Default purchased General Grabber UHP

I went to discount tire and had planned on buying better tires than the infamous Eagle GT's. After looking over a few tires at the counter and a limmitted amount of tires to choose from that were 275/45/R20, I decided on the General Grabber UHP which costs $158.00 a tire. They had to order them and I will have them put on tomorrow. They have an agressive tread pattern and seem to perform well from what I have researched. Is any one else running these, if so how do you like them?

Thanks for the reassurance, I was thinkin orginally about getting some hankooks or toyos, the ones they had in stock looked plain and guy told me they dont carry toyo proxies st in my size . Most of the reviews I have read is that the general uhp handles well in the rain which is plus here in Florida. I think I paid a bit much for them compared to the prices of buying them online, but then there is shipping and then some places dont like to install tires there were not purchased from them. I will just have to see how the tread wear is now

Got them put on today and love the way they look. I think I will have to break them in for a few days and run the nitrous a few times before I will know for sure. They are allready a ton better than the eagle gt's I had. Takes a little more to break them lose and when they do come lose they make a whole hella lot more noise.

They were going to be the next choice for me, but I went with the hankooks 275/45/20's and I like them. I might try them next. But we all know the good years are much nicer anyways..
