Top 10 All-Terrain tyres for 2022 / Changing of Guard

[@Tubecraft1]

Tenth video tonight and the only one with someone who’s actually got some knowledge

[@Africasideways]

Glad to be of some assistance.

[@bertusvisseradventures]

Great video! I took the Dunlop AT3GM's from Cape Town through Botswana and up to North Zambia and back. 13000km and looking brand new. Handled any terrain fantastically! And we had some terrible roads. Also the fact that they are R2500 (approx) per tire made them my choice. Glad to see they made the list.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, been hearing more stories like yours.

[@Henriette368]

Love my Mickey Thompson ATZ’s!

[@Africasideways]

Nice!

[@chrispayne900]

Fitted Dunlop AT3GM'S to my 2013 D4d. Have done Tankwa, Tierkloof 4x4, Namakwa Eco Trail etc etc Had KO2s before the Dunlops. Fantastic tyre for carrying a heavy load and hard gravel and rock driving. Get about 8.5km/l fully loaded on trips. The tyre can comfortably be deflated under load to 1.2bar and driven on gravel, no punctures or issues. Negatives are they are slightly noisy as they have large tread blocks but really deal with water well as there are 4 large water channels running in the tread.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the valuable feedback, how many km do you think you can get off the tyre?

[@paulvictor9368]

I have the ATZs from Mickey Thompson. Absolutely love them. They go hard on the super offroad stuff. The Baja Boss will be my next tyres, because I am not sure I will be able to source the ATZs again.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, sounds proper.

[@W3llBuggaMe77]

I had Bridgestone Duelers MT's on my Pajero, slightly soft on road, great grip on road in the wet and dry, and fantastic off-roading. Reasonably priced as well. Fantastic tyre, I managed to clock over 75000km's on these. ❤️❤️

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for sharing the info, sounds proper.

[@thomramos2852]

Do you have any information on Gripmax Inception tires. Great and informative video, proudly South African continent ❤

[@Africasideways]

Not yet, I'll keep an eye out. thanks.

[@ruralrebeltory7474]

I know they are more for highway and a little off roading, but I love my bfgoodrich trail terrain t/a tires. I had K 2 tires for years but, in the last few years, I got married, and we now have two very young children, I just do not go off road like I did before I got married. These tires work great on the highway, are very quiet, yet do great when we go out to our cabin or the lake. If you are mostly on road, I would recommend these tires.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, happy motoring with the family.

[@ettienefourie8014]

Any review on the General grabber ATX?

[@Africasideways]

Not yet, will look into them.

[@vusilesani]

What are the thoughts on these Royal Black AT

[@Africasideways]

Not seen that in SA, will look out.

[@vincentpoole7588]

A/S. A much improved review this year versus earlier comparisons sir ! I helped a SAF lady earlier with her '04 LC105 where she fitted the new M/T Baja Boss AT in the Kimberley and is very impressed with their 2ply. Might be interesting to see what VW mount on their version of the South Africa assembled Amarok mista ? V.

[@Africasideways]

No way they'll have the imagination to fit those tyres.

[@kylekardolus9345]

had two very good experiences with AT3GM's one set on a ford ranger and another on a pajero sport. some serious rough terrain with absolutely no issues, only concern is they seem to wear rather quickly

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, tough tyre. Any idea why the tread life is shorter than the AT5?

[@kylekardolus9345]

@@Africasideways softer compound I would guess, only way to get such an aggressive tyre to behave in the wet.

[@nothani9516]

I drive the hyundai H-1 and i've been told AT tyres will damage my suspension. Apparently AT are more for stronger suspensions like 4x4 and trucks. Any advise on this? I do about 10% off road but still wanted to go for AT because of the bad roads in South Africa, potholes etc.

[@Africasideways]

utter rubbish, modern AT will work well on most vehicles and are superior unless you like to drive over 180km/h. Doing 10 percent gravel no brainer to get ATs. At the moment you are running 215/70 R16 likely, I'd go for 225/70 R16 for a bit more grip. Dunlop AT5.

[@nothani9516]

@@Africasideways thanks for feedback, I'm running 215/65/R17

[@Africasideways]

@@nothani9516 Cool, then go for 225/65R17.

[@petemillis4666]

I've just had Falken Wildpeak AT3WA tyres fitted to my Discovery 3. Very happy so far. Just wanted to ask something though... In 2021's video you referred to Wildpeak AT3, and showed a picture of AT3WA. In 2022's video, you refer to AT3WA, but show a picture of AT3W. Have you compared AT3W and AT3WA against each other at all?

[@Africasideways]

Great, happy to hear they are going well. Thanks for the heads-up. AT3wa is more road bias tread than AT3w, while the AT3w has a more aggressive tread - if you do a lot of serious offroading. Both great on gravel.

