The truck stopped with a thud, and I sighed in annoyance at the situation. Priced at $202.51 per tire over at it’s hard to argue with a good value either.Crap was about the only word my brain could process as I felt the rock shift beneath the Excursion’s mass, letting the rear end slip from its precarious perch down into a ditch. If your truck, SUV, CUV, or other UV is a street oriented vehicle, and you want a mildly aggressive looking tire that doesn’t ride rough, you really can’t do much better than the General Grabber APT. Lovely tires with excellent all-around handling and performance. Easy enough to deal with, slow down, turn gently, and go on about your way. This wasn’t an issue on curves but those 90 degree turns from your street of travel to a cross street. I believe a combination of a heavy front end and not quite enough bite from the tires are to blame. The front end had a tendency to really push into corners. It’s hard to completely blame the tires for this and this part of the review your experience may vary greatly from mine. Where I had a bit of an issue was cornering. The combination of ABS and traction available kept the truck going straight and stopped it under control. Practicing panic stops the tires help up nicely. Careful speed control and brake application allowed me to stop rapidly and with control. Put the truck in 4WD and I was able to drive from a dead stop almost like a normal day. It was a slippery mess with wet snow covering the roads and just about the worst possible conditions other than severely deep snow.Īcceleration and braking were really very good. Luckily we have had a bit of snow this season and the last round I was able to take the truck out and really test the tires. No snap spins or unexpected loss of traction, just very controllable sliding and spinning. The tires are a lot of fun in gravel and dirt as they allow you to hang it out with excellent control. Plenty of traction to keep the truck between the ditches when traveling quickly while allowing for some tail out driving when you put your foot in it. Running on dirt roads in Maine was a lot of fun. They absorb road imperfections and track straight even on the worst roads NY state had to offer.

The Titan has excellent sound deadening but even with the windows wide open the tires are quietly doing their job. There isn’t any discernible noise from the tires. Within the first few weeks of ownership, we drove from Maryland to Maine in varying weather and road conditions. Ride QualityĪs you would expect from tires selected to be an OEM offering the ride quality is smooth, quiet, and very pleasant. I am not going to dive into the off-road capabilities in this review so let’s focus on the ride, street performance, and snow traction.
