Jonathan, how long did you use the dunlops for. Were you happy with them?jonathan wrote: Cedric I was off the same opinion until recently, not sure if I have changed my mind just yet. In January I ruined a sidewall on my Khumo AT's. I bought my trol with them on so I had no idea of age or mileage etc, but they were also starting to perish. The spare was a BFG so I decided not to mess around and get new tyres.
Since I'm still considering swapping the 4.5 for a 4.8 I didn't want to spend R3500 per tyre only to see them being driven off by someone else! So I found these Dunlop MT's. After going through a rollercoaster of emotions trying to decide I went for it. I have driven only a few hundred km's so far but - the wobble I experienced at 90-110km/h is gone, the vehicle pulling to the left permanently is also gone. Both symptoms I have given up trying to rectify after deciding they must just be a trol thing.
Like I said I have not yet changed my mind about Dunlops, but so far these have done pretty good trying to convince me!
I am considering the Grandtrek MT2's as a cheaper alternative...(tyres are getting too expensive!)
