New Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction

[gahill2]

Alright, the sizes are apparently for the whole N. American market, not just Canada:

305/70R16..........E-ply
245/75R16..........E-ply
265/75R16..........E-ply
285/75R16..........E-ply
315/75R16..........E-ply
265/70R17..........E-ply
285/70R17..........D-ply
315/70R17..........D-ply
37x13.50R18.......D-ply
275/65R18..........E-ply
325/65R18..........E-ply
275/70R18..........E-ply
37x13.50R20.......E-ply
305/55R20..........E-ply
305/60R20..........E-ply
275/65R20..........E-ply
37x13.50R22.......E-ply

So basically they are going after the light-truck crowd with the larger sizes of both tires and wheels. A lot of the newer pickups are coming from the factory with 20" wheels.
I wouldn't hold your breath for the 255 size either, it's unfortunately not that widespread of a size in the tire market.

Any idea of a price for the 275/65/20 and the 305/55/20 and what they measure? My new pickup did come with factory 20's and I hate the tires that are on it now.

Thanks

Yeah, I thought you sold the DII what replaced it??

No idea on prices, it's going to be highly variable depending on where you buy them from.

I did sell it. Just wasn't a good DD anymore.

Got a 4wd GMC Sierra 1500. It is a good truck and comforable to travel in...will also double as a tow vehicle when the right project comes along!

They just priced theirselves out of my market if these prices are accurate for the 20" tires.

The individual dealers will sell them at less than full MSRP.
To get accurate pricing you NEED to go straight to a tire shop.

They look alot like the Dunlop "Radial Rover R/T" that I just put on the '94 Disco to replace the worn out BFG TracEdge...235/85-16.

I haven't been anywhere interesting yet with the new Dunlops, but they've been great in the snow this winter!

Any experience on these new Dunlops? Like the idea of a tire between an AT and an MT.

That tire...that size...my all-time favorite tire EVER.

just bought new tires.... DUNLOP ROVER M/T MAXX TRACTION LT245 75 R16 for my kj liberty. i also lifted with OME and rancho RS9000.

went last weekend to try them in rocky trails, excelent grip, and minor noice, little more than bfg'at.:sombrero:

Just ordered me a set of them in 265/75R16 E-ply for my Powerstroke. I have been hearing really good things about this tire and can't wait to get them in.

i run the original Mud Rover on my pathfinder in 285/75-16, and absolutely love them. my only complaint with them is there slightly diminished rain performance. these new Rovers look like they finally addressed the issue, with plenty of siping across the entire tread surface. at $171/ea they're priced very competitively, and i will be trying them out as soon as i wear down my current tires.

After 6 month+, any experience ?

Anybody has now used them for more than 6 months ?
How do they wear ? Good off road ?

Pros and cons ?

How would you compare them to any of those you might have used :

- BFG A/T

- TOYO Open country

- Yokohama Geolandar ATS

- Cooper STC

- Goodyear silent armor ?

Thanks

Bump to renew interest. I am in the market and these are in the top 3 for my Tundra.

More Owners Out There??

Looking for feedback on these tires too. Time to make a move and would like a hybrid at/mt type tire and the price is right! Considering these and the Duratracs, but have read that the Duratracs have softish sidewalls and feel a little squirrelly.

How is the noise on road - maybe compared with BFG ATs?? Wearing well? Wet weather traction? Offroad traction?
Do they wander around on the road or do they track pretty well??
