    I'm at 35,000+ on mine and look to be good for another 7-8,000 miles. I'm obviously doing something wrong....

    Got my truck with 6k on odometer. Sitting at 17k now. The tread is night and day different over nine months time.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    The Dunlop AT20s were great!

    They came on my truck when I bought it, which helped me get to my local Discount Tire.

    I have 28k on these tires. I cant complain, been on the road 99 percent of the time though. Only thing was one snow issue, maybe a abs/tire issue. Definitely looking forward to getting new tires this fall.
    Been on the beach twice this summer and were times i thought would loose traction in sand and was alright. Winter sand, was always fine.
    Oh yeah they were ok on the jersey turnpike too, as per original post, haha...and the blue ridge highways in carolinas also.
    I have often thought, what a pr nightmare for dunlop...here they win a big account w toyota and then get thousands of negative responses online. For the price of what the tires go for, i would say they do their job...and for toyotas sake, achieved good gas mileage.
    My front tires also got chirping sounds this summer, in like parking lots making slow turns and they needed air. I never rotated them, so fronts got worn.

    Oh the Dunlops....

    1 lasted me 2,700 miles where it got a sidewall cut cost me $125 for a new one, 3 of them and the replacement lasted me to 10,000 miles, where I sold them for $220 and bought some M/S2's. What a difference! Much happier with the truck.

    25,000 miles on mine, decent amount of tread left. Mostly NJ on road driving, they've done ok on turnpike, NJ winter with plenty of snow, Killington VT in February, some gravel and sand/mud....I am deliberately cautious with them because of all the bad reviews, but so far they haven't left me anywhere. Guess I'm the exception. That being said, looking forward to replacing them with ATX 2's.

    My Dunlops lasted 38k until I had this happen. Between the five Dunlops I ran I had 10 punctures, and one was close enough to the sidewall that I replaced the tire. I had maybe 4k left when I replaced the set when the tire went pop.

    Beyond that they handled very well. I don't feel much difference on graded dirt roads between the dunlops and the duratracs and the Dunlops handled speed and cornering much better. Also better MPG's. Not a bad tire, but with how many punctures I had I wanted to try something else.

    Practically gave mine away at 28,000. The guy that bought them was finding more plugs....than tread. Offered them free to my son and he wouldn't take 'em.

    Kissed my Grand Treks goodbye today. Sold them to a fellow and replaced them with Cooper Adventurer ATs. Two years old, 18,000 miles. They were quiet and forgiving. Made a terrible squawk in parking decks.

    Im at 26K on them, once had to swerve into a ditch while going 45 mph on a backroad. It was sort of steep but my yota hopped back on the road with no problems. Cant really praise my tires for saving my ass but they didn't pop and i did not die! word.:mudding:

    That's funny. I had the Dunflops on my 2010. A friend bought a 2011 and it had bridgestone duellers on it. they looked a little better than the flops....

    Although I never had a flat, they were terrible in these conditions:

    Dry pavement
    Wet pavement
    Cool pavement
    Mud
    If there was snow visible in the hills, the tires would spin in protest....
    I ran them for 20k Km, and then chucked em

    Are they seriously putting them on the new tacos?

    I've never owned these, but I'm glad someone brought this up. One of my co workers just got a '15 and it came with these. I was honestly really surprised how bare the tread is on them being almost new, looks like something that would be on a minivan or a corolla. I've been trying to sell a set of good condition toyo H/Ts for over 2 months with no luck at $180 bucks for 4. But I see these crap dunlops flying off craigslist for 3-400 bucks constantly. presumably from new Taco owners taking them off, I have no clue who's buying the things though.

    I put about 1200 miles on these tires and will be taking them off next week when the new KO2 tires arrived. They flood in the rain, otherwise, quiet and drive smooth on Highway