[@LaraineMagee]

Hi. Where did you fit yours? Stuggeling to find a dealer.

Hi South Africa

[@robertd6925]

Which one gets the best mpg?

[@Africasideways]

the less rugged ones. AT5, Grabbers and Michelin Latitude Cross.

[@tahamufaddal3810]

Great video! Really informative. Wanted your opinion on a 90% on road 10% off road on a 2016 Toyota fortuner in Kenya. Am considering the Dunlop AT5 after your video. Was also looking at the Bridgestone 697 and the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus. What do you think?

[@Africasideways]

Reply, thank you. Out of those softer options, I'd go for the AT5. If you've got the budget, I'd go for the Dunlop AT3G.

[@tahamufaddal3810]

@@Africasideways I wasn't able to find the Dunlop AT3G. But which one do you think I should go for between the Dunlop AT5 vs Falken AT3W ?

[@Africasideways]

@@tahamufaddal3810 At5 if mainly tar, if more offroad the AT3W.

[@str1506]

What’s good for 75 % on road and 25% off road ?

[@Africasideways]

25 percent is a fair amount, would get a 3 ply sidewall: Baja Boss, Maxxis Razr or Dunlop AT3GM.

[@jonathanmcgrath8074]

@africasideways have you personally driven the Pirelli all terrain plus. I have and have it on par with falken wildpeak at3

[@bruce7890]

Please get some rest! It's the holidays! Just got a set of Continental Cross Contact LX (not the LX 2) on a Pajero in the UK... I'll struggle to find any gravel here! Shortlisted the Falken Wildpeak and was also interested in Yokohama Geolanders...

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, good thing you in UK with those tekkies, not the strongest sidewall.

[@bruce7890]

@@Africasideways Yeah... Def not for African conditions!

[@Africasideways]

Sad they ripped up all the gravel, guessing wales is the best place to look.

[@bruce7890]

@@Africasideways Yeah, Wales, probably Scotland and around Salisbury... But it's nothing like the gravel/sand in Southern Africa or the crazy grade 5 "tracks" in Australia... Plus only Prado's, Disco's and bakkies in the UK (with a few notable exceptions), you can forget about the 70 series, 200 series, Patrol and the whole "Adventure SUV" category unless you import or get very lucky!

[@Africasideways]

@@bruce7890 Ja, the prado 150 is about the best you can get for off-roading over there for new cars. Guess Spain and Portugal better for long gravel stretches. Have you done much wheeling over here?

[@spudboy1328]

Just bought a set of Cooper AT3 LTX for my LC 300, based on two number 1 positions for 2020 and 2021, so sad to see they only rate #9 this time! I've only put 1000Kms on them so far, so no real feeback as yet, but they are nice and quiet.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback. Its still a top end tyre and must look great on the 300. Pls let me know how you get on.

[@spudboy1328]

Africa Sideways Was the main reason for the demotion due to troubles your friend had, or have there been a number of instances of problems?

[@Africasideways]

2 friends experience with other AT Coopers in Namibia, both lost tyres. Not your XLT thou and have not heard of problems therein, perhaps a little harsh dropping them all the way to 9. Cooper had a big recall in 2021 for some of the regular AT3s in specific sizes. 275 in particular. Recalls• Cooper Adventurer H/T (Pep Boys 275/65R18), Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S (275/65R18), Discoverer A/T3 (275/65R18), Evolution H/T (275/65R18), Discoverer AT3 4S (275/55R20)

[@masterq2.033]

I had them on my 2011 Disco 4 , V8. Did about 70,000 km on them The would go way over 100000km as they were 50% worn at most. 90 % highway use. Only a bit of rock crawling as they were 255/55R19's. I list one so decided to get a new set of 4 tyres. The Coopers were good but on highway you need to inflate them way past Landrover sticker values otherwise you get a steering wobble at about 100kph to 110kph. Also not the best in the wet on paved roads.

[@natburb]

Have Grandtrek AT5 on my 4MOTION Transporter. Can't fault them considering the price.

[@Africasideways]

thanks for the feedback

[@charlesherselmancharles]

My Dunlop AT5 now going for 100 000

[@Africasideways]

Nice, any punctures?

[@charlesherselmancharles]

@Africasideways yes, one between Solitaire and Swakopmund but I think it's because I didn't deflate tyres. Road was very bad.

[@charlesherselmancharles]

Also great on sand. Some Cruisers and hilux's with BF's got stuck. As mentioned I did not even deflate at Sossusvlei and it got us through.

[@Africasideways]

Thanks for the feedback, 20 000km and no punctures on mine, rough cederberg ect.

[@Goose_JB74]

I take it that this was based on more on road tyre

[@Africasideways]

Combination of both road and off road bias tyres
