Did my homework, seems to have paid off – I drive a Nissan X-Trail medium SUV ( although it is registered officially as a wagon ) and needed to replace two tyres. Hankook had a buy 4 pay for 3 offer which did sway me to consider the brand. I have pretty much always just replaced like for like with tyres on my car, but I did want to see what else was available for my type of vehicle. … Read more
Having purchased the full set of four does provide a fresh perspective on the brand change. No problems with stopping in the wet, they were quieter on the freeway than my previous Continentals, and although I do not go off road, did go onto a very bumpy rural road in the rain with no noticeable slippage.
I am very happy with the change to Hankook, and Tyrepower staff were also super knowledgeable.
Disappointed – Tyres are 2016 models with still having good tread, I purchased in 2018. pressures are checked regularly. I just got a flat tyre and found all 4 tyres are badly cracked on side walls. Would not recommend these. Show details

Good all rounder – I have just finished with a set of Dynapro ATM 265/60/R18 114T Extra Load tyres and had really good life at 73,000 km with wheel alignment and rotation every 10k. No noise on or off road. These tyres finally failed doing the Gibb River Road and entry road to Bungle Bungles. Appears to be failure of the steel belts, bulging sections around the… Read more
outer circumference of the tread and badly out of balance. These roads though have been the most punishing I have driven, let tyres down to 27 psi hot but the corrugations and washouts in the road seem to have finally beaten them. Hard gravel roads end up with small chips and cracking in the tread regardless of pressure. On sand these tyres are unstoppable, very impressive and light gravel roads they have been fine. They also handled rock crawling pretty well but again they tend to chip and crack the rubber a little. Their structural strength on very rough roads leaves me question them only now they have failed, but they have been a very reliable, good value tyre for highway bitumen, gravel and sand. Towed for about 20K and pretty good in wet. I'm moving to a different brand now just because of the harsh roads I'm driving and see how they perform against these.

