I had a little over 80k on my hankoook dynapro when I replaced them this fall. Good tires , I would have put them on again but I switched out to a lt tire instead of the p rating because I haul wood in my pickup and wanted a tire with a higher load rating.

I have run the Hankook ATM tires on my 1997 F150 for a few years now....no complaints.

Tires that last 50,000+ miles are not usually great snow/ ice tires.
Softer compound tires are what you want but don't expect great longevity.

Price wise, the best tires I've found that are a GREAT tire is the General Grabber AT2' s.

I've got Cooper at3, s on my 3/4 ton suburban.
Can't wait to get them off!
Terrible on snow n ice!

I won’t run dynapros anymore. 30k on the f150 and they were shot. 25k on the f250 same thing. Rotated every oil change. Went back to bfg at. Little spendy but I get 50k out of them.

I believe the Hankooks are made in China. I ran a set of them and the sidewalls were like paper thin. I ended up cutting 3 sidewalls in one year and scrapping almost new tires. Wasn't real impressed with them. Have had good luck with the BFG's or General Grabber AT3's

4x4? What year?

I'm running these now in a LT285 75 16 on my 03'. Largest tires that fit without a lift. So far so good. Had AT3's and HATED them. Started getting flats in a month and wore terribly.

I've been running the Dynapro's for that last 6-7 years. When new they are great winter tires. After 30-40k, not so much. It just so happens that I put on about 60k per year. Every fall I put on a new set on my
Silverado. So, they dig through the snow when they are new, and are perfectly at home on the dry pavement with a little age. The perfect formula for me.

That's a good point!

I never had a Cooper tire that I liked on any vehicle, especially AT3s on three different full sized trucks. The worst choppiest tire wear I've ever seen. Totally baffled with how they can wear down one lug, skip a lug, wear down two, skip one, wear down 1, skip 2......every tire, every time.

The last tires I put on this F150 are Kuhmos AT something rather. They have been fantastic with wear, traction, and ride. I've never had a bad set of Kuhmos.


Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.

I've never been one to get excited about tires but these things are great. I've never had a tire bite the snow like these do. I wanted a ten ply tire for the gravel roads near my camp but no manufacturer makes them for a Chevy Colorado, so I'm told. The dealer suggested these in an eight ply. I'm glad I listened to him.

I put Goodyear Duratrac on my 2008 GMC 2500 HD in December. Unbelievable traction and very little tire noise.

I am running 265/70/17 On a 02 f150 4x4. Right now I have a worn smooth set of Michelin on there. Were on the truck when I bought it, highway tread on those. Need something that will get me on and off the lakes for ice fishing. Down the muddy back roads, boat ramps etc. It is my daily driver so I don't want to hear the howling when i am going down the highway.

ADC those tires look like they could be loud?

I'm currently running AT3's on my 2500hd Chevy. I really like them so far, just 20,000 miles on them. I do rotate every 5-6000 miles.

They are not loud at all, I mean you can tell they have tread on them but its dang quiet for the amount of tread. Go big on the tires, no one ever had too much traction or clearance. 285/75-17 or similar.

Pathfinder All Terrain. I got the load range E. Very happy with them, and will go the same route when it is time.

I agree with bucksnbears I've got a set of Cooper at3 tires on a 3/4 ton GMC the tire shop didn't have at the time any Toyo open country AT's I wish I'd of waited for the Toyo's . I seen the salesman a while back & he asked how I liked them my response wasn't what he was expecting I won't be buying any more Cooper tires for any 4wd's I own .
It's sad when you have to engage the 4wd to make it up a small hill even when your in a lower gear and not mashing the gas pedal to the floor, he told me I needed to add weight to the box of the pickup, I feel if the tires are any good I shouldn't have to.
