General Tire X3
- Thread starter Crispy
- Start date
Looks interesting and somewhat similar to the Cooper STT Pro where they try to keep road noise down to a minimum while also giving you an excellent off-road tire. I will likely stick with the STT Pro's as being my next tire but look forward to future reviews on this one. A rep at Discount also mentioned the new Nitto Ridge Grappler as another similar tire. http://www.nittotire.com/light-truck-tires/ridge-grappler-light-truck-tire/
There are a few companies offering those "hybrid terrain" tires. Aggressive for an A/T but not quite an M/T.
Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX
Nitto Ridge Grappler
Toyo Open Country R/T
All come to mind when looking at this new offering. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I love my General Grabber AT2's...
But these have a super sexy tread pattern....

Resurrect. Has anybody been running the X3s with some amount of pavement, dirt and wheeling miles on them? Looking at getting them maybe as my next tire...
I put a set on last Wednesday. They are quiet, and handle great. I was out on ice covered roads on Saturday, and they did very well. I have 34x10.50x17 BFG KO2 for winter tires, and KM2 as summer tires. The KM2 are for sale, and I think I may sell the KO2 also.
For driving on them for less than a week, I’m not one bit disappointed.

Good to hear. I really haven’t heard anything bad. They may just be flying under the radar for now.
The X3 is still a pretty new tire. I have only seen one place that stocks them. I had to order mine. If you haven’t ordered yet, I joined Tread Lightly and got $100 off from General tire, and $50 off from Discount Tire with a $50 membership. Discount is a General dealer, but will probably have to order them in.
My first experience with the X3 was when @timberwolf_120 joined in a ride with us last memorial weekend. He should have some miles on by now...

I'm a big General Grabber AT 2 fan. Have them on my truck as well as my overland trailer. I used to run the Copper Discovery's but couldn't stand the noise & the ride.

I love my X3's. I have had them on for almost a year, and have put just under 10k miles on those tires on my Jeep JKU.
I'm running 35's on a daily driver, and when I hit the trail air down to 15psi. The rock rings on my rims have some major gouges but the sidewall shows no serious wear. There are a few places where tread has been chewed up, due to me going through rock gardens etc.
I'm so impressed the next change on my wife's TJ I want to put on X3's as well.

I recently switched to the General Grabber AT2’s from Mickey Thompson MTZ’s and I really like the AT2’s!

Just a quick update about the X3.
Drive them for a while now, unexpected good on pavement even in heavy rain. The only thing I could not test was deep mud everything else was beyond my expectations.

Maybe I do a little review when I put more Kilometers on them.

Ok, I’ve got a few miles on my X3’s now. They have done a great job every single place I have taken them, mud, sand, (not deep), and snow. Not the best ice tire, but what mud terrain is? I was surprised how well they did on ice though, compared to my old KM2 BFG.
The X3 is a quiet, good handling road tire also. They wear good, and balanced better than I could have hoped.
I recommend them.

Bringing this up from the dead, pulled the trigger on a set of X3s for the troopy. E rated. While there was some life left in my old km2's its stopping ability in the wet and snow/slush has degraded significantly. Read some good things about these, so will give it a shot (33x10.50)

Same here, got my first season done and still happy. In early December I had the chance to test them intense mud and they performed great!