Hankook DynaPro ATMs. All Terrain tyres that do exactly that – Hankook DynaPro ATM (RF10), in size 265/60R18 114T. New tread depth, 10.5 mm. 35 PSI cold, standard weights. 42 PSI fully loaded (towing a caravan). Rotated every 7500 kms. Fitted to 2009 Mitsubishibi Pajero NT EXCEED, 5-door DiD automatic. (ABS, TCS, ESC). Standard car, but for DBA T2 front brake disc upgrade and Bendix Heavy Duty 4WD pads all… Read more
round. Tow hitch, Alloy bull bar. (Correctly maintained)...
In December 2013, I spent my own money to buy a set of Hankook ATM's for my Pajero NT. Still on there 7 years & 80,000 kms later. 4 mm + of tread left. Quiet, smooth and capable. Reliable tyres. The DynaPro ATMs have always gripped wet sealed roads very well - wet braking is amazingly good - the ABS or Stability Control almost never kicks in, even with a heavy trailer on. Still perfectly in balance after 80,000 kms (no rebalancing, ever), no nasty vibrations or weird treadwear. No cracks, deep cuts, bulges, or block shredding. Sidewall protection lugs work well. NEVER had a puncture, even after driving over some of the worst "roads" in Tasmania. Gravel roads are a breeze. Below freezing Tassie winter conditions, 45 cm deep snow in the mountains, no problem. Beach driving, ditto. Towing 2.5 tons, no sweat. Okay in mud, but use common sense: Bog holes would probably be unwise. BTW, my stock Pajero with the DynaPros kill my nephew's suped-up Hilux wearing 32" BFGs. He gets stuck, I don't. To be fair, he hasn't got traction control. I do.
The Hankook DynaPro ATM does exactly what an all terrain tyre should, and has not disappointed me once. I'll definately buy these things again next time. We have Hankooks on our 2 other cars as well.
Well done Hankook.
Extremely well priced and a surprisingly good competitor – For reference I have a Discovery 3 HSE with a supercharged brembo brake upgrade - this means I cant fit anything smaller than 18 inch wheels to my car. Now considering the size of my rims it rules out a LOT of the big go to all terrain tyre brands, there are a surprising amount which do not have tyres in my size. So it gets 5/5 for sizing… Read more
availability already.
The road noise is near nonexistent and it works great on the road both wet and dry, they handle almost like a road tyre which is quite impressive considering with some A/T tyres you have to sacrifice handling and noise on the road for more traction off road. As for off road performance I cannot fault them although I do not too as much offroading as most, it will be for the odd trip to a job site or camping etc. Ive found these to be a great in between for both applications with quite an aggressive looking tread.
I have to rate these very highly considering the price I payed - my local tyre guys has these priced at the lower end of the pricing spectrum, sitting just above the no brands like maxiclaw and I am fully confident they would have no issue competing with the big dogs like BFG or Maxxis.
The only thing I can fault on these is at least in my specification - 255/55/R19 does NOT come in a LT(light truck) specification which means it doesn't have a beefy sidewall or heavy duty load rating like a lot of A/T tyres. I never found LT specification completely necessary but that is worth noting if you are interested in these tyres - I believe other specifications can come with LT rating.
All in all a fantastic all-rounder sitting around the 40:60 off-road to on road ratio. Great for a weekend of fun but more than capable to get back to the regular Monday to Friday work runs.
All show, no performance – I decided to fit a set of 4 245/70R16 Hankook ATM's to my 2010 DMAX after they were highly recommended to me by JAX Tyres, biggest mistake ever. For the first 5000km or so they were great, no issues. After about 6000km I noticed excessive steering wheel shake down the motorway. Thinking that it was a simple alignment/balance issue I took it back… Read more
to JAX to have the service done, but nothing changed. At about 10,000km one of the rear tyres punctured and by the time I'd stopped and pulled up (straight after I noticed the tyre go down) the sidewall had bubbled out and the tyre was irreparable. Slightly disappointed, I put it down to bad luck and decided to replace the tyre with a new one, paying full price. You can imagine my frustration when this brand new tyre with only 5000km on it, now on the other rear side suffered a massive side wall gash about 4cm long. Again I returned the tyre to JAX and they insisted that it was due to a rocks on the road, despite the road being a well graded gravel road. I noted that both times this occurred, there was light snow cover on the road (Central West NSW area) so I put it down to the fact that they may not be great in extremely cold conditions and just bad luck, so I again payed the full price to replace the tyre. Fast forward 10,000km and you guessed it, another flat, this time on the other tyre and on a 30 degree day. Tyre was deemed irreparable due "being driven on flat for to long" even though once again I pulled up as soon as the I noticed the tyre was going down. At this point I gave up on the tyres and have decided to switch to another brand. Please note that the I have a small property on the outskirts of Oberon, NSW, so the only off-road driving I do is to get to this property, which is situated along a 4km long well graded gravel road. I always maintain tyre pressure between 22-28 on the gravel road, and other than that all my driving is on the highway, so I can only honestly put the failure of these tyres down to cheap materials and poor design. I contacted Hankook in regards to this issue, and they basically said "get stuffed" so that wasn't much help. I've never had this issue with the previous brand tyres I've had on the car (Coopers and B/F Goodrich) and can honestly say that I'll never be using Hankook again on any of my cars after this experience.

excellent – second set of dynapro good wet and dry grip good off road ,done gibb road central highway no puntures smooth quite ride ,done 110000kms and tyres going on camper trailer Show details
Very Happy with my Dynapro's – I have them on a PX Ranger which tows a heavy van. Have done about 40,000k so far and they are wearing very well. Should get at least 80,000k if the current wear is any indication. I have found them very good in both wet and dry conditions, good off road, although like all all terrain tyres reach their limits in heavy mud. Good in sand. They are… Read more
quiet on road with little difference to my other vehicles car tyres. They have done a complete lap of the continent plus another across and back towing 3 tonnes. The vast majority of their life has been with the van on the back. I would have another set without hesitation.
Hankook Dynapro ATM – I’ve owned many sets of hankook 4x4 types & mud configuration all different sizes atm I’m running a set of 265. 70 . 18 on my Pajero sports great Tyers do all I can ask from this type of tyre. Deep Mud holes can be a little tricky but all all terrain types are not the best in this situation. I’ve read many mixed reviews about hankook but I can… Read more
only say over my time in 4wd this brand has never let me down in all types of situations.not sure how others are having the problems they are stating just my opinion anyway. I highly recommend .

