Tires Toyo or DUNLOP

Everyone I know that has used these tires has absolutely loved them, and I see tons of positive reviews for them online, but despite all that I just can't get over how they look.

Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.

But I remember back in the day (PS4s are ancient now) when I swapped from Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s to PS4s and two things stood out - how much mechanical grip they have, and how long they take to warm up.

On cold mornings, they genuinely felt like track slicks. The Dunlops would be "warmed up" and gripping fine by the time I reached the main road - maybe half a mile.

The PS4s, on the other hand, would still feel twitchy and unpredictable halfway to work (~18 miles). It took a good 8-9 miles before they came in. And before they warm up, they are very on/off - loads of mechanical grip, but almost no compound grip, so they can suddenly let go.

Hot take, but the TOYO ectensa tires have been great for me the past year I've had them on, granted we don't get much snow or freezing roads where I live. But for 600 out the door I have them a shot and the grip is great without wearing too quick

I've been riding Toyo Open Country AT3's on my taco for 4 years and they do great in the snow/ice.

An easy performance mod is lighter wheels with track tires, the stock dunlops are alright but pretty underwhelming for being a 200treadwear tire. If you want better ride quality, switch to a high performance all season.

I like the Toyo T1R , but damn it's an oooold design now...toyo really need to update it.

I personally experienced a blow out from Dunlop tires in the 90’s. Although they have improved since then i still wouldnt risk it.

2019 F150 2wd on 2.5 level. 1st pic is 33inch tires and the second is 35/12.5/20 toyo mt’s. Not really digging this set up. $500 mistake.

Toyo & Nitto Tire Recall Alert

If you’re running Toyo or Nitto tires, take a minute to check your setup—there’s an official recall that could affect your safety.

An isolated issue in the belt manufacturing process may cause the tread or belt to separate while driving. This can lead to reduced control and increase the risk of a crash.
