Take a look at these tires and compare them especially the "lugs" on the shoulders of the tires. Notice how most mud tires have large lugs separated by large gaps that run through the shoulder of the tires. That's the area of the tire that makes and allows the noise to escape out the sides. Now look at the Grabber and you can see what I think is a significant difference. The tire simply looks like it's quieter than the others.

The mud tires look like mud tires with big blocky lugs and big open spaces in between (for good self-cleaning). The Grabbers don't (to me) look like mud tires but it sounds like they do well in the mud. As good as the others? That remains to be seen.

I haven't seen these tires in person but they look good in the pictures and they sound like they'd be a very good tire for Raptor owners.

This was a tire review with no testing or comparison. I wonder how they'll compare. Hopefully we'll find out.

This is how they look on a raptor;

One of the best views of these tires is going to be from in front of the Raptor or directly behind because of the greater tire width.

Here are a couple pictures of Brian's Nitto tires - they're 12.5" wide just like the Grabbers ("Grabbahs")

So, has anyone bought a set of the Grabbers and put them on their Raptor? Frogslinger, I assume those pics are from an online source?
