Tire A
Mixed
Hankook Dynapro AT2
Community sentiment regarding the Hankook Dynapro AT2 line is divided, heavily dependent on whether users evaluate the OEM factory tire or the retail/Xtreme version. The standard OEM AT2 receives notable criticism for lacking true all-terrain capability, poor wet/winter grip, and premature wear, while highway comfort and quietness are praised. In contrast, the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme variant receives widespread praise for strong snow traction, improved wet performance, durability, and quiet road manners.

“Hankook AT2 Xtreme Any experience with them? Hankook is on sale at the moment. 70K km treadwear warranty.. :) I had AT2 few years ago and they were OK. Also, they were very quiet. Thinking about non-LT for softer ride..”

“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).”

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.
