General Grabber ATX vs BF Goodrich KO2

More: https://comparethetire.com/general-grabber-atx-vs-ko2/ In comparison, the General Grabber ATx, provides a very minimalistic shoulder design with smaller notches and skinnier grooves so this tire gets packed more easily. Both tires feature 3 rib design in the middle wrapped with each other, and where at least KO2 offers wider shoulder gaps to pass that mud out, the General grabber gets stuck with it. And this is a little odd, as this tire is marketed to have taken shoulders of General Grabber X3, which is the mud variant of the Grabber family. Following the same trend, the Grabber ATX also lacks on rocky terrains, its less aggressive sidewall lugs don’t offer as much traction when the tire is pressured down, and its simplistic shoulders are not capable of providing good enough lateral aid, so the tire is more prone to slip on sides. Durability is also one of the key factors on rocks, and here the BF Goodrich KO2 provides you with one of the toughest tires that you can get. It features 3 ply polyester sidewalls reinforced with 2 more layers of nylon, where the Grabber ATx only comes with just 2. So, with superior durability, you move on rougher tracks with better confidence, and with bulkier sidewall lugs and stronger rim locks, KO2 grabs more efficiently even when aired down to an extremely lowerd PSI value. Nonetheless, the General Grabber makes up for all of this, with its significantly better winter performance, despite both of them branded with 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. With less stiff internal construction and a softer tread on top, comparatively, the Grabber ATX provides you with a more resistant thermal adaptive polymer, which stays soft even with extreme freezing temperatures. So, with that it’s sipes and small biting notches get to have more flexibility to grab and trap the snow particles in its grooves. This is significant because on this terrain, snow to snow contact provides better friction, as snowflakes have an interlocking design which sticks better with each other. Furthermore, although both tires are not so great on icy roads, at least the General Grabber ATx gives you stud-able lugs which improves its capability. The BF Goodrich KO2 is although good enough on snow, it lacks slightly due to its stiffer sidewalls with a greater number of layers in its internal construction. With these layers, the tire also weighs more in comparison, and with larger weight the on-road performance is also naturally compromised. The General Grabber ATX with its closed-up tread blocks improves on road grip and by weighing less it also does great in terms of wear. In fact, it’s one of the most long last all terrain tire that you can great, depending on tire size, of course. However, in wet conditions, this tire is not able to perform satisfactorily, where it lacks a lot in lateral traction, which limits It’s handling abilities, though it’s still better compared to KO2. This is because KO2 again suffers by not giving its tread, the needed flexibility. So, the siping on its tread, although are full depth, are not able stretch enough to clear water off as efficiently. None the less in case of hydroplaning the tire has no issues, and this also goes for Grabber ATX as well. Lastly if we talk tire sizes. The BF Goodrich KO2 comes in total of 90 sizes ranging from 15 to 22 inches, while the Grabber ATX comes in 40 sizes going from 14 to 20 inches, where only 1 size is available in 14.
