I got the grabbers last year for our 87 camper Can only say good things about them

On the highway they are really good not too stiff a ride and good control and not too noisy Even seemed better in crosswinds along the coast and when on top the mountain

On the dirt fire roads here in rural mountains Santa Barbara they are great Often the ruts are over a foot deep the going difficult and in first gear The grabbers really did grab even when only part of the face and the part where the sidewall meets the face were in contact with the earth they held the van in place

A local dealer charged the Tire rack price and $20 per tire for mounting balancing and recycling old tires
