Wet grip and off-road traction are the clearest concerns among owners of the Dunlop Grandtrek AT20, each criticised in roughly one in three reviews. Several describe limited confidence when cornering or braking on wet roads, although a smaller group is satisfied with everyday use. Longer-term accounts more often praise tread life than criticise it, particularly with predominantly road driving, but wear varies. Quiet running and comfort receive some positive comments without broad agreement on overall performance. The one returning reviewer remained dissatisfied, which is not enough to establish a general ageing pattern.

The tyres came as OE on my Shogun SG3 LWB 4 years ago and were dangerous and confidence sapping in the wet and didn’t really improve with use. The grip and feedback in the dry were average but I persisted and learned their limits on the road and routinely used 4WD in the wet on tarmac. In mud and snow the tread pattern was very little help being little different to an ordinary road tyre. A month ago and after 30k miles I finally gave up on them and changed them for Avon AX7s which were a revelation. The AT20s had 50% wear left on the front pair and about 30% left on the rear pair and I estimate that I could easily have got another 10k miles out of them. The wear rate was remarkable but their lack of grip in the wet and in mud/snow left me at a loss as to why Mitsubishi thought that this was a suitable OE tyre for the Shogun.
No experience in snow or ice.
70000kms and are due for replacement. I consider this very good. Worn very evenly.. only rotated twice.
On my Toyota Prado 150 have been very serviceable tyre . 98% drfiving on black top. Handled dirt roads without issue.

Came as standard on my L200, 99% of my driving is done on tarmac, car is two years old, so I’ve done 60,000 miles and just about to change them as tread on the limit. To get 60,000 miles out of a set of tires is impressive, I’ll be glad they are going though, as mentioned by other people these tyres are dangerous on wet roads, I’ve got to the point where I literally slow to a crawl at corners if it’s wet as I’ve come close to losing control of the vehicle a few times due to the lack of grip and the car sliding all over the road I’ve had this issue with the tyres since the car was delivered and the tyres were new. Replacing with Goodyear Wranglers which I hope are grippier on wet roads.

2008 120Prado gxl came fitted with these tyres. I've not had a problem with them despite towing a van on Birdsville track, Kimberley tracks, Pilbara tracks, Hammersley ranges, Oodnadatta Track, Flinders ranges etc. No punctures, no chipping, no de-lamination, no blow outs in any of the three sets I've used over the years,
Wet handling is good - we have lots of roundabouts on the Sunshine Coast, and yes it does rain heavily here. Comfort and low noise level is good, and wear is excellent, as is road feed back.
I normally run the tyres at the pressures recommended by Toyota except for lower pressures off-road.
I see many people hate these tyres, and I can only assume they run them at too high pressures, particularly in the wet.
I've never had an uncomfortable moment with these tyres and will continue to use them as they work fine for me. No, I don't work for Dunlop or Toyota.
Original tyres that came on my 2020 GLS Premium Triton. Have done 60,000km, which is excellent for me as they get a work out and I'm usually lucky to get 45,000km out of other tyres I've had in the past.
These tires came with my new 2021 Ford Ranger. The tires now have 27k km on them and make you drive the car without confidence that it will stop. When cornering the car will slide sideways on the dry. On the wet it is just silly that they sold the car with these on it.
On the upside they are quite and wear resistant. Off rd they perform better than on rd but still you can feel the car slipping when you need traction, even when you are loaded with 200+ km in the tray. Would not recommend them.
Orig equip on my 2020 Triton 4x4 dual cab. 40,000 km in 12 mths on highway, gravel, slippery muddy farm tracks, outback rocky tracks and sandhills. I am not a driver that goes to the limit. 110 kmh on highway, 100 on backroad asphalt and drive to conditions elsewhere. So unintentionally i have given them a proper workout. They surprised me as i reckon I'll get to 60,000 km easy. I will go for a 265 70 R18 and maybe a AT 22 OR 25.
Car became very 'twitchy' at highway speed in wet conditions. OK in other conditions. i need something better and will spend the money even though these have tens of thousands of klms left on them.
Came fitted on my Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. The worst and most dangerous tires I have ever driven. Slippery on dry and deadly on wet. If you corner on a wet road with this tires you have to be so careful as even in slow speed the car will slide and you have to perform corrections to avoid dangerous situations. Also the breaking is too long, in dry and wet. I'm happy I got rid of them finally. Would never recommend to anyone buying this tires.
