Tires Toyo or DUNLOP

I have Dunlop Winter Response tires and NA grips in snow like crazy. Had cheaper ones some time ago and difference is stunning.

I have the Toyo Open Country A/T III EVs. After about 3k mi, I’m observing 1.9 mpk on a G1 Quad in all purpose. Coming from the 21” Pirellis, I’m pretty happy with the road noise and how they’ve handled, especially this winter so far.

For a road like this Dunlop Mutant. If you look at what supermoto riders do with them, purely insane. And from my own experience with them, very very good traction even in cold weather around the freezing point or when wet. Does'nt smear when its very hot at least with my 100hp bike and its very good in corners. They look very rough but they run quite smooth. Also you can get ~10k miles out of them.

Look at the Toyo AT 3 EV’s, they are super light for an AT tire. They rode great, zero noise.

I went with a set of 5 Toyo Open Country AT3 in 265/75/16 which have better snow performance were much cheaper at $185/tire.

Now, here is the weak link for the CCX-70- and CX-90: The factory tires (Toyo Open Country A51 on our CX-70) are highway touring tread, only 8/32" tread depth brand new, and a very tame and dry pavement oriented tread pattern designed for quiet ride. We live in the midwest and I am kicking around swapping out the tires, but therein lies another constraint, at least on our model: It has 19" rims and factory installed Toyo's are 265/55R19 size (109V load rating). That is an oddball/rare tire size.

If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.

To add to other comments, I had a Dunlop catastrophically fail going 90 mph, it was my rear wheel and it was a wild ride for 10 secs, I came out fine but my bike took quite a beating

10, miles, no wear on the penny scale.

20,xxx, still no wear using the penny.

30,xxx, found out on a wet road, noooooo stopping power, no wear, look like the day I bought them.

Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
