“I have a set of 275/60R20 on my dodge work truck. Coming up on 35k. Oilfield roads. These tires are ride smooth and are quiet. They have done well in the snow and mud for me. I will purchase a set of these for my own personal truck once needed. These are great tires.”

“New shoes on my ‘23 XSE Wanted to stick with black rims but saw these on an older gen and loved the look. Wrapped in 245/65R17 Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme‘s. Also replaced the OEM springs with Eibach lift springs for a bit more ride height.”

Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
The community expresses overwhelmingly positive feedback for the Cooper Discoverer A/T3, praising its strong performance on the highway, good wet and snow traction, and smooth, relatively quiet ride quality. Many users note that the tires wear well over tens of thousands of miles, though some mention that they can get slightly louder as they age and tend to pack up in deep mud. Overall, users consider them to be reliable, high-value all-terrain tires suitable for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading.
“Put a set on a day after I purchased my truck. Have about 8500 miles on them and no complaints whatsoever. Been on a 3000 trip with them not towing and a 2400 mile trip towing a 8K travel trailer. No problems on either trip. I'll get another set when these wear out, hopefully many miles down the road. No sign of wear yet!”
“I have put 18k miles on the discoverer AT/3's on my F150 since last November and have been impressed with them so far. The tread seems to be wearing well, and I haven't noticed any more road noise than the BF Goodrich rugged trail T/As that I had on it before, and the ride quality has also been good compared to other tires. I haven't used them off road much but they did well in snow last winter, and have got good traction on wet pavement. Overall, I'd definitely say their good tires for the money, with their performance and the fact that they come with a 55,000 mile warranty.”
“Just a minor point... The tire in the picture is actually the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, not a Discoverer A/T3. They're different models, and Cooper does a really poor job IMO differentiating between them. I had Cooper Discoverer A/T3's E range on my 2nd Gen Tundra and LOVED them. That truck is gone, and now my Taco has Disco A/T3's and I'm finding them every bit as transformative.”

Community sentiment toward the Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme is largely positive, with owners frequently praising its aggressive appearance and confident performance in snow and wet conditions. Drivers also appreciate its comfortable ride quality compared to competing all-terrain tires and its strong 70,000-mile warranty. While noted as being slightly pricey and showing minor trade-offs in dry handling due to aggressive lugs, it is widely favored as an upgrade over older all-terrain models.
“new shoes. hankook dynapro at2 xtreme”
“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.”

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.
