I just wanted to share my opinion of the Dunlop Mutants after about 3000km of fixed use (highway touring, mountain twists, commuting, and fire/gravel/cottage roads in wet/dry/cold conditions. The tires are brilliant and my new favourite road tire.
I put some Nokian WR G4s on my wife's 2017 Outback when we had that. It was a beast in the snow and I am a Nokian lifer now.
I’m putting Nokian Entyre 2’s on as soon as I need them. I’ve run them on 3 other vehicles and they are fantastic.
I had WRG4s on a previous vehicle in Ontario. They are great shoulder season tires, and are manageable in the winter.
But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.
Nokian is better on Snow and ice, less tread life
Michelin is better on wet and dry, but still decent in snow, better tread life
Have a look at the Bridgestone Weatherpeak as well, better tread life and easily comparable to the Nokian in snow and ice.
The Nokian Nordman are great aswell, would argue they are bit better than new Hakkas when there is wet snow on the road (ice and compacted snow, both great).
The Nokian One Tires are marked as a low rolling resistance tire and I decided to give them a try. I drove a 14 mile loop with my old Michelin MXM4's at 35 MPH and then drove the same loop with the new Nokian One's. The Nokian tires had about 13% higher Watt-Hour per Mile consumption.
The last set of Dunlop’s were ass. Doubt these are much better.
