Hankook Dynapro M/T Tire

[LexusAllTerrain]

I am looking into these tires for my 03' 4Runner, in the 265/70-17'' size, any opinions will be appreciated. I will be using these tires for 85% hwy use, and deep sand , rocky trails ( washboard roads ) in Baja.

I was looking at those for a while too, but they all seem to be load range E in the sizes I wanted.

What was the prob with E?

[bigreen505]

Just seems like gross overkill for my needs.

[LexusAllTerrain]

So, would they be acceptable for my needs? I think the they should be more then enough protection for my needs, specialy for Baja! Your thoughts in deep sand , rocky terrain! Also they seem very similar to the Toyos Mud terrains, however they do not carrie the size i need for my vehicle!

i had the hankook all terrains, uhhh Z36 or something like that, in a 31 on my truck before the bfg's, and they gripped real well on road and off, probably as good as my bfg's, except in the snow. also, they only lasted about 30k (km), and they were done!

Im running the Hankook's MT RT03 (295 75R16) and so far (2 trips) they've worked just fine. I have zero complaints, but it's way too early to tell. The price was a deciding factor because i was trying to get the most bang for the buck and build my rig in a 8 week period before it's maiden voyage.

Great! glad to hear somebody has some experience with the tires, how much noise do you get compare to bfg all terrains, how good are the side walls when you air down? and were they difficult to balance. Thanks!:exclaim:

[adventureduo]

Well i just aired them down on Saturday for a run and just air'd them back up today (yes tuesday) and no problems whatsover. Ran on the fwy @ 55mph for a few minutes too. I never felt the side wall for heat though, i should have. They're rated for load D. They seem quieter than the BFG mud-terrain t/a's ive owned. They were like normal mud tires balancing when new.. i won't know till i go back in again for another balance later on.

Here's pics the day i mounted them up.

What was retail?

[adventureduo]

I got a good deal @ Americas Tire.. lemme check my invoice..

I had them match their Americas Tire Direct website:)... and they covered the shipping that way too hehehe

[adventureduo]

I paid $146.00 a tire... which i think the BFG's were $179.00 a tire? i dont remember.. here's the link.. for the pricing with free shipping...

Great looking truck, it looks very good with the Hankooks! I just hope they are not overkill for my 4Runner sport V8. I got a quote on the tires 164.00 each.

I found this video talking about the new Dynapro Mt tires.

I am considering between the Hankooks and Chuck's Maxxis, he mentions lower noise then his Geolanders, so I am trying to decide between the two tires for my 4Runner on a 265/70-17" tire size, any suggestions or comments other then the load range between this two tires!

The Dynapro MT RT03 is a rugged tire designed for "true off-road drivers." The V-shaped tread blocks are tapered for better grip in mud or sand and you should see them perform in snow. There are "ejectors" built into the tread grooves to prevent stones from penetrating. Specifically designed shoulders keep dirt from building up and to help prevent damage from impacts.

I don't think Chuck would take well to you taking his tires...

Great catch!:yikes:

However i think he would not mind;) using the Maxxis for a little while!

Mine aren't for sale. ;) The noise thing could just be in my head, they seem less noisy than the Geos, but they are still a MT and you hear me coming down the road for sure.

[LexusAllTerrain]

Ok. time to order the tires, I will order these tires, however i read how a mud tire is not good for deep sand, any thruth to it? Also would the E load be overkill for my 4runner? It is a 3 side ply tire!
Your tought before I make the purchase...:confused:

Now remember these tires will be used 80% hwy and 20% off-road in very remote areas, and the vehicle is not an every day driver, mainly for exploretion trips.

[LexusAllTerrain]

I went to order the tires at Discount, and they are in back order.

I found these tires on ebay; your thoughts.
Seems like a taller narrow tire, however the price is great.

255 is the width alot of us seem to be using. Although not as tall as a 255/85 these should work great in the feild. I say go for it.
