Toyota Rav4 with AT3's
I live on hard sharp gravel roads, with lots of opportunity for tyres and sidewalls to be pierced. I live 60km from any town and mostly drive alone on isolated roads, so tyre choice is important for my safety. The AT3's are the only tires that have lasted well and not failed me. They are a bit noisy on bitumen, but I'm OK with that. I feel safe with them on my wheels.
Purchased at Advance Tyres Maryborough QLD for $325.00.

Long run
The last two sets of tyres on my 80 series have been these. They survived 95,000 km and 110,000 km each.I do mainly highway work. and short distances on gravel.
I have had no problems with traction, wet or dry. They are obviously very hard wearing and I am putting on a new set, the same, next week.

Bad std tyres which came with my FJ Cruiser
These lasted about 100K. This was the only thing I was impressed with. Otherwise they are pretty bad when you don't need to travel in a straight line. Going around roundabouts in the wet was practically an out of body experience as I struggled to stop them from aquaplaning. Scary! There is absolutely no way I would buy these tires myself and Toyota should not have made them standard on any model. Off road they were better than expected given the tread pattern but this is not saying much.

Big capacity
Most of my past tyres have always worn quickly on a inner edge so a better quality rubber was sought for.After 3 years with this brand my frustrating search ended.Also after sales services of pumping & checking tyres was great as it doesn't exist at service stations anymore..Better rubber is best.

so far, so good...
- good traction on wet road(27psi).
- dry roads, no problem(35psi).
- loose sand and a half rim of mud is okey(20psi). got stuck on mud but even my firend's maxxis trepador got stuck too. hehehe
- river crossing is a challenge but i still made it(20psi).
- sidewall just cleans itself???????
- I'm not sure about the thread life though 'cuz this is my 1st set dunlop AT3's(finger's crossed)
- lesser road noise than michelin LTX A/T.
- always adjust your tire pressure in different terrain condition.

What do the new Hilux 17 in take
I have a new Hilux and the Grandtrek 2 are terrible tyres. In the wet they have the traction contraol going off all the time what ever the speed
In the dry they are not bad bot noisy. Sounds like the AT3 are no better
1 comment
This is very correct however do not think Grandtrek 3 is better as the number is higher. Coopers Seem like the best bet. Do not put Desert Duellers on as they are soft walled

Slippery in the wet
I bought a pair of AT3 for the front of my X-Trail. Driving the Kuranda and Gillies ranges immediately became a scary exercise. Wet/Damp road traction is pathetic, so the vehicle developed major under-steer characteristics on wet or damp roads, which are common on those 2 ranges. Round-abouts became an exciting challenge, keeping it on trajectory in the wet, almost impossible. They developed a weird vibration within about a week of fitting (not balance related), which eased and eventually disappeared once about half worn, but then they became m...Read more
uch more noisy. I scrapped them on April 30, 2014 and so happy and relieved they are gone. Never again will I buy Dunlop AT3. Never! Piece of garbage! Dunlop should be ashamed of themselves for not only releasing the tyre in the first place, but for keeping it on the market. In my opinion, it is a dangerous tyre and should be withdrawn from sale. Slippery When Wet signs take on a whole new meaning. Deadly when wet would be a better descriptionSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Junk
Drive on wet road, feel like skating. Drive on dry road, feel like crushing. no traction, noise, this piece of junk should be recalled by DUNLOP. people may get serious injury when they just pass a roundabout in rain or try to stop car near traffic... consider your own safety, please don't buy this junk.
looks good
terrible on both dry and wet condition road, terrible on high way, noise, no traction on any kind of road

Noisy!!
Like many others, I thought I had done a bearing somewhere. At about 20,000km the noise at about 80-90 kph is awful. grip offroad is rubbish too. I went to my local tyre store and they tried to sell me another set.....my reply to them was they would have to pay me!
Worst tire I have ever owned.

Rubbish
As per another review. Extreme noise cause by these tyres on two different 4wd's (Mazda bravo and Toyota prado) made me take the vehicles to mechanic thinking that there was a severe mechanical issue with my car. Each time I was told that it was he tyres despite realignment and safety check.
Had one blow out on my prado and the two that are left after 15000 have separating tread.
Thanks for wasting my money
Noisy, tread separates easily, waste of money

Noise
Noiseist tyres i have ever owned. Fitted to a RAV4 2004 3 door. Will not get these again. Have noticed other people with the same complaint. Took the car to a mechanic thinking it had done a wheel bearing, Was told that this is a common problem with these tyres. Slippery on gravel.