Great for the price. Will probably try something else next – Decent tyres! Especially for the money! At under $200 a piece (265/70/17) they are great value. They have a slight noise (whine) at about 40kph. Decent off road grip. Rocks etc have scarred the sidewalls a little but they were sharp rocks. Beach - Fantastic 15,000kms on them so far and hardly any signs of wear. Show details
Absolute rubbish – Was happy with these tyres when first purchased but now they are a death trap!! Incredibly slippery in the wet. Off the mark from the lights on a hill and I go nowhere but sideways, around roundabout loose steering control and braking... well you can guess that one. And all this while driving cautiously!! I've only had them for a year and half, and they have to go before an accident happens. Show details
Absolute rubbish – I bought a Navara 4WD two years ago with a brand new set of these on it. I've always known Hankook tyres to be lousy and this set simply verified that opinion. They seemed acceptable, although not the best, in the dry but I soon discovered that they are utterly dangerous in the wet, where I often lost traction whether braking, accelerating or… Read more
cornering. I've also had one blow out under normal road use while coming down the Black Spur in Vic (driving quite gently), which is a very dangerous bit of road to have anything go wrong on. I have tyre pressure and temperature monitors, so I know those factors were normal prior to the blowout. Another tyre has some peeling from the sidewall, which I've never seen before. Haven't really tested them properly off-road, so can't comment on that aspect. They're cheap, which is no doubt why they were fitted to a vehicle about to be sold, but if you have a similar vehicle to the Navara look elsewhere for tyres.

Very disappointed – Will never buy again 40,000 ks went to Jack’s because of vibration and have been told 2 tyres have tread separation and are dangerous not covered by warranty. Show details
Poor in wet conditions – Bought with car. Off-road pretty good . Very poor in wet conditions. Constant understeer at various pressures in the wet. Will not let my wife drive it in wet. Will upgrade ASAP Show details
Very Happy – I have done 73000K on these tyres, they are now four and half years old and still heaps of tread.I cant wear them out.Very good off road, spent a week on Fraser Island, never looked like getting stuck.Kreb Track and Bloomfield Track no worries, handled very well.But they are getting very noisy, so a new set goes on next week.Very quiet when new , but noisy now, they have to go.Great value for money.

Don’t blow your money – No road noise, nice and quiet but not good with a heavy load and too soft in sidewalls and tread. Unbelievable amount of repairs.cooper At3’s or ST MAXX instead. I had these on a PX Ranger, had my 1st puncture in under 1000km. Could not get a run from them at all and also the tread started to “chunk” out very quickly. I submitted a complaint but… Read more
didn’t even get a reply from hankook. After 30,000km and at least 20 punctures I got cooper ST MAXX, even though I was warned of dubious carcass construction. These tyres have done 45,000km over the same roads and worse than the ATM’s and I am yet to have a puncture. ATM’s May be ok for hiway only, don’t even consider going off road.
No good – Quiet on the road and very slippery in the wet Absolutely rubbish off road. Had to get pulled up every hill after just putting these on made me change them instantly Show details
Low noise and good grip – Replaced a combination of Nexen and Toyo car tyres with these on a Mazda Tribute. The Nexens were near new. These tyres are significantly quieter and much better on gravel. Show details
Great tyre – These tyres were the right price for me, cheaper than many competitors. They are great in the wet, dry and snow. They fair pretty well offroad, too. They are quiet for an all terrain and are wearing well. Show details
So far so good – Only got these on yesterday so i cant comment on wet weather but i'm mostly hre to comment on noise in my pajero verse the BF Goodrich K02's i had on previously. Huge difference in noise, massive improvement compared to the K02's. Pajeros have bugger all sound deadening so if you own a pajero just dont even consider K0's. These are close enough to a road tyre. Show details
Great on and off-road – I have had these tires for 5 months, I have been off-road with them more than 4 times where they really hold their own, quiet on road also, great in wet conditions on road and also great off-road in mud or rock. I'll definitely buy again. Show details

