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 SJ6

The Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 receives a highly critical assessment from the user, who reports significant performance deficiencies in both wet and dry conditions. The reviewer expresses extreme dissatisfaction, citing poor handling and braking capabilities.

Cons

  • Poor handling characteristics in wet and dry conditions
  • Inadequate braking performance
  • Overall lack of reliability and quality

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.
