From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Dunlop Grandtrek AT20

The Dunlop Grandtrek A/T20 is a polarizing tire that is frequently criticized for its poor wet-weather performance and limited off-road capability, despite being a common original equipment choice for various 4x4s. While a significant portion of users report exceptional tread longevity and acceptable dry-road comfort, many owners find the lack of confidence in rain and snow to be a safety concern that outweighs the tire's durability.

Pros

  • Exceptional tread life and high mileage durability
  • Quiet and comfortable ride on paved surfaces
  • Reliable performance in dry, warm weather conditions
  • Consistent availability as a factory-fitted original equipment tire

Cons

  • Dangerous handling and poor traction on wet roads
  • Inadequate performance in snow, ice, and mud
  • Susceptibility to shoulder wear and uneven tread degradation
  • Limited off-road durability and puncture resistance

Observations

  • Owners of heavy 4x4s like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi Shogun frequently report that the tire's performance does not match the vehicle's off-road capabilities.
  • Some users noted that adjusting tire pressure slightly above factory recommendations can help mitigate uneven shoulder wear, though this remains a recurring complaint across various models.
Tire B Dunlop Grandtrek ST30

The Dunlop Grandtrek ST30 receives highly polarized feedback, often serving as polarizing original equipment on popular SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. While some users praise its dry-road stability, longevity, and value, a significant portion of owners report dissatisfaction regarding wet-weather confidence, excessive road noise, and inconsistent tread wear.

Pros

  • Strong dry-pavement grip and straight-line stability
  • Competitive price point and value for money
  • High mileage potential for some drivers
  • Capable performance on light unpaved or rural roads

Cons

  • Poor wet-weather performance and susceptibility to aquaplaning
  • High levels of road noise on various surfaces
  • Inconsistent tread life, with reports of rapid wear
  • Lack of confidence in winter conditions, including snow and ice

Observations

  • Users of AWD vehicles like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 report highly variable experiences, ranging from excellent longevity to premature wear and poor wet-traction handling.
  • The tire is frequently criticized for its lack of winter capability, with many owners noting it is unsuitable for anything beyond light, dry conditions.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
