The new Grabber AT3 Plus: High performance on and off the road

Hanover, June 2026 – General Tire is expanding its all-terrain portfolio with the new Grabber AT3 Plus, an all-season tire with optimal traction for changing weather conditions and reliable off-road handling. With this, General Tire provides a dedicated tire combining on-road and off-road capability for the growing number of 4x4 vehicles as well as the steadily expanding SUV segment. 

Compared to its predecessor, the Grabber AT3 Plus offers increased traction on snow, improved grip on wet roads and a functional tread design that clearly reflects its off-road capabilities. Both the compound and tread pattern have been designed for high durability in all conditions, as well as for precise handling and reduced rolling noise.

“Our R&D department has achieved a remarkable feat in further developing the leading Grabber AT3. The Grabber AT3 Plus delivers improvements across all key performance areas – without any compromises," says Matthias Bartz, General Tire Business Development Manager EMEA. 

The new Grabber AT3 Plus is designed for year-round use on and off paved roads. All available dimensions marked with the 3PMSF snowflake symbol and therefore meet the legal requirements for winter use in many countries.

At market launch, the range covers rim diameters from 15 to 22 inches, widths between 195 and 315 millimeters, and aspect rations from 80 to 40 percent. Selected sizes are available with LT identification as well as LRD and LRE specifications and are therefore designed for higher loads in demanding applications. Depending on the dimension, speed ratings of up to 240 km/h are possible.

To balance performance between robustness, traction and comfort, General Tire relies on advanced, brand-specific 4x4 technologies:

TracGen technology ensures reliable traction on loose surfaces and precise handling on paved roads with big, open tread blocks and numerous gripping edges.

The Comfort Balance technology supports smooth rolling behavior, reduces noise and contributes to driving comfort even on longer journeys. Specially- developed rubber compounds ensure the right balance between the on- and off-road characteristics of the new Grabber AT3 Plus.

DuraGen technology focuses on off-road durability: a cut- and chip resistant tread compound, reinforced tread blocks and stone bumpers increase durability in tough off-road use.

The Grabber AT3 Plus also visually underlines its range of use. The robust sidewall design with an accentuated shoulder area, clear tread marking and technology logos gives the tire a powerful look, suitable for modern SUVs and 4x4 vehicles. Depending on the size, the new Grabber AT3 Plus achieves a “C” rating for wet braking, a “B” rating for noise emissions, and in most cases a “D” rating for rolling resistance.
