    From my reading, he's agreeing with etlsport's comments and not saying the Grabber in general.
    I've already tried that.

    It seems you are simply taking my statements personally as calling into question your choice of tire when that isn't the case. If you're happy with your choice and have had good luck with the Grabbers, great, but that doesn't mean what I've said about off-road/large-lugged tires is incorrect.
    But thank you just the same. Maybe second time will be the charm?

    And while not exactly the same, it also just occurred to me that years ago I DID run a set of General All-Terrains on a 4X4 I used to own.

    Something I know for a fact is that the General All-Terrains I had on that 4X4 did not balance as well on those lug-centric wheels as the 18" General Sport Contact low-profile performance tires I currently have on the 18" hub-centric wheels on my car.

    How's that for personal experience? Not to mention having a brother-in-law who works for General Tire and can get some pretty good discounts on tires.

    So it would seem there should now be no issue at all.
