The SUV and 4x4 winter specialist. The General Tire 4x4 winter tire generation with silica technology.
For Crossovers, SUVs and Pickup Trucks. The Snow Grabber offers safety in all winter conditions. Born in the USA, General Tire offers products for all types of vehicles, for all seasons and all terrains. High cornering stability and traction, best dry and snow handling performance.Fits perfectly for example to, VW Touareg, BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport.
High cornering stability and traction, best dry and snow handling performance
Enhanced steering response, optimised snow traction and best braking performance on all surfaces
Outstanding snow traction and snow handling performance
Optimised traction and braking performance on slippery surface
High cornering stability and traction, best dry and snow handling performance. On the non-studdable version of the Snow Grabber, large twin-blocks and numerous block edges ensure good cornering stability and excellent traction. This optimises handling in both dry conditions and on snow.
Enhanced steering response, optimised snow traction and best braking performance on all surfaces. Lots of single block elements, combined with a high proportion of positive tread and three highly-textured rows of blocks around the circumference of the tyre, improve the steering response, optimise traction on snow and ensure optimum braking performance on all roads.
Outstanding snow traction and snow handling performance. Snow pockets improve traction and handling on snow.
Optimised traction and braking performance on slippery surface. The high density of sipes of different types optimises traction and braking performance on smooth roads.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
