud pin holes let you add metal studs for extra bite where regulations allow.
Winter Performance on Snow and Ice
On snow covered roads, the directional pattern and heavy siping deliver strong launches and predictable stops. The compound stays flexible in freezing temperatures, keeping grip when all season rubber turns hard. On ice, the siped blocks help clear the micro film of water so more rubber meets the road. In regions that permit studs, installing them can further improve ice braking and hill climbs. Slush is managed by wide channels that keep the tread open, and reinforced shoulders support steady highway tracking and job site maneuvering under load.
Studdable Tread and Tread Depth
The Grabber Arctic LT is studdable, and qualified installers can add metal studs for extra grip on glare ice and hard packed snow where legal. Stud locations are molded into the blocks to place traction points where they work best. The deep winter tread uses interlocking blocks to stay stable, with dense siping for added bite. Exact tread depth and stud specs vary by size, so check the product spec sheet or ask your installer for the correct stud type and local rules before installation.
Sizes, Fitment, and Load Readiness
General Grabber Arctic LT sizes cover popular light truck fitments with LT rated load capacities for towing and hauling. Choose the size, load range, and speed rating that match the placard on your door jamb or your owners manual. Many sizes support higher pressures for heavy duty use, and the reinforced casing helps maintain stability with payload. If your truck runs upsized or staggered wheels, confirm overall diameter, wheel width, and clearance for chains or studs. Our fitment team can verify OE equivalent options for pickups, vans, and light duty fleets.
Price and Value
The Grabber Arctic LT delivers serious winter traction and load stability at a competitive price. Its durable build and deep winter pattern help it serve across multiple seasons when you rotate on schedule and store it properly off season. For the best value, buy a matched set of four so handling stays balanced and safety systems like ABS and stability control work as designed. Check current promos, shipping, and installer availability at checkout. If you tow or run winter routes often, the blend of grip and toughness offers a strong return on investment.
General Grabber Arctic LT vs Alternatives
Shoppers often compare the Grabber Arctic LT with other dedicated winter truck tires. Start with where you drive most, deep snow, plowed highways, or frequent ice. The Arctic LT delivers studdable flexibility, stable handling under load, and durable construction for work duty. Some rivals use softer compounds for maximum ice grip or tune for a quieter commute. Match your choice to towing needs, local stud laws, and typical winter conditions, and confirm size and load range before you buy.
Grabber Arctic LT vs Bridgestone Blizzak (LT lines)
Bridgestone Blizzak LT lines are known for strong ice traction from their winter compounds. The Grabber Arctic LT adds studdable flexibility for regions that allow studs. If your routes include glare ice or steep grades, studding the Arctic LT can help close the gap while keeping a robust casing for towing and hauling. If you prefer a studless setup and want maximum ice grip, Blizzak LT options are a common benchmark. Always compare by the exact size and load range.
Grabber Arctic LT vs Firestone Winterforce LT
Both are studdable LT winter tires built for trucks and fleet use. The Grabber Arctic LT leans on a directional tread and dense siping for balanced snow and ice performance with a durable casing for heavy loads. Winterforce LT focuses on practical winter traction with wide availability. If you tow often or like the straight line stability of a directional pattern, the Arctic LT is compelling. If you want a straightforward winter work tire with broad installer familiarity, Winterforce LT is an easy pick. Compare current pricing and size availability in your area.
Grabber Arctic LT vs Nokian Hakkapeliitta (LT lines)
Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT models are renowned for advanced compounds and, in some markets, factory studded variants. The Grabber Arctic LT counters with studdable versatility, a directional tread, and a durable casing aimed at work duty. For extreme northern climates with frequent ice, factory studded options may appeal. For mixed conditions or where you want to choose studded or unstudded based on local rules, the Arctic LT offers flexibility. Compare by size, load rating, and whether you prize maximum ice grip or rugged, value focused durability.
