Upgraded my JK last week from the stock 29" Tires to some General Grabber AT2s. I couldn't find all that much information when I was researching them, and kind of took a leap of faith buying them. For that reason, I'm writing a brief review for those that may consider them.
The Stats: I went with 33x12.50R15LT tires on (obviously) 15" MB Razors in matte black. The whole setup ran me right at $1360 from Discount Tire for all five wheels and tires. That included swapping my TPMS sensors from my stockers to the new wheels.
The Look: I'm really happy with the look of these tires. I wasn't able to find many pictures of them on JKs when I was researching, and I was a bit afraid they wouldn't look aggressive enough for my liking. I was wrong. They look plenty fierce. They're not quite as aggressive looking as the Duratracs that are so popular, but I'm certainly happy with the look. I had contemplated going with 17" wheels and 285/70R17 tires, and am glad I didn't. The small wheels make the 33" tires look a bit more beefy. I also think the extra width of the 12.50s adds something that would be missing with the 285s (which are about an inch narrower.
The Fit: My JKU is factory height and I get no rubbing anywhere. Of course, it hasn't been off the pavement yet. Full lock turns either direction don't even get the tires to rub on the air dam, which I figured was almost guaranteed. Actual height on these bad boys is right at 31.5"...a bit on the small side for a 33" tire. I do wish they measured a little closer to the stated size.
The Ride: I wasn't a fan at first. They seemed to ride rough, and I was getting blown all over the highway in even moderate wind. Then I realized that the tires were all at 35-37 psi. I adjusted them to 30 psi, and that seemed to fix the issues. They're still just a hair floaty on the highway, but that's likely just a result of the width. As far as road noise goes, what's that? These are every but as quiet as the stock Wrangler SA tires that were in there. You can't even hear the tires over the wind noise produced by driving a brick down the highway.
The Traction: This is where I'm ill equipped to testify. I've only had them a week and the weather has been nice the whole time. I live in Texas, so my chances to try them out in the snow will be few and far between. As I previously mentioned, I haven't been off road with them (or my Jeep), either. I'm basically worthless when it comes to this category.
The Wear: After a week, they still look brand new. Obviously that means absolutely nothing. I'm useless here as well.
I'll try to remember to update this thread as time goes on and these suckers have opportunities to perform in some different conditions. If there's anything specific you want to know or any specific pictures you'd like to see, just let me know.
