One of the newest and highest-rated SUV tires on the market today is the Grabber HTS. These SUV tires combine excellent wear, good handling on dry roadway, snow and wet conditions and low rolling resistance for enhanced fuel economy at a budget price. You could purchase a more expensive tire for your SUV vehicle, but you'll have a hard time beating the Grabber HTS's knock for the buck. These tires retail for $122 as of January 2010.

The Grabber HTS is General Tire’s Highway All-Season light truck tire developed for the drivers of crossover and sport utility vehicles, as well as pickup trucks and full-size vans. The Grabber HTS was designed to combine style, comfort, durability and performance in a tire that offers pleasant road manners and a long life, as well as year-round traction, including in light snow.

The Grabber HTS features General Tire’s Eco-Ride tread compound to improve fuel economy molded into a specially engineered symmetric tread design featuring an enlarged contact patch and General Tire’s Stabilink system of connecting bars that increase circumferential stability to enhance braking, acceleration and cornering. Response Grooves in these SUV tires provide directional guidance for improved steering and Hydro Channels eject water from between the tread and road to increase hydroplaning resistance while three types of sipes promote traction in dry, wet and wintry weather. The SUV tire’s internal structure includes twin, ultra-high tensile steel belts to provide brute strength while an internal cushioning system isolates the vehicle from road vibrations for a smoother ride.

Low-rolling resistance SUV tires are tires which are designed to minimize the energy wasted as heat as the tire rolls down the road. This improves the fuel efficiency of a SUV vehicle or reduces the effort required in the case of human-powered ones.
