From owners

Pros, cons & observations

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

Tire A Dunlop Grandtrek M/T2

The Dunlop Grandtrek M/T2 receives a poor reception from fleet operators, primarily due to significant durability concerns and premature wear. While the tire offers acceptable on-road handling, its susceptibility to sidewall damage and structural integrity issues makes it unsuitable for demanding off-road or commercial applications.

Pros

  • Acceptable on-road driving characteristics

Cons

  • High levels of road noise on tarmac
  • Rapid tread wear compared to competitors
  • Poor sidewall durability and vulnerability to cuts
  • Structural issues including sidewall rippling

Observations

  • Commercial safari fleet operators report that the tire fails to meet durability requirements for heavy-duty off-road use.
Tire B Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus

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.
