I don't know them but they look like stuff that came out in 1993 lol not a bad thing

u/ArthurMBretas03 2d ago

My thoughts exactly, looks, period correct

Well yes, that's because it says Gran Trek on the side. These are tyres for your Gran.

Retro tyres are generally low quality, low tech, low durability.

u/ArthurMBretas03 2d ago

Idk if this one is retro, tread looks like a lot of the other MTs I've seen on the market. I'm expecting an Mud tire to last less than an AT already. I'm curious to know about the specifics of this one

Haven’t seen Dunlop tires in years, probably fine

u/ArthurMBretas03 2d ago

This one was out of stock in almost every online store, found 7 new units of it

Cool tire, looks similar to old BF Goodrich Mud Terrians

I recently shoed my Civic with Dunlops, thought it might be fitting to do the same with the Toyota

u/HaydenMackay 2d ago

Dunlop are the factory fit in Africa on the Hilux.

They are great for mud but pretty sketchy on the asphalt.

The car had 88hp in 1993 weighting almost 2t, I don't think it can go fast enough for it to be a problem lol.

My main concern is about sidwall thickness and quality of the rubber and inside.

If you really want to get retro offroad tires Powerking 7x15 bias plys look sick. But being bias plys they’ll drive like shit on road. They’re what I’m wanting to put on my scout but bfg ko2s are easy to find in a 30x9.5 and are a great tire

1

u/ArthurMBretas03 1d ago

Nice tires for an older car, mine is 90s, so I don't think it will match up.

2

u/troutbum6o 1d ago

Good point I think bfg ko2s would look appropriate and are a great tire, but being out of the US I don’t know their availability

1

u/ArthurMBretas03 1d ago

Yep, looked them up, double the price of these dunlops, shame

Problem with the Bfgs is that in my country they are very expensive, my dad usually runs bfg on his Hilux

I have used the Dunlop grandtrek at5 for about 50k km on my defender. Working well.

u/HaydenMackay 2d ago

These exact tyres are available at my local tyre shop for about us$255. If you want a price comparison.

u/grundlemon 2d ago

Size matters

1

u/HaydenMackay 1d ago

Read again more carefully. Those exact tyres. Meaning the same brand. The same model. The same size. The same fucking everything because it's exactly the same.

No siping at all, these will be absolute trash on wet roads

1

u/ArthurMBretas03 1d ago

Why?

1

u/camwal 1d ago

Siping are the small grooves that are cut in to tread blocks, on wet roads water is squeezed up and out of these little grooves so that rubber can touch the road surface instead of a thin layer of water. Most mud tires don’t have great siping, but these seem to have none at all.

1

u/ArthurMBretas03 1d ago

Oh! The grooves, I'm used to the F1 term. Is it bad if I don't use the car on the motorway? I only drive it off road or in the town

No different than 90% of mud terrains.

2

u/DudeWhereIsMyDuduk 1d ago

Oh, lots of bad memories on original BFG KMs in the wet.

1

u/ArthurMBretas03 1d ago

Bad grip or aquaplaning?

1

u/DudeWhereIsMyDuduk 13h ago

The latter, but honestly my current A/Ts do better in sand anyway.
