General Tire introduces the Grabber™ HTS60.

Grabber™ HTS60 replaces popular, Grabber™ HTS and features up to 25% improved tread life.
Fort Mill, SC – August 20, 2015. General Tire’s newest, all-season, highway terrain tire, the Grabber™ HTS60 is available at General Tire dealers across the U.S. The Grabber™ HTS60 replaces the Grabber™ HTS and is the perfect synergy of comfort, durability and performance for light trucks, SUVs and crossovers. General’s newest addition to the GRABBER™ line of tires offers extremely well balanced product performance with significantly improved tread life over its predecessor.
“The new Grabber™ HTS60 is an excellent all-season tire geared towards the on-road driver,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for General Tire. “Staying in line with our Grabber™ brand, this tire offers durability, performance and comfort but has improved tread life over the former HTS and we think drivers will really appreciate that.”
The Grabber™ HTS60 features a stylish symmetric pattern with a strong center rib and has been optimized for water vacuation. The Grabber™ HTS60 Metric sizes are optimized for ride quality and traction while the LT sizes are optimized for stability and grip under heavy loads. The biggest difference in the new Grabber™ HTS60 is General Tire’s newest wear improvement technology that improves tread life up to 25 percent over the original Grabber™ HTS. That means saving to the consumer over time.
Another hallmark of this tire is General Tire’s innovative DuraGen™ technology providing a robust compound with excellent cut and chip resistance that improves tread life in rugged terrain. The broad contour gives the tire a muscular stance that provides a wide footprint, promoting even wear, excellent braking and responsive handling. Additionally, General’s Comfort Balance Technology offers a cushioned tread that contains an absorption layer that isolates the vehicle from road disturbances for a more comfortable, pleasant ride.
The Grabber™ HTS60 is backed by some of the strongest warranty and service programs in the industry. This all-season tire offers up to a 65,000 limited mileage warranty. The Grabber™ HTS60 provides a full product lineup that will be enhanced with future key Original Equipment (OE) fitments. Fifty Metric sizes will be available with wheel diameters ranging from 15" – 22” and speed ratings of S, T or H. Twelve LT-Metric and Flotation sizes will be available ranging from 15” – 18” and with a speed rating of R or S.
