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 ST20

The Dunlop Grandtrek ST20 is generally regarded as a reliable and durable original equipment tire, particularly favored by owners of compact and mid-size SUVs. While users consistently praise its longevity and predictable handling in mixed weather conditions, some report concerns regarding sidewall cracking over time and a noticeable decline in wet-weather performance as the tread depth approaches the legal limit.

Pros

  • Impressive tread life and overall durability
  • Consistent and predictable handling in mixed weather conditions
  • Strong performance for light off-road and towing applications
  • Good value proposition as an original equipment replacement

Cons

  • Noticeable reduction in wet grip at lower tread depths (below 3mm)
  • Tendency for sidewalls to develop cracks or crazing over time
  • Increased road noise on rough or concrete surfaces
  • Uneven shoulder wear reported by some users

Observations

  • Owners of shorter-wheelbase vehicles like the Daihatsu Terios noted potential bounciness, though it was unclear if this was tire-specific or vehicle-geometry related.
  • The tire is frequently cited as a preferred original equipment choice for Nissan SUVs, with users often opting to repurchase the same model after the initial set wears out.

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.
