Dunlop Grandtrek PT3

Good highway performance in dry weather. Low noise – Dunlop Grandtrek PT3 tyres - purchased 4 new tyres 265/65/R17 112H in May 2023 for a 2004 Toyota Prado. This review is made after an initial 1282kms of travel towing a small 1-tonne caravan. Dry weather. Highway roads. INTRODUCTION: Dunlop Grandtrek tyres are available in "at" models such as at20, at22, etc, where the 'at' prefix refers to "all… Read more

terrain". These "at" tyres are suitable for use on unsealed and off road situations. The PT3 model, however, is designed to be used 90% of the time on SEALED roads, and a max of 10% on unsealed roads. The "PT" in the model name probably means "paved terrain". TYRE NOISE: this seems to be a function of what the surface of the road is actually made of. Concrete road surfaces on the Hume Highway around Goulburn NSW are very quiet. So too are other road surfaces that have a high bitumen (tar) content, such as newer freeway roads, or recently repaired sections of a road. It's the older road surfaces that have a higher blue metal content that give a bit more noise, but even this is not really intrusive into the car. Overall I was quite impressed with how quiet the tyres were. HANDLING, BRAKING PERFORMANCE: As stated above, the trip being reviewed here involved towing a caravan, so there were no situations where extreme handling and braking needed to be used. All I can say is that for careful driving to the posted speed limits, the tyres performed without any issues arising. WET WEATHER PERFORMANCE: This trip occurred in dry weather only, so I cannot comment on the tyre performance in the wet. I have rated the tyres as 5 stars based purely on the trip undertaken above. A future review on handling, braking, and wet weather performance may result in a lower rating.

Highly recommended Dunlop Tyre – I chose the Grandtrek PT3 tyres as Dunlop are a quality brand and will be a great choice for all weather conditions and performance on my SUV. Highly recommended. AAA Show details

GrandTrek PT3A 100,000 Kilometers – Purchased a set of Grandtrek PT3A 275/50R21 tyres for our Lexus 570 4WD Today have called the local dealer to hopefully puchase another set as we just clocked over 100,000 kilometers. Could not fault in the dry or wet, and had awsome low noise during highway driving. Show details

New tyres – Had my tyres fitted today, only got 47000 k out of my Goodyear efficient grips hope to get a lot more out of the pt3 ,s. Most of my trips are on country roads in South Australia , 400+ k every time hope to get at least 60000k out of the pt3,s if not I will not be happy.  Show details

Bad tires – I purchased 4 tires for my Mitsubishi Outlander 7 seater 4WD. I had a wheel alignment as well the day they were fitted. Surprisingly when I drove the car it was too heavy to move as if the tires are glued to the street. The engine will rev loud but the response is too little. I never had this experience before with this car or even the Camry which… Read more

has Dunlop SP on it. I went back to Kmart and they re did the wheel alignment but no change. I even changed the car from 2WD to 4WD and still no change. I have no idea what have happened. It all started the day I replaced the tires.

The only positive is that they are quite on the street when driving.

I sent an email to Dunlop asking for the possible reasons but no response.

Great Tyres – It is durable, still looking good after a year of purchasing them. Bought 4 tyres at Beaurepaires and couldn't be more happier. With warranty and free servicing. Good price too. It runs very good and it has a great impact in my car's performance. Beaurepaires is awesome and very convenient to us.  Show details ·  1

Dunlop Grandtrek T3 – The original set of tyres on the Outlander were Toyo tyres. The road noise was considerable with the Toyo. The replacement Dunlop tyres seem to have less road noise, definitely improved road handling, softer ride and maybe improved fuel enconomy.  Show details
