General Tire/Continental

While Continental’s General Tire brand may be best known for its off-road and all-terrain products, General Tire offers a wide range of road tyres.

Replacing the Grabber GT, the Grabber GT Plus offers “a marked improvement in performance in all areas including economy and safety”, according to its manufacturer. Specifically, this means a 12 per cent reduction in rolling resistance and a five per cent improvement in mileage along with “enhanced wet-weather performance”.
