Hankook Dynapro Buyer’s Guide

The Dynapro family of tires—just like their manufacturer, Hankook—have been steadily increasing in popularity in the United States for more than two decades. Designed specifically for SUVs and pickup trucks, Dynapro tires offer reliable all-terrain, mud terrain and highway-terrain tires at a great value.

Although Hankook may be a new brand to some tire buyers, their history dates back to 1941 as the Chosun Tire Company, the first tire manufacturer in Korea. By 1953, they changed their name to Hankook Corporation and earnestly started their decades-long development to become a respected worldwide tire brand.

Common traits of the Dynapro line? An emphasis on strength and durability, especially for off-road conditions. They are built with high strength belts, most of which are nylon reinforced, to improve steering and mitigate external damage in off-road applications. Other common features you’ll love include a jointless bead wire to prevent bead separation, a reinforced carcass to aid in ride comfort, hill climbing and steering ability.

Which Hankook Dynapro tire is best for you? Our buyer’s guide below will help you make the best tire buying decision for you and your vehicle!

HANKOOK DYNAPRO X/T

The latest addition to the Dynapro family of tires won’t be stopped by severe weather or terrain.

If you want off-road fun but need a tire with the manners to behave on the road for your pickup or SUV, the Hankook Dynapro X/T is for you. It comes in a huge range of sizes to fit your Ford F-150, Jeep Wrangler and more!

The Dynapro X/T gives you boosted off-road grip with a high rigidity center and shoulder blocks. The attractive sawtoothed sidewall also aggressively enhances off-road traction while adding protection, even in rough terrain. A specially formulated compound increases both your tire’s mileage and cut-and-chip resistance!

It also boasts a severe weather rating certifying its performance in severe conditions.

And for on-road features, wide zig-zag and V-shaped lateral grooves deliver powerful grip both on and off-road in mud, wet and light snow conditions. Chamfered beveled edges pair with optimized tread pitch variation tech for a comfortable, quiet ride on pavement.

This amazing all-terrain is frequently (favorably) compared with more premium branded off-road tires but at a fraction of the cost!

HANKOOK DYNAPRO AT2 XTREME

The Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme offers extreme weather and off-road capability. If you need an all-terrain light truck tire that can handle the elements without compromising its off-road chops, this is the tire for you.

It features multi-directional grooves and siping in combination of cross combined scoops on the shoulder for boosted traction and boasts both the M+S and three-peak mountain snowflake severe weather designations. It’s made to last too, with a durable tread compound and Hankook’s Max mileage tech for a long-wearing tire. High-depth sidewall blocks also resists cuts in off-road conditions, helping your tread last.

And you won’t hear much from these tires either with its staged block edges that puts up a sound barrier for road noise. Noise is also prevented via tie-bars that stabilize your treadblocks. 

Of course, this makes the AT2 Xtreme an excellent personal or work truck tire.

To top it all off: this all-terrain has an extremely high 70,000-mileage warranty. You do not typically see them this robust!

HANKOOK DYNAPRO HT RH12

Do you prefer to stick to the pavement? Your sport truck or SUV will do well with a set of Hankook Dynapro HT RH12. The recipe for this all-season highway tire includes a heavy helping of performance and long-lasting tread features. Plus, it’s easy on the environment.

Smooth, long lasting and engineered to handle the heavier load your SUV or pickup carries, the HT RH12 is a commuter’s dream.

A durable rubber compound works in tandem with a specialized symmetrical tread pattern to resist uneven treadwear to allow for a longer service life. It’s built for max mileage.

This tire is also super strong with a high-tensile strength sidewall rubber. Steering response is on point with stable shoulders and a high-stiffness continuous center rib. For weather related traction, independent tread blocks featuring interlocking geometry, zig-zag siping and biting edges work with circumferential grooves to boost wet and snow grip. You’ll also enjoy seeing savings at the gas pump via its low-rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency.

This tire includes a 40-70,000-mile warranty, depending on size. Hankook also backs it with their Road Hazard Warranty.

HANKOOK DYNAPRO HP2 RA33

The Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33 is a luxurious all-season tire catering specifically to your sports utility vehicle (SUV).

Its design is optimized for steering and handling in wet or dry conditions with a high-end construction utilizing a high loading silica compound for lowered rolling resistance. Who said luxury tires can’t be economical?

This tire experiences maximum road contact for improved high-speed stability thanks to a jointless, full cover reinforced belt. Silencer sipes reduce harmonic tread pattern sound for a comfy, muted ride. Four channels and lateral grooves reduce the risk of hydroplaning so your confidence, no matter the season, isn’t at all misplaced.

It includes a 65,000-mile warranty.

HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM RF10

Be ready for any rough road with the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10. This aggressive all-terrain tire offers many of the same on-road features of the AT2 but boasts a heartier tread and thicker sidewalls to rebuff damage while on the trail.

You’ve seen tough tires before, but the ATM RF10 is also built to last. Whether its work or play, its wide footprint resists uneven treadwear. Its aggressive sharp edge tread pattern delivers powerful grip and a stylish off-road look.

Confidently traverse any trail with a durable reinforced under-tread gauge and thick sidewall that resists damage from hard impacts and punctures. Stone ejectors spit out stones and other debris to protect against stone drilling and other sharp object injury.

Rim flange protectors also protect your wheels from both the curb and trail damage. Even better, both P-metric and LT-metric lines of the RF10 include the M+S tire and three-peak winter snowflake designation for severe weather.

For the right combination of performance and value, you can’t go wrong with the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10.

HANKOOK DYNAPRO MT2 RT05

The Hankook Dynapro MT2 RT05 is the mud terrain tire that Hankook boasts is “built for the wild,” and we believe them.

Although it is a mud terrain tire, the MT2 RT05 offers considerable on-road performance and comfort.

Its symmetric “Terrain Strike” pattern delivers rugged off-road design elements that work with an advanced off-road tread design for superior traction in difficult terrain. Its high-void tread pattern utilizes prominent stone ejectors to boost loose surface traction and dislodge large rocks. This prevents external damage and loss of traction all at once.

Its extended, thicker shoulder tire pattern offers grip and sidewall protection against splitting and protruding objects while reinforced tread gauge and nylon reinforced belts increases steering control and durability. Bead separation is kept at bay via a jointless bead wire in low air pressure applications.

For on-road handling, it uses a tread-to-shoulder design for a rigid, unified package that offers a comfortable, low noise experience.

Although it features the M+S severe weather designation, its lack of siping and other winter elements means it’s not really meant for heavy winter conditions.

Hankook backs this tire with their 30-day free trial to ensure you’re 100% satisfied.
