Dunlop AT20's replace before snow flies?

There is no way my tires will get anywhere close to 90k miles. I doubt they will make it to 25k. I'm not an aggressive driver and I rotate the tires every 5,000 mile. The tire pressure is set to 32 psi. Maybe mine came from a different factory or have a different rubber compound than yours, but these are the worst tires I have ever owned.

 

I got 50,000 miles out of mine, but they were really too sketchy in the snow. If I lived somewhere without snow, I think I could have made it till next summer with them, but IMO it was time to make a change. I like to use 4x4 if i need too but don't want to have to depend on it to get me to work in the morning.

 

Maybe I'll get more mile out of these tires than I think, but I'll be replacing them with something better in the future for sure. I want to get a true A/T tire anyway so I can do some offroading and have more confidence in my tires when the rare snow storm does hit. With 4wd I'll make it through this winter even with the Dunlops.

 

It seems that maybe dunlop has some serious quality control issues. Some good most bad. I definatley wont be replacing them with the same tires. I'd like the stability of a load range E tire.

 

I had these winter tires installed today (with studs) on the factory wheels. They look like they will be good in the snow. I'll know soon enough!!

Cheers.
