Off-Road Traction Comparison Mud TerrainĪT2 is way better than APT in the mud terrains.

#Grabber apt plus

The hydroplaning resistance of this tire is very good due to wide and interconnected grooves plus several sipes, they all work together to wipe the water away and make sure that the tread is in contact with the surface.

#Grabber apt Patch

Due to less contact patch from shoulders, its handling is lower but the presence of sipes somehow improve the handling ability and as a result this tire provides satisfactory performance on wet tracks. This is because it has numerous sipes which help to wipe the water away. As narrower grooves allow lower volume of water to pass from them and the chances of aquaplaning increases if the speed is high.Īlthough AT2 can’t win in terms of wet traction but still it provides much better grip and handling on wet surfaces compared to dry roads. The hydroplaning resistance of this tire is much lower than the opponent due to lower void ratio. The sipe, cut and grooves work together to wipe the water away and provide excellent wet handling. Handling of this tire is improved due to closed shoulder design and the presence of sipe and a cut on the shoulder lugs. As due to the higher contact patch plus numerous sipes APT provides great grip on wet roads as sipes wipe away the water. The results of wet traction of both these tires are also not much different from dry traction. Its handling is also not as good as of its rival due to wide grooves between the shoulder lugs that decrease the contact patch and thus handling performance is affected. As it has a relatively open design because of higher void ratio as a result the contact patch is decreased and the grip is lower on dry tracks. This provides more stability while cornering and improves the steering response.ĪT2 also provides exceptional dry traction but can’t beat its competitor. As a result, the grip is enhanced on dry roads moreover due to closed shoulder lugs the contact area from shoulder side increases as well. The closely placed tread blocks allow higher contact patch with the road. The dry traction of APT is much better than its rival due to compact design. Stud holes are placed on the shoulders to improve performance on ice On Road Dry Traction Several sipes are placed all over the tread and shoulder lugs consist stone ejectors in between them. All the grooves in this tire are of same width.

Central part also consists of similar shaped tread blocks which are also divided by lateral grooves.

All the shoulder lugs are of similar shape and size, and have open spaces dividing them. General Grabber AT2 has a comparatively open tread design with small sized tread blocks placed all over the tire. Sipes are engraved on all the tread blocks and there are no stone ejectors present in the tread. Central tread blocks are placed closely having narrower lateral grooves that are dividing them. Central tread blocks are placed between two wide longitudinal grooves. All the shoulder lugs have a single sipe and deep cut on them. The shoulder blocks are closely placed having narrower grooves in between them. General Grabber APT has relatively closed tread design.
