58,000 km with my 2022 Fortuner: My experience with new AT tyres

With industry changing fast, good to see Toyota sticking to the 10 year life span for this platform.

Car has put decent miles this year though less than earlier years. Most of the drives have been short one’s . Goa, couple of drives to Chennai, and of course many Bangalore-Puttur drive. Car has done 58500KM and by year end hopefully should see the car hit 60K mark. Newer cars in garage have reduced some of the drive for Fortuner . For most of the drives, car was packed to the brim, extra space and seats have been put to full use. With kids growing up, have come to realize the importance of extra space, no car is big when you travel with kids .

New dueler AT is pretty good. There is bit more noise than HT and slight drop in fuel efficiency. That said the tires are better in wet conditions and braking is better too. Tires perform much better off road being AT. The stock tires which had run 52K were struggling for traction, the 500NM torque would make them slip easily even on tarmac, newer tires results in much lesser TC light blink in console.
