We got to test the AT3s around Klipbokkop’s sandy terrains and I really enjoyed how smooth and comfortable we felt even over bumpy sand dunes. This allows for a smooth interaction with the road surface and considerably improved on-road driving characteristics. With COMFORT BALANCE Technology, the tyre’s uniform geometry with enhanced tread stiffness guarantees more even material distribution and optimised tread block orientation. Additionally, ultra high-strength steel belts ensure an even footprint to further aid stability. This improves tread life in rugged terrain and maximises stability under load. General Tire’s DURAGEN Technology features a robust rubber compound that offers excellent cut and chip resistance, while reinforced tread blocks reduce deformation. An open tread shoulder ensures efficient self-cleaning action for greater traction in mud. TRACGEN Technology uses traction ribs and multi-angled sipes in the tread to achieve exceptional loose surface traction through gripping edges that interlock with the off-road surface. The Grabber AT3 features three key technologies developed to enhance all-round performance: TRAGGEN, DURAGEN and COMFORT BALANCE. While the new X3 is best suited to off-road environments, the new Grabber AT3 tyres focus on a more capable all-round driving experience both on and off-road.

“Your access to any adventure” – General Tire AT3 The Grabber X3 is available in a total of five sizes spanning 15 to 17-inch rim sizes. I still can’t believe the obstacles we managed to climb and, as overwhelming as some of them may have looked to start with, getting themreally was a piece of cake, thanks to the Grabber X3s superior grip and unique tread design. Of all the terrains, the rocky sections of the 4×4 course were where I was most impressed.

This also contributes to greater traction in sand and gravel. In muddy conditions, the X3’s aggressive and open tread pattern achieves high traction levels, thanks to the specially designed evacuation channels, which ensure a quick and efficient self-cleaning action. (Check out the videos below for some of our off-roading experiences.) After all, that’s what they were designed for, so the next few hours were spent on a variety of rough terrains (mud, rock and dirt). Of course, the Grabber X3 is best suited to heavy-duty off-road driving. While the AT3 replaces the previous-generation Grabber AT, General Tires’ flagship mud-terrain tyre, the new Grabber X3 delivers uncompromising off-road performance as well as good on-road manners. The new all-terrain Grabber AT3 and extreme terrain X3 build onto General Tires’ existing range of proven performance tyres. The action-packed day involved driving the new Fiat Fullback (fitted with the AT3 Grabbers) and the current Jeep Wrangler (fitted with the X3 Grabbers) both on and off-road. We joined General Tire, a brand of Continental Tyre SA, at Kilpbokkop to experience the all-new Grabber AT3 and X3 tyres. Without appropriate tyres, even the most advanced vehicle can lose its credit and make for an underwhelming experience. Tyres are an important component of any vehicle, and, as the only part of your vehicle with direct contact to the road and other surfaces, they play a big role in your driving safety, comfort, efficiency and capability. Last week, we turned our focus onto an integral component of any car – tyres. Most of the launches we attend usually involve test driving and reviewing new cars.
