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 A/T3

The Dunlop Grandtrek A/T3 is generally regarded as a capable and reliable all-terrain tire that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. Users frequently praise its significant improvement in traction over factory-fitted tires and appreciate its surprisingly quiet performance for an A/T tread pattern.

Pros

  • Excellent on-road grip and handling stability
  • Quiet operation compared to typical all-terrain competitors
  • Robust construction with reinforced sidewalls
  • Significant improvement in wet weather traction over standard tires

Cons

  • Reduced grip on specific surfaces like smooth, wet cement
  • Increased road noise as the tread wears down
  • Limited performance in extreme off-road conditions

Observations

  • Users fitting these to mid-size SUVs like the BMW X3 report success in finding a tougher, more versatile tire for occasional off-road use without sacrificing daily drivability.
  • Owners of heavier utility vehicles like the Isuzu Trooper note that the reinforced sidewalls provide good steering feedback and comfort.

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.
