This video is another video with click-bait title. It's poorly made with bunch of stitching stock videos and AI voice. No real info was found.

Agreed. What's funny is that I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ on my little Mazda 3 Carbon Hatchback. That's only a 3,150lb FWD 4-cylinder, aka the classic Japanese formula for moderately sporty daily driver economy car that made the Civic / Corolla some of America's bestselling compact cars.

The tires have 29k miles on them and are already down to 4/32 tread depth (yellow), so I project they will last about another 10k, maybe 15k if I'm pushing their life span, but allegedly they were built to last 140,000 miles....bawhahahaah

So, if the General Tire Grabber's use the same rubber compound as teh DWS 06+, how are they going to last any longer and on a heavier vehicle platform that's nearly 2x the weight...

AI = Artificial Idiocy

For my daily driver 3 Carbon, I'm going to give the Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready 2's a try nextime. The DWS's have great dry traction and wet traction, snow performance is decent for an all season, but they are a bit stiff of a ride for the application I am using them (aka a sport touring daily driver).

I look at tires on an individual basis and am used to harsh riding high performance tires as I've run them for years. I've had Pirellie summer tires that came on my 2016 Mustang GT PP as OEM summer performance, people claimed they were trash, but I found them to be pretty good, so I used them up then switched over to Pilot Sport 4S on RTR Tec 7 flow forged wheels, the "gold standard" of street summer performance, yes the 4S were better, but not massively.

So far, I really like the KO3's on my RR (22k now), but my one big caveat to them is breakaway characteristics on-road and turn-in sharpness off-road. Forward and braking traction is stellar. Comfort on the highway is good the type of tire. Noise is decent also for the type of tire at the mileage.

But on road, they have a very sharp break away. You have traction until you don't and then it's just GONE, no recovery, all you can do is hold steering and let off the throttle until they find grip again. Off-road, they have a bit of a delayed turn-in, so you turn but it takes a moment for them to actually respond as you would think, so I'm eyeing the Pirellie XTM's once they need replaced, but aside from those two things, my KO3's have been good.

Then you wonder if General tire was behind the clip......

It all a joke... go to Tire Rack and watch their tests and read the reviews. The comment about ply's has no context - ply's pretty much equal load ratings. The same tire might come in an SL load rating and an E load rating. The Continental TerrainContact A/T in 265/70R17 115S is a SL load rated tire weighs 42lbs and is a 4 belt construction tire. The Continental TerrainContact A/T in 265/70R17 121/118S E is an E rated load tire and weighs 55lbs with a 6 belt construction. Put that E load rated tire on your daily driver and you might need new kidneys' after a year.

Brand new truck and I am already shopping tires. General Grappler and Falken Wildpeak are on the list.

AI narrated product promotional video pretending to be scientific. No presented facts, just baseless statements, claims "when we cut the tires apart, ______", does not show tire analysis for the viewer. Just a bunch of 3 second jump cuts and "my friends tires ____" "one owner____".

Get this crap out of here.

I realize it’s another AI nonsensical video.
There may have been 10%-20% of it with any shred of accurate info.

As others mentioned it’s mostly just another clickbait AI video getting spit out there to try and game a buck.

I agree , tire rack videos and reviews are great source's.

So much AI excrement floating around nowadays. All I know is the factory tire the goodyear wranglers are junk in my opinion. I had a flat at less than 3000 miles took it to my tire guy. When he saw the brand and type he immediately said, you need to trash those tires. We put it in the tire spreader after locating the hole and the sidewalls collapsed like a inner tube they were so thin. We had to reposition the tire in order to get a good spot hanging over the edge of the spreader to patch it. I'd never spend a dime on them myself!
