OVERVIEW
The Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 is a highway terrain all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. This model has some touring, passenger vehicle sizes as well. Dunlop offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The special detailed tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to provide an enhanced all weather road gripping ability. The tire performs well in dry, wet and winter weather with ease. The special siping design further boosts the driving safety year round as they improve the road grip. The lateral and circumferential grooves and the crosscut siping design promote first-rate water dispersal, which not only increases the wet weather traction but also actively prevents hydroplaning.
The aggressive tread pattern upgrades the tire’s traction and enables it to perform well in slight off-road situations. The tread design’s large independent tread blocks find firm grip on soft and loose road surfaces as well. This makes the tire perfect for driver’s looking for versatility in their tires as it performs well both on and off-road.
The tread pattern’s continuous center rib and independent tread blocks and the reinforced internal structure improve the tire’s handling. As a result, the tire is stabilized against the driving pressure, by maintaining constant road contact. The tread design’s enhanced road contact boosts the steering responsiveness and precision, which makes the tire quick and accurate in its response to the driver’s instructions. The better steering and stability ensure a safe and easily controllable driving experience.
The independent tread blocks also improve the tread life. They evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area, which prevents irregular tread wear from forming across the tread. As the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking are spread out equally, the driving pressure does not just focus on one area of the tire and the tread does not wear out prematurely. The longer lasting, even wear ensures the longevity of the tread and usability.
The Grandtrek AT20 offers a comfortable driving experience. The internal structure features twin steel belts and a Dimensionally Stable Polyester Cord that lower the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. This is possible as they maintain the optimal tire shape and, as the tire does not deform under the driving pressure, it is capable of closely following the road surface, making the drive more enjoyable.
