Tires GT Radial or DEXTER

DEXTER Tires

I know this is an old thread, but still posting for the people that find this when researching this tire on Google. I bought my 93 GMC about 2.5 years ago and the PO had just put a set of these on the truck. I'm not a fan of cheap tires, but I've been very happy with these. Not loud at all, great grip on dry payment and off road. They also haven't worn out nearly as bad as previous A/T tires I've had in the past.

Pros: great grip, not loud
Cons: cheap tires

I've had them for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread left. I haven't got stuck or had any issues with them. Somewhat slick when taking off on a wet road.

Pros: plenty of tread left
Cons: slick on wet road

Just yesterday, drove all the way to Madtracks Auto Center to get some GT Radial tires installed on our pickup. The sales team was pretty accommodating and the mechanics were very kind. We used Giti and GT Radial before when we were in Indonesia, so we're confident with the brand and were pleasantly surprised on how cheap they are compared to the competition. If you're on a budget but don't want to compromise, I'd definitely recommend the brand.

Pros: cheap compared to competition

DEXTER Tires

I have dextero Dat1. They got me through winter and mud without issues. I've had them over a year, and they don't really show much treadwear. The only downside is taking off in the rain from a stop with the wheels turned. The back of my truck is light, so the inside tire wants to spin. For a cheap tire, they do a good job. I would buy them again.

Pros: good in mud, good in snow
Cons: tire spin in rain

I put a set of the dextero at on my son's blazer. They did great. They are quiet. We put about 10,000 on them before we sold it. Only problem I saw was the front was wearing funny but that was the blazer not the tires.

Pros: quiet, did great
Cons: front wearing funny
Mileage: 10000 km

GT Radial Tires

GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.

Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.

Pros: fair well on dry pavement
Cons: lacking in snow, winter

I drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.

Pros: cheap
Cons: worse steering feel, longer distance
Vehicle: Subaru
