Dunlop Grandtrek AT22

Unfortunately the worst tire I’ve had on a car in the wet/damp road. They are so slick it’s dangerous. Can’t get out of an intersection before the lights change especially if there’s an incline. I was complaining to ford that their electronics are crap but it’s just been these tires from the very fist drive in wet conditions in a brand new car. … Read more

Like slick tires on a wet circuit. Lucky I know how to drive. Most embarrassing when a nanna smokes you at the lights in their lil breadbox on wheels and these go nowhere. ‍wife refuses to drive the car til I change them. Not sure if it’s a bad batch but seems others share my plight. I’m a Dunlop fan of slick tires on my bikes but this is super disappointing

Good Choice for Full Time 4x4 Vehicles Doing Mainly Highway – First off, you need to understand that there are two versions of the AT22. For the size I use (275/65R17), one has an "H" speed rating and is made in Thailand, while the other has a "T" speed rating and is made in Japan. As an LC100 owner, I went with the Japanese option which is the factory fitment tyre for this vehicle. My vehicle is 99%… Read more

bitumen based and for this purpose, the AT22 handles superbly in wet or dry. They are very quiet and predictable, even at higher highway speeds. Towing and light offroading on sand is also no problem for these tyres. I just replaced a set which lasted 90,000km with another set of the same.

However, if you drive a Ranger/BT50/DMAX/Hilux or any other Thai built part time 4x4 vehicle, you are likely getting the Thai manufactured tyre which may not be identical to the one I am reviewing. Considering how these utes are set up - little weight on the rear and short 1st gear, I can imagine it is easy to get wheelspin with any kind of touring tyre in the wet. I would suggest trying BFG KO2 (for offroaders) or Michelin Primacy SUV (for highway users) if you need a bit more grip while in RWD only mode.

Ok tyre. Not the best you can get though – I also have them on a Ford ranger XLT. They are fine and are now at 85,000km. They do wear nice and even and they are quiet. Have been offroad with them (Sand, mud and snow) and they performed very well for what they are. As for the issues in the wet I do agree they can be a handful on hill starts and roundabouts when its raining but you just… Read more

drive to conditions. I have had to swerve at high speeds as well as emergency brake and they performed well on both occasions so I consider them to be a safe tyre. Really can't complain about them other than being annoying in the wet, if you're not paying attention. I was caught off guard twice with wet roads but fortunately no accident.

UPDATE: These tyres made it to 98,000km before being replaced. They did wear evenly with regular rotating. The wet weather issues were always a concern and as such I chose a different tyre to replace them with. They were a good enough tyre but there was safety issues in the wet if you dont know how to drive.

great allrounder tyres – A perfect tyre for my Landcruiser 100 .. Excellent milage and quiet tyres . Have done Simpson Desert and Birdsville Track ..... Tyre handling usually relates to pressure and over inflation should not be ignored ! had four sets and averaged 70 to 80 thousand per set ! very happy with Dunlop ! Show details

Happy with these tyres – We have had two full sets of these Grandtrek AT22 tyres on our Mazda BT50, often carrying a weighty slide on camper. We've done long trips including WA, Kimberley, Gibb River Road, Gulf of Carpentaria, Cooktown, inland NSW, Birdsville Track and outback Queensland. We drive to conditions and have never had even one puncture or tyre damage, or… Read more

road slippage. I think many of the reviews here, claiming dangerous road slippage with these tyres, must be fake.

Been good to me! – I drive a 2018 Triton and these tyres have been great for me. I do a 130km round trip to work on a freeway and suburbs to the city in pouring rain, wind, heat and have not had a problem with the tyres. I tow a van occasionally, have driven in sand at Little dessert national park. Overall I think their an excellent tyre and will buy again. Show details

Dangerous in the wet – These tyres ok in the dry but are dangerous in the wet on a 2019 Ford Ranger. Our car slides dangerously at roundabouts and bends as soon as any rain falls.

Dunlop, the name behind value & safety – Many tell me that these tyres, being cheaper than many other big brands, are not so great. But they have not driven on them for years and years as I have. To be blunt - they are awesome value and feel great on the road. I'm happy. Show details

Great all round Tyre – Have. Ford Ranger 2018 been around Australia towing 2.5 ton caravan on all types of roads tracks ect done 58,000 and still going never had any sliding in the wet my next set of Tyres will be the same as i have now Show details

Stay right away from these – Yes agree with the other reviews these came as standard with my ford ranger. They are lethal in the wet, and slide when you tow a van or car trailer only good for use as a fender on a fishing trawler Show details

Dangerous in Wet 50% Worn – These three came as factory fitted with Ranger. Ok for first 20,000km (50%) however went off bigtime. Been putting off replacement but now with 30,000km just plain dangerous and only 3/4 worn. Show details

don't believe some of these posts – have these on my FJ Cruiser from new 2 years 40,000 kms only half worn ,:) tow a 2 ton caravan at least half those km,s use a roundabout almost every day and never had the slightest issue in the dry or wet and use the roundabout at approx. same speed , I don't believe these other bullpucky reviews stating unsafe in the wet , Ive never had slightest problem with these tyres 265/70/17 A22 . Regards Peter Show details

100000+kms – Got these fitted with a new 2015 Mazda BT50 XTR 4x4 and have gotten over 100,000kms. They are still serviceable, however they get a little m slippery in the wet. Show details ·  1

These are far better than people make out – I have them fitted to a 2009 200 series GXL Landcruiser I have had nearly 120'000 klms from them , changing them for the same tyre now . I have never had a problem with slippage on wet roads ( maybe you other drivers need to adjust your accelerator control and drive to the conditions presented ). There is a little road noise now mainly because… Read more ·  1

of how low the tread is . Regular tyre rotation and baalncing checks kept these tyres alive for so long .

