How noisy are General Grabber AT2?
I was going to buy General Grabber AT2 from tirerack. When I added them to my cart this came up:
The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable.
To select a different tire, REMOVE the tire from your cart and search for a tire with a load rating that matches your vehicle's O.E. rating. To purchase the tire you have already selected, KEEP IN CART / CONTINUE.
Are these tires really noisy and harsh?

No, that is more of a general disclaimer that they would probably put on any open tread type AT tire cause there are people out there that think all tires should sound like their original factory tires that have little or no traction to work with.
I believe you will be very happy with these tires, just make sure to rotate and balance them every 7500 miles or so to keep them wearing evenly.

I had a full size 1996 Bronco XLT with the 351 that I bought new (it was the service manager's demo at a local Ford Dealer). The job I had at that time had me traveling from Pittsburgh to a variety of locations primarily in Ohio. I was averaging approximately 1000 miles a week round trip.
I put General Grabbers on it, what a mistake. You could visibly detect the wear each week. They did not hold up well doing 80mph on the interstate. Never got a chance to try them off-road. They were worn out in no time. I ended up switching to Michelins and they outlasted everything else i had tried.
I enjoyed the power and size of the Bronco, but I did not like the pushbutton automatic locking hubs. Primarily for the fact that once you locked them, you had to stop and change directions to unlock them. That was a PITA for winter driving, other than that it was great, but it rusted badly. I finally got tired of it and traded it for a MB420SEL.
Now I have my Discovery. I really like it. I was looking for the TKO's from Goodyear or Goodrich (I forget now) but could not find them locally in the 235/75's so I ended up at Sears on Veteran's Day where I bought the Bridgestone Dueler ATP's on sale. They have done very well. Good grip, not noisy at all.
I hear a lot of trucks going by my house every day, on some of them, all you can hear is the tire hum. Sounds like a thousand angry bumblebees.