good product long lasting but not very attractive – bought a ute with these tyres on it and it has been a good ride, they perform well offroad in all conditions and very solid and dont slip on wet tar, only downside is they arnt the most agressive/attractive looking tyre Show details
285 75r16 on GU Patrol – I have just had the Dynapro A/Ts fitted as a replacement for some cheap brand M/Ts that came with the car when I bought it. The difference is amazing! Sure they are quieter, which is what you would expect but the big difference is the annoying vibration I was getting between 80-90kmh has disappeared completely. I had had the old M/Ts balanced but… Read more
I could not get rid of the vibration, now it drives like a new vehicle, so impressed. I will be taking the car up to Exmouth in 2 weeks time and the new tyres will get a work out on the beach and through Potshot gorge, so I will report back later with an update. For now though I am stoked. Oh, also the price $1000 for 4 including balancing and wheel alignment. Great deal from Bob Jane's.
Performing well – Been driving around with these AT's on my Pajero for 10k and so far I have nothing negative to say. I was worried about noise going from HT's but there is only minimal increase in noise between 80 and 100km/h. Once you reach highway speed you only notice the engine noise and not tyre noise. I also got the 4 for the price of 3 which was a deal I couldn't go past Show details
Good value tire – Done 40000 km and still have at least another 30000 in them. Great on road and moderate off road. Recently went on a rocky dirt road and lost a big chunk out of one tire which had to be replaced . Show details
Good allround tyre – Had them on my Pajero for 3 years. Good grip on road in wet or dry and very good offroad, great for towing. So far I have 70,000ks and there is still plenty left. Only complaint is they started singing at about 30,000ks which at times can get quite loud. Overall I am very happy with them and will buy again. Show details
Excellent tyre, low noise good grip – Put a set of 265 65 R18s on 2018 Everest 7 months ago to replace the factory pseudo ATs. I have about 10k on them now and these are excellent on road and off with excellent grip in the wet. I run them at 40 psi and there is very little roll in the corners and no road noise. I do about 80% on road including heaps of towing a 5m boat. Off road is… Read more
usually on rough gravel roads and unformed rutted tracks in the Barringtons and Snowy Mountains usually accessing fishing spots. I have had no issues at all. I chose the Hankooks because my daughter (yep you read rite) has Hankooks on her car and loves them and I liked the look of the tread pattern and the side wall. While most off roaders wouldn't give a rats they look great on alloy rims.
Good Tyre – Had Mt's loved them , doing more highway travel got set of AT's for the 100 (which is set up soft for a comfy ride 3" lift ) ok now with 18k on them the wear is very good on Road i run them hard 40+ found them excellent and easy to drive , wet or dry Bush/off road @ 40+ quite fine @ 30 or below they quite capable and work well and comfy … Read more
but do bag out a lot compared to the mud tyre so i question sidewall strength which i others reviews is a issue
but on road not pumped up hard they are very limited road barge is an understatement ( as an eg happily drive the muddies @ 100k with 20psi to get home ... AT's no 60/70k or spend 20min in the dark or rain pumping them back up
Me in a 105 series ok i rate as just a soft offroad tyre ,
would i buy them again , 50/50 may probably try something else MT or AT light truck for what i do ( have company care so not a daily drive )
Not happy will not buy ever again – To the durability it seems OK but between 80 and 110 km there's a vibration that was never there before until I got tyres fitted doesn't matter what I put in for pressure 36 to 41 tryed them all makes no difference I know they are cheap but for a reason I have 265/75/16 Show details
Outstanding tyre wet/dry and on-road/off-road – 265/65R17 - I reckon I have still got over 10,000km left in these things and I've already clocked up 65,000 in my 2016 Colorado. They have outstanding wet and dry performance on the bitumen, and off road they are great. Sand at Fraser Island, wet clay fire trails in the Blue Mountains and mud in the Snowy Mountains. I have never had an issue. When… Read more
I need to replace these tyres, I will not be paying over $300 for other brands for the same or maybe even less performance and longevity. Dynapro all the way.
Great tyre without the crazy prices – I decided to switch from my usual BF Goodrich to a cheaper tyre on my PK Ranger 4x4. The price was fantastic compared to other brands of similar quality. I have used them off-roading in sand, sharp rocks and mud and found them just as good as my previous tyres. Have treated them poorly but have held up to the abuse. No chips in sidewall at all.… Read more
Would recommend for anyone looking for a AT tyre but without the crazy price. They are quieter than my previous tyres on the motorway.
Great choice – I had these fitted to my Ranger on the recommendation of a friend [ NP 300 ] and have been more than happy with them, nice and quiet on road, handle great in the wet and dry, good off road performance at reduced pressures, am impressed with the wear rate although I do rotate every 10k km's and will more than likely replace them with the same when the time comes. Show details
Good But Not Perfect – These tyres are an all rounds precisions but i had to replace it one time because it failed on a long trip luckily i had one extra in the back so i would get this if your looking for durable tyres but not for mountain trips or going up north good. Show details
Great all rounder – I have always been one eyed BF Goodrich KO2 as I have had a brilliant run from them but our Pajero was doing mainly city k’s with odd bush trip but decided to try these and have done two big bush trips on them , wet and dry, have about 30% left and have done 60,000 ks so far, bit noisy if they scrub a side but at $250 a corner for 18”, fantastic tyre will buy again .