Poor Wet grip – My new Mazda BT 50 came fitted with these and I have only done 1600 KLM on them including some dirt roads but mainly local and highway driving. On the highway and the limited dirt roads, the tires performed well. The first bit of rain yesterday and suddenly I was sliding all over the place. Spun the wheels off the line at the lights and then on… Read more

a straight bit of road, the car suddenly slid sideways. Now roundabouts are like driving a dodgem car. I may have to look for better tyres as soon as the drought breaks.

In my Pajero, Great in Wet and Dry but sidewall not tested yet – AT22s came with my Pajero - Perhaps well suited to Pajero - Handles perfectly in 2wd in the wet (didnt have the same experience as others). Went from these to Hankok Dynapros and all of a sudden have lost traction when offroading. On AT22s, previously drove straight from paved roads and up mountain on 45 degree dirt, rock and grass tracks.… Read more ·  1

With Hankoks, I now I have to change pressure right down. Highly inconvenient - I think the Hankoks are too hard a tyre, and just dig up the mud and slide (ruined my acreage lawn!). Places the AT22s took me on 2WD, I now need , 4WD and Difflock, and Im sliding everywhere!!

4 Stars as I havent truly tested the side wall enough

Disappointing tyre do not buy – I purchased a brand new Mazda BT50 which came fitted with the Dunlop AT22 tyres. These Dunlop AT22 Grandtrek on the wet road skid sideways when moving off from traffic lights also manuvering round abouts in the wet very very dangerous. These tyres should not be used, I will be replacing them.  Show details

Absolutely Dangerous in the Wet – These tyres are extremely dangerous in the wet and marginal in the dry. Like other respondents, I don't think I should leave these tyres on my vehicle any longer. As such, further comment regarding effect on performance and durability is superfluous. The Dunlop AT22 should be removed from the market. A word for those expounding the virtues of… Read more

these tyres:

 you are mistaken (or are making untruthful comment because of a commercial interest in this product)

 you put yourself and passengers in extreme danger whenever you drive in the wet

 you put other road users at risk

Quiet, but hopeless in the wet and easily punctured – The Dunlops came standard on my 2018 Ranger XLT. They've only done 15,000 kms, but I'm about to change them for either Goodyear Duratracs or BF Goodrich ATs - depending on availability. The Grandtreks are not all-terrain tyres. Not by any means. They puncture easily, and they are seriously frightening on wet roads and loose gravel. Forget about going anywhere near mud!  Show details

Longetivity of tyres – Probably the best AT tyre I have ever owned. I have got a whopping 86,000km from the original set on a FJ Cruiser. No issues reported dry or wet. I am staying with the same brand good value for money, quiet ride I am impressed and of to Costco to replace with the same.  Show details ·  1

One of the worst tyres I have had on my New Pajero – These tyres are pretty awful in the wet and I have had a few unprovoked slides which I caught before the car tried to turn itself into a disaster. On one trip the tyres lost grip on a small wet slope and we ended up sliding back a bit which was a bit interesting.On dry roads they seem ok and quiet but they will be replaced before the wet season arrives.  Show details

Dangerous in the Wet! – These tyres came standard on my new 2017 Pajero and have delivered numerous scary experiences. In 40 years of driving I've never driven on a worse tyre in the wet. They have next to no grip around tight corners like roundabouts and T merging lanes and are just plain dangerous in my view. I'm glad that we are in drought this year and have not had a normal wet winter as i hope to get these things replaced before the next one comes.  Show details

Good kms – Got these standard on my 2015 XLT Ranger, handle well on any dry surface and very quiet on the road and still have 40% tread left at 60k. They handle off road really well but scary as hell to say the least in the wet as they have massive traction issues with torquey cars on wet roads.  Show details

Just perform without fault – Have had the AT 22 on my 200 cruiser since new. I’ve now traveled over 200,000km and out to purchase some more. No failures, no wet road issues and averaging 70,000km per set. Off road performance is far better than I expected and the on road grip and response excellent. I have tried other AT tyres on other vehicles but when the 200 needs a new set the AT 22 goes back on.  Show details ·  1

Weak sidewalls – Got these on a Ford Everest. Travelled 48000km so far. Got about 30% tread left. As a road tyre I think they’re good. Haven’t had any problems in the wet as others claim. Pretty quiet on the highway. As an off-road tyre I don’t think they’re up to task. We got a sidewall cut on our first outing. I didn’t realise the tyre was damaged until we… Read more

were on our way home traveling 110km/h along the freeway & the tyre blew out & got shredded. Scary stuff.

I will not be getting these tyres again.
