Tire specifications
DescriptionDescription Dunlop GrandTrek MT2
The all-season passenger tire Dunlop GrandTrek MT2, produced by one of the most famous British tire manufacturers, is rightfully considered one of the most successful tires designed for off-road vehicles and special equipment. This model has a very narrow specialization, which is indicated by the "MT" prefix in its name. This means "mud terrain", i.e. the tire is designed for operation on such unstable soils as mud, sand, clay, wet grass.
The design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern of the tire is distinguished by a large number of massive and high blocks. The key feature of the tire's tread is the bidirectional arrangement of all its elements. This solution provides equal levels of traction and adhesion in both directions of movement, which significantly improves the tire's ability to overcome difficult terrain. Another important factor affecting passability is the tread's self-cleaning indicators. The tire is in perfect order in this regard, thanks to the impressive distance between all the tread blocks. The tread of the Dunlop Grandtrek MT2 tire perfectly removes various foreign objects, including large stones.
Since the tire is designed for operation mainly on rough terrain, particular attention was paid to its durability during development. To this end, the tire's carcass has a reinforced multilayer structure, which provides not only high strength but also excellent elasticity. The composition of the rubber mixture was also selected with regard to the harsh specifics of using this tire. Thanks to the use of special components, the rubber mixture gave the tire excellent resistance to wear, as well as to punctures and cuts.
Main features of the Dunlop Grandtrek MT2 tire
- excellent grip on various types of surfaces, especially on unstable soils, due to the large number of massive blocks and powerful lugs;
- a high level of comfort for this category of tire is provided by the shape and pitch of the tread blocks;
- high strength and excellent elasticity due to the reinforced multilayer construction of the carcass;
- excellent resistance to punctures, cuts, and premature wear due to the specially selected composition of the rubber mixture.

I run 265/75/16. The two wheels needed almost no weight to balance. It wasn't bought for a serious look to attract girls, but for a confident drive. Yes, it's a bit narrow, but not 225! I'm on my second season. The remaining tread depth is 75%. I bought it till the "referendum" for 6,000 RUB per piece. It's a great MT tire, where you can also comfortably drive on asphalt.

I'd say the clean tire, especially in the 235/85/16 size, has a more aggressive tread pattern, almost extreme in comparison to a wider tire. And it's silly to expect super handling on asphalt and acoustic comfort from it. In the mud, it absolutely excels, sometimes even creating the sensation that you're driving a tank. For that alone, I give it 5 stars and the rest doesn't matter.

Light (around 20kg in size 265/75R16), well-balanced. Not too noisy in the city and on the highway, but still a bit whiney depending on speed and tire type (strongly on fresh asphalt at 70-100 km/h, not noticeable above 100 km/h). Handles and brakes quite well, but it's hard to evaluate this on a pickup. Did not get into any deep mud, can't comment on that. Quite fast-wearing

Weak sidewall strength

Dunlop tires, which were the cheapest in the test, surprised with high performance on asphalt, but they have weak sidewall durability and not very good off-road performance.
