Pickup trucks and SUVs become less and less like work vehicles everyday.Today, rather than hauling supplies and equipment to the jobsite, they are more likely to see duty as the primary family transport vehicle, or be customized by their owners for looks and performance. Larger, plus-sized tire and wheel packages are common, with custom wheels wrapped in performance tires that have the style and handling to complement how and where the vehicle will be driven.

Performance, style, image and appropriate size availability are all key factors driving today's growing options in the Street/Sport Truck tire category. Following the trend towards aggressive directional tread patterns, General Tire has introduced the Grabber UHP, tying the heritage of their Grabber light truck family name to Ultra High Performance. To understand how well this was accomplished, The Tire Rack team conducted a Real World Road Ride and limited Performance Track Drive, comparing the Grabber UHP with the AVON Tech ST and KUMHO ECSTA STX.?
