Dunlop AT20 Tires or LSD?

This couple of days has been raining a lil bit

I have the TRD Sport with no a-trac just the mechanical LSD on my truck with Stock Dunlop AT20, since it started raining, I saw a lot of decrease on the grip of the back tires, i dont have any weight on the bed, and Im wondering if is the POS stock tires, or is it my LSD, it wont last a lot, just when accelerating from a Stop, of course i control it with less gas, but just wondering....

 

My guess is it is a combination of lack of weight in the back end with the stock tires.

 

It snowed on Monday and I gotta say those Dunlop AT20s suck. I see on Tire Rack they rank 63 out of 66. I can't imagine there is a worse tire. Shame on Toyota for putting such a crappy tire on a great truck. Sorry. Rant over.

 

completely agree with you, i just hit 16000 km on the odo (about 10k miles) and i can see the thread is not too deep....

Also, every damn time, on dry pavement, when I make a U turn or almost any turn i notice the tires screech a lot, even at the slowest speed.....

 

Probably just need a little weight, how much do a spare tire and tailgate weigh?

 

screw you.....



yea, i have a spare now, just need the tailgate.... damn it.... i knew someone would bring that up....

 

Sorry I coudn't pass on it

 

Crappy tires.

 

its the pos dunlop Dunlops suck

 

Rear tire.... at 16k Km, one rotation



Front tire at 16k Km, one rotation

 

its time for new tires Bridgestone A/T revos

 

I have the same tires on my 06 DC with 30000 kms and they suck also, what do you guys recommend for a new tire, I'd like something with a good lug for winter yet still good on the highway.

thanks

 

Bridgestone A/T revos or BFG A/Ts are two good choices. I have run a couple of sets of BFGs and love them.

 

It's the tires. There was a world of difference when I replaced mine Dunslops after only 8K miles.

 

what did you out in?

 

X2...those tires are terrible, love my Nittos now!

 

I drove my truck in the snow a few weeks ago (4 to 6 inches) and the dunflops are the worst tires I have ever had on any of my trucks. I honestly think the summer tires I had on my old X-Runner where better in the snow.

 

i put the dunlop rovers on. they are also rated for the winter. they have the snowflake symbol on them. very happy with them

 

Get Revo's.

 

Me too @ 8k & had a hard time selling them on CL. Finally someone who desperately needed tires bought them for $100
