Hankook ATM RF10

[saburai]

Hello All!
I've been looking at the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 in 31X10.50 for my XJ.
Anyone have any experience with them?
The reviews are very positive.
Here is one:

Many Thanks

I just read a positive review in Petersons 4WOR magazine, but keep in mind the mags/sites pad the reviews to keep paying advertisers happy. I have heard there's a good warranty on them though!

My thoughts exactly!

They do look to be quite good, just waiting to hear of some first hand experiences...

Hello ..... I have 4 of these tires (and x-tra spare) mounted on my 2009 4x4 Ford Ranger super cab and have since early June of this year (2010). Not that long, but... I made two long road trips up to and back to the James Bay region of northern Quebec, James Bay Road, asphalt 620 km. x2, North Road 406 km x2 the Trans -Tiaga Road, 745 km. x2, NR and TTR are gravel with varing surfaces from loose stones marble sized with a few bigger ones thrown in (to keep you alert) to hard packed, few pot holes and very little washboard, well maintained, dust when dry/slime when wet. The JBR has some good whoop-de-do's and some good frost heaves that have to be watched for, but are pretty well marked. In the rain,many puddles. I was comfortable at 60 mph. as the road's are pretty straight, gently sweeping curves and almost no traffic! very remote, few services, gas, etc. etc. You do not want any mechanical/tire failures, or run off the road, hit a moose!..... you could be screwed! even w/sat. telephone help could take time and $$. My truck was equipped/loaded for 2 wks of unsupported travel (except for fuel),I did carry 20 reserve gal. on a hitch mounted carrier however and got gas whenever I could) I slept under my Leer topper. These distances were from where my trips started, not counting home to Montreal then north to the JB region which was a lot of interstate and 2 lane roads. Ok....... a little bit about my trip(s) these Hankook tires preformed FLAWLESSLY! on all surfaces, hard, soft, wet /dry did not matter, with sipping, wet... no problem, hard/soft surface at higher speeds. Dry.... again no problem hard pavement/gravel/loose dirt with the tread extending up the sidewall about 1 1/2 in. not a fear of a side wall failure (it was hot when dry and cool when wet) My size tire is 255 R 70 16 run at suggested TP. I can recommend them, so far as I am concerned, I "wrung" em out.... they passed. stay safe, mjmcdowell (I know this reply is almost a yr. later to the question.... hope it helps someone tho, m)

In case this thread has a revival . . .

I think they are outstanding. Counting spares, I had eight of them when I had the AdventureDuo's 80/Horizon setup and I thought they were perfect for the truck. Now, based on that experience, I just took the BFG KM mud terrains off the Tacoma and put new 285/75x16s in their place. So much more secure in the wet weather we'll have for the next eight months, and with the added benefit of a dramatic improvement in ride and noise.

All in all, they get my highest rating.

AMAZING in the snow and ice! Not so great in the mud, but they're not mud tires. They are wearing very well on my dads F150 too.

Where are the HanKooks made? I was wanting a set of Cooper AT3's but the tire shop has been telling me next week for three weeks and this morning they said 2 weeks. They may never get them in at this rate so I was considering the HanKook RF10's in P235/70/16 for my van.. I could almost buy 5 HanKooks for the price of the Coopers.

I just purchased a set of 5 of these Hankooks for my '04 Grand Cherokee in the 255/65/17 flavor. The Jeep is a DD that will see mild to moderate trails. I've had these on the road for about 300 miles now and I like them a lot. Traction in the rain has been great, they are very quiet, and the tread pattern looks like it will still work well in the dirt and mild rocks. So far I'm very happy with them.

arlon - I was considering the AT3's myself, but tire shop (America's Tire Co.) told me they are a good tire when you can get them. Availability is not the best with them as Cooper apparently waits for a backlog of orders then does a production run so you could be waiting a while. My Hankooks took 3 days to ship and I was told the availability is better.
