Could anyone please give me some feed back (good or bad) on these tyres. The salesman couldn't speak more highly about them. Most of my driving will be on road.

We purchased these tyres last October for a toyota troopcarrier (31x10.5x15). Travelled about 30000km in 6 months (Sydney to Flinders, Sydney to Southern WA) on everything from freeway to sand to very rough 4WD track. We found them to be reliable and comfortable. Also, they aren't very noisy. We would not hesitate to use them again.

When we bought them (Beaurepaires Western Sydney), we found that the dealer was quite happy to negotiate prices if you had a couple of firm quotes for same or similar tyres from other suppliers. We paid $205 each.

Enjoy...

I am using Dunlop Grandtrek on my Toyota Landcruiser. Have done so for the past 10 years. Getting around 80-90,000 Km with a mixture of 50-50 bitumn and off road. No complaints about performance
My only problem is price, I paid around $340 each for 265/75 R15.
Due for new tyres soon and will be looking for something cheaper

Used them for 7years - high country, desert, beaches, outback roads - not had a puncture or failure - get 100,000+kms from them on Prados. Started using them as they were the original tyres and have been very happy with them.

Be CAREFULL with AT2. Those tyres don't handle heat very well. If you live or travel in the North you better choose another tyre. AT2 and AT1 like to fall to pieces once the tread goes down to 50%.

I couldn't agree more Goran. I fitted a set of AT2's on my Troopy last year up here in Darwin and they started to come apart at around the 35,000 km mark - they could not handle the heat.

I found them to be good on wet bitumen and average for some off-road work, but would not use them again here in the tropics.

Took them (10r15 at2) to Innamincka and back no chipping or punctures, mate with his BFG a/t were chopped up bad. Recommended as a cheaper alternative (as they do have a bad name due to the first ones made)
