Hankook Dynapro AT2
Community sentiment for the Hankook Dynapro AT2 is divided, with frequent distinctions drawn between standard OEM versions and aftermarket or 'Xtreme' models. While drivers appreciate the tire's quiet highway ride, decent fuel economy, and competitive pricing, many criticize the base factory version for poor wet and winter traction as well as lack of genuine off-road capability. In contrast, the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme variant receives widespread praise for improved snow performance, durability, and aggressive styling.

“I just got the extreme at2 and they are awesome and quiet. Did go on an easy/moderate off-road in Broken Bow, OK and they did outstanding!”

“I had the Hankook AT2 on my 2019 from the factory and they were way better than the Pirelli's that came on my '15 and my '22 F-150 FX4 trucks. They may not be a true AT tire, but they gave me 50,000 miles and functioned well in MN winters as on road tire and did well enough on the small number of off road excursions they took me on while hunting ( half mile to mile dirt trails and across various set-aside agricultural fields).”

“I had the Dynapro AT2’s on my Lightning and they’re ok. I’d say they’re excellent dry, ok wet and in mud, marginal in snow. When I was looking for new tires I wanted an All Terrain that was slightly more aggressive for off-road and Three-Peak snow rated. But, with the Lightning, they couldn’t be a heavy tire as it would hurt range. Ended up settling on the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme. Essentially this is the newer version of the AT2. I’ve got about 10,000 miles on them so far and I’ll say dry handling is a little worse than the old AT2 (probably due to the more aggressive lugs), wet handling is about the same, but mud and snow handling is noticeably improved. So all in all, I probably wouldn’t get the AT2 again but I would do the AT2 Xtreme again.”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
