Im thinking about getting a set of those when my truck arrives. It has goodyear wrangler SR-A's on it now. I want a tire that I wont get stuck driving lightly offroad and something that will help if I encounter some wet grass. Im guessing the Grabber AT2s are going to be real bad in snow?

I had a set of Grabber ATs on an old Toy I used to own and loved them. They replaced BFG ATs and the truck rode like a Caddy compared to the Goodrich rubber. They were really similar to the 2s in your pic (they were an older style tire and tread pattern) and I don't have a bad thing to say about them at all. I think you'd love them if you got a set.

I agree with Frenchy. The look rugged enough to handle snow to me.

Those are known as a pretty solid snow tire. The SR-A's are at the bottom of the barrel by today's tire standards.

There were quite a few threads on them a year or so back, everyone that had them seemed to love them. I'm personally running All Country Radial LXT's and I love them, paid $80 to get them on the truck almost brand new too (swapped them off another truck we were getting rid of). Honestly anything you get will be a giant improvement. The SR-A's are utter garbage and by far the worst tire I have ever driven.

I ditched my SR-A's at 26,000. They're sitting in my dad's barn with more than half their tread left, as emergency spares. I don't really even feel like offloading them on some poor fool...

Honestly, I don't know how the hell Goodyear (or Firestone too for that matter) stay in business. They make terrible tires. There is hardly a soul that you talk to with anything good to say about either of them.
Personally I've been putting only Mickey Thompson / Dick Cepeks on my trucks over the past dozen years or so, and I've yet to have a problem of any kind.

The Grabber AT2s have not been on the market a real long time, but any reviews I have read on them have been pretty good...

They stay in business by selling millions of OEM tires to manufacturers, no doubt for prices that the manufacturers can't refuse.

There are a few high end Goodyears that are well reviewed on TireRack.
