So... slapped these General Grabber HDs on 18 Ford Transit 

The ride, smooth as butter; handling? Tight, responsive / no matter where I’m driving. Highways, city streets, rain, snow, mud... doesnt matter. Over 60000 miles now, and they Are still lookin' pretty darn good. Sure, a little stiff at first, but you know what? Thats a small price for traction that sticks like glue. 

I’d say, if you need a tire that wont let you down, grab these. They’ve made me a believer!

What is bad?
After about 5k miles, they started to develop a shake that I couldnt get rid of, even after multiple rebalancing attempts. And to make matters worse, they wore out way faster than I expected had to replace them after just 30000 miles. Not what I was hoping for at all.
