As some might know, I too am looking at changing from my OEM Goodyear Wrangler HP tires. I've thought about getting the Cooper Zeon LTZs, but many of my family members have told me to check local before purchasing off the internet. One store near us has Hankooks. I believe that they would also give me some money for my old tires. I say this because my old truck was a little Toyota. The tires were rather bald, and they gave me $10 a piece, rather than charging me for disposal. This purchase might be only because the tires were purchased through them.
Some of the tires that I was looking at were the Hankook Dyanpro MT RT03. Before posting anything, I read some reviews over these tires. Almost all of these were excellent reviews. Many people posting 30,000 miles+, and a few with over 50,000+. I'd like some tires that look kinda aggressive. The only thing I'd like is some sort of Road Hazard, how Discount Tire offers, but I don't do real off-roading, so I don't plan upon having a blow-out. So if I could get around $50 a tire for my old tires, that would be enough to replace the blown out tire. Now a problem also, is that this is more of a farmer company, it's the local grain elevator company. The tires on my old truck, they just had four of them. So in a 20" rim, it might be a little hard for me to find the tires from there, and they are exactly ecstatic about ordering in tires for just one person, unless if they order several that many people use.
So does anyone have any incite over these tires? What would you think as the best option overall?

I'm pretty sure I have the exact tires you're thinking of purchasing. Not sure of the RT03 part, but Hankook Dynapro Mt's all the same. I haven't had them too long, have maybe 1200 miles on them, but so far have no complaints whatsoever. We had more snow then usual this year in Wa and they handled great in the snow. They look aggressive but not so much that they're crazy loud going down the highway. Anyways, I'm happy with them, but shop around, I got a fairly decent price from Schwab on them. Not sure if this helped or not, just sharing my $.02!

 

Oh, I forgot to put the link up in that post.

Those are the tires that I'm talking about.
They look nice, and if they have good wear and traction, I wouldn't mind them. Some of the reviews said that they are also for the kind of tire I'm wanting.

 

I looked at the link and those are the same tires I have. Like I said, I don't have many miles on them but I'm happy with them so far!

 

Dude you just need to bite the bullet and buy some damn tires...really.

 

My 04 f-150 had p 235 7o 17 hankook dynapros, crap crap, really left a bad impression in my mind with any tire with a hankook name.


I'm leaning towards Yokohama A/TS or Nitto Dura Graplers as replacement's for my 06 2500 Ram.

 

Why? Bad tread life? Uneven wear?

 

i havnt had any personally but i do know people around my house that have them and they like them with no complaints. Im gonna look at a set of them in 35's and all myself.

 

Ford went ultra cheap, the Dynapros on the ford were 2 ply passenger car tires, Hankook really should have put a better tire on the F-150s no matter what Ford asked for, You can't ever compare a P rated tire to a LT rated tire, but none the less, booth Hankook and Ford did not all inspire me.

Max psi was 35, on a truck !!!

 

I'm trying to, but I just don't want to screw myself over on tires, then have to replace them in several years. I'm also the kind that I like to lay my options down on the table. I never make that "impulse buy." I sit down and think about, and different ways to work it out. Plus with my work hours and the other store's work hours, it just hasn't worked out yet to run down there.
