From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Dunlop Grandtrek Touring AS receives poor feedback from users, primarily centered on significant concerns regarding structural integrity and premature material degradation. Owners frequently report issues with sidewall durability and rubber compound failure, leading to a lack of confidence in the product's longevity and safety.
Cons
- Premature sidewall cracking and rubber delamination
- Poor structural durability leading to blowouts upon impact
- Difficult and unresponsive customer service regarding warranty claims
- Concerns regarding quality control and potential faulty manufacturing batches
Observations
- Users report that tires often fail or require replacement well before the tread depth reaches the legal minimum limit.
- Multiple reports indicate that these tires, often supplied as original equipment, fail to meet the durability expectations of vehicle owners.
The Toyo Proxes TQ is widely regarded as a high-performance drag radial that excels in straight-line traction for high-horsepower vehicles. While users praise its ability to put significant power to the pavement, the tire's specialized design necessitates caution in adverse weather conditions and compromises in lateral stability.
Pros
- Exceptional straight-line traction and launch capability for high-horsepower applications
- Competitive pricing compared to other drag radial alternatives
- Surprisingly quiet operation during normal street driving
- Predictable grip characteristics once the tire reaches operating temperature
Cons
- Dangerous handling characteristics in heavy rain or standing water
- Noticeable sidewall flex during aggressive cornering or rapid steering inputs
- Requires proper heat cycling/warming to achieve maximum performance
- Limited suitability for daily driving due to wet-weather instability
Observations
- High-horsepower platforms like the C5 Corvette, Viper GTS, and Cobra report excellent launch performance with these tires.
- Users noted that the tire's soft sidewall construction can lead to a 'rolling' sensation during quick lane changes or cornering maneuvers.

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.
