Our take

The Dunlop Grandtrek PT21 is best suited for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in a touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores are both at 8, aligning with category averages, making it a solid choice for long, relaxed drives. However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 trails the category average of 6.9, which might be a concern for those frequently driving in wet conditions. The tire's UTQG treadwear rating of 360 is notably lower than the category average of 596, and it lacks a treadwear warranty, suggesting a shorter lifespan and potentially higher replacement costs. This places it at a disadvantage compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX, which offers a warranty and better wet grip performance. Overall, while the Grandtrek PT21 offers a comfortable ride, it's not the best choice for those who drive in wet conditions or seek long-lasting tread life. Drivers who prioritize wet traction and longevity might want to consider alternatives like the Continental ProContact TX.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores both at 8, matching the category average — a solid choice for drivers prioritizing a quiet and smooth ride.
  • Dry grip rating of 7.5 is competitive, though slightly below the category average of 7.8, making it adequate for most everyday conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 provides reliable control, aligning well with typical touring tire expectations.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is below average, which could be a safety concern in rainy climates.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 falls short of the category average of 6.9, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • No treadwear warranty provided, which might increase long-term costs compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX with its warranty.
  • The UTQG treadwear rating of 360 is significantly below the category average of 596, indicating a shorter lifespan.
