Anyone have any experience with General Tire Grabber A/T2 tires?

Had them on the Forester. They are a terrible winter tire, even thought they are pinned for studs. At about -5 or so they essentially turn into hockey pucks, very slippery, hence why I ended up on Blizzaks.
Other than that, they were good for off-road use. They will give you about a 10% hit on fuel consumption, and a significant increase in noise. I never had any flats, and got about 50,000 kms from the set. I would not recommended them if you do not need the off-road ability they have, there must be better choices than these for pavement use.
They handled this kind of road conditions really well:
And they don't mind getting dirty