Noise when they start to wear
poor replacement for AT2, very noise when not even half worn,edges high and lows on edge of tread, sounds like you have a diff or wheel bearing gone, noise from around 80klm, Beaurepairs claim not warranty, the tyres have not been rebalanced, wheel alignment and rotated every 10,000 klm,Beaurepairs cop out, Beaurepairs answer sell you another set at a good price, same price that I paid before, can't wait until they are worn out, wont be putting Dunlop's on again.
look good
noisy when near 1/2 worn

Similiar story,but I didn't go back to Beaurrepairs. I've done 44000kms on mine and been really happy with them until recently .... Now the edges are feathering and the noise is terrible. Genuinely th... Read more
ought I had stuffed wheel bearings but borrowing a set of mates tyres proved it definitely was the AT3's.Same here, 8-k's in and our Kluger sounds like it has tractor tyres on! Not happy.
Any Idea in how to rotate my AT3? some say just rotate back tires to the front, some say rotate foward to back and backs crossed to front, I have a 4 by 4 but mainly drive in 2H in the city...

Poor replacement for AT2
I've been running my Surf on AT2's until I couldn't get a replacement for a bad puncture and was sold a pair of AT3's.
I would only recoment these to 4WD's that will never see off sealed road work.
They are rated as a 80/20 tyre but are scary on gravel as they slide everywhere. They dig in sand and will not float. Mud - forget it.
On the road however they are quiet and comfortable.
Sorry Dunlop but the AT3 is not and advancement on the AT2.
Quiet and stable on tar sealed roads
very poor on gravel roads, deep gravel

Very Poor wear on the Dunlop AT3 made in Thailand
It is my short experience with the Thai made Dunlop AT3 Grandtrek that they wear terribly. I just did the round Oz trip with a caravan and the two new purchased Dunlop Grandtrek's (fitted to the front) only made it just under 19000k's and in actual fact they were virtually bald (and illegal) at least a 1000k before.
The Japanese made Grandtreks (fitted to the back and loaded more than the front because of the caravan) had at least 50,000 on them before the trip and still had legal tread on them when I changed them (at about 70K) so as to matc...Read more

Great tyres
Great tyres, handle great on wet roads, quiet at high speeds. As for offroad traction cant really comment as they were used exclusively onroad. Would these tyres again. Got a bargain at $210 a tyre for 30x9.5R15 cant go wrong.
Look meaty, Quiet at speed, Great steering, Great wet road handling
nothing really

Good
Fitted to 100 series Landcruiser. Good value for money for conditions I encounter. Particularly good on wet roads. Coarse chips roads in NZ eat tyres. These lasting about as well as others.
Quiet, good roadholding, no aquaplaning, OK in snow and sand. Good steering response and braking.
Treadlife could be better but about average. Coarse chips roads in NZ eat tyres.

I need to put new tyres on my MUX and was thinking Dunlop AT3 but am now totally confused. Some reviews say good in wet, some say very bad in wet. I am an older lady so can't afford top of the line but REALLY CAN'T AFFORD to lose control of my vehicle in any conditions.

I have them on my 80 series Cruiser and have never had a problem with them losing traction in the wet or dry . Whereas I have lost traction with other tyres.
Hi, i had them standard on my FJ cruiser and they were dreadful. Handled poorly, particularly near roundabouts and particularly in the wet. Off road performance was poor but this to be expected as they are meant to be more road biased. Ironic really, at least in my case. Wear was pretty average too. Plenty of scary moments in the wet and i am a careful driver. Ive been using Falken Wildpeak At3w for the past year and their performance has surpassed the Dunlops in every way. Another irony given they have much thicker tread and designed more for mud and off road. Also, the Falkens were same or lower price than comparable Dunlops. Noise was also better. There lots of good tyre models out there and couldnt say which is best. I just know that in my case the GRANDTREKS were not a good experience and feel that the nail i ended up with in one was a blessing in disguise.
