LT265/70R17 General Grabber Arctic LT – 3PMS Studdable Winter
Category: Truck/SUV Winter – Studdable
The General Grabber Arctic LT is a light truck studdable tire with exceptional low temperature traction. Ice, snow and wet conditions are met by an extreme ability to corner and brake while the Grabber Arctic LT's raised ridges in the grooves provide additional grip. This tire meets the severe service requirements of both RMA and TRAC.
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. Can be studded where local regulations allow.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 121 means each tire can carry up to 1450 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating R is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 170 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
- Studdable means the tire has pre-formed stud holes and can accept metal studs where permitted. Ontario bans studs on most public roads. Quebec allows them seasonally — typically October 15 to May 1. Check current provincial rules before installation.
- 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
