Dunlop GrandTrek AT3

Hey all

My tyres are shod and I need to replace all four so now the big question...

I'm looking at the Dunlop GrandTrek AT3 [ http://www.dunloptyres.com.au/dotCMS...&from=nPerPage ]

Any thoughts?

Else Bridgestone D694 at this stage.

I did look at the Micky ATZs 4-Rib although a little to aggressive for my percentages..

Any thoughts appreciated!

Simply put - don't do it! I put on a set of AT3's just over 12 months ago and have had four side wall splits in that time. The AT3's for the Prado aren't the Light Truck version (which has the white writing) and are no good for 4WDing. Two of the splits happened on a training track, one on a Grade 2 and only the most recent was on a decent (i.e., semi-challenging) track. Luckily I purchased the tyre warranty but even then there is always the argument over how much tread is left on the tyre (i.e., how much I have to pay) - if I trusted this, the tyres would apparently only be good for 20,000 KMs ('50% wear' after just 10,000 KMs). I've now accepted that I need a second set as I can't take the AT3s out bush.

Cheers for that - Sets it up quite nicely.

Will be Bridgestone D694s I think - AT3 only came into my mind when I saw them at a shop the other day.

D694 - Should be a good choice I think!
