Default Anyone heard of Hankook tires?

Theres 35 inch tires, all terrain, going for 180$ each. And there isnt a sale, thats there price, which I didnt think was too bad considering how big they are. My buddie is looking for 35's, but ive never heard of this brand before, any opinions out there?

I don't know anything about their LT tires, but they make good tires for big trucks. I have never run them on my 18 wheeler, but dad has had 3 sets on his 10 wheeler fuel oil truck and never had a problem with them. They are a good company, so I would have no fear of running their LT tires.

I've been looking into thier mud terrain tire and from what I've gathered it sits on top of the mid-grade tire selection and shouldn't be counted out. I don't know about the all terrain but whats being said about the mud terrain is thats its a good "weekend warrior" tire while allowing for decent streetability but is by no means an interco, bfg, or goodyear etc.

don't know much about them for trucks but I had them on a dodge stealth I had they were 225/40/18's though. Good tires for the money...lasted quite a while.

I have the hankook dynapro a/t on my truck. Only had them for about 1000 miles so far. One of my tires was slashed so i went around looking for a new set cause it was about that time anyways. I went to 4 places and the hankook was among the few suggestions at 3 of them. Everyone i talked to about them said they wear very well and are a great tire for the money.

It's a cheap tire that town fair tire offers, decent for a mud bug, but don't know about a daily driver..Spend the little extra and get something good like the goodyear mtr or bf mud terrains..

These are what I hav eon mine right now... They are a very tough wearing tire. I have over 35,000 miles on them and over half the tread is still there.
They do tend to whine a little, but not near as bad as some of the others I have looked at.
those are Goodyear Super Sports Radial HT 30X950
EDIT: They are kinda bad about throwing rocks and debris for the first 15,000 miles or so. (Which really makes for pissed off tailgaters. )

You get those at Half Price Books? That's where I've seen that sticker before.
