Proxes RA1
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Dynapro AT2
Pros
- Comfortable ride quality on asphalt compared to standard summer or previous all-terrain models
- Good traction and control in dry and wet weather conditions, including dependable trailer towing
- Favorable fuel economy (MPGs) and low road noise for many users when new
Cons
- Poor performance and lack of secure handling in snow, ice, and slush at highway speeds
- Develops significant road noise or drumming as the tread wears down
- Concerns regarding casing durability, including reports of premature cracking and vulnerability to gravel punctures
Tire B Proxes RA1
Pros
- Exceptional dry grip that remains consistent even as the tread wears down.
- Superior tire life compared to many other dedicated track-focused compounds.
- Predictable breakaway characteristics that provide driver confidence at the limit.
Cons
- Performance can become 'greasy' if the tire is overdriven or overheated during long sessions.
- Requires proper heat cycling and break-in procedures to achieve optimal performance.
- Sensitive to alignment settings, which can lead to accelerated or uneven wear if not managed.

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.

“The stock Dynapro AT2 tires are awful in the rain We've had our first real rain since spring today here in the PNW, and I've gotta say these stock Hankook tires are the worst tires I've ever driven in the rain. Every single time I turned around a corner, it's a one tire fire on the inside rear. I've driven in the rain here my whole life, in cars with far more power than these Frontiers, and I've never once had the TC light kick on unintentionally when it's raining out. I'm not even flooring it, I baby the hell out of this truck! I looked it up online and looks like I'm not the only one who's noticed this. I can't imagine the performance in the snow is any good if it can hardly handle some rain. As much as I hate to waste a set of new tires, I just can not wait to upgrade to something better. Noodling around the neighborhood at 20mph spinning up the rears is not something I'd like to keep doing. Read more”

“I replaced my BFGoodrich MT T/A tires on my Wrangler with Hankook AT2 Extreme's, and what a difference. I will say I was consistently getting 50k+ miles out of my MT T/A, doing a 5 tire rotation. I'm 8,000 miles in on the AT2's, and there is zero sign of wear. I do have a bit of wobble in my steering wheel now due to the tires needing a balance and rotation, but other than that, I have been very impressed. My wife's mind was blown that our jeep was so much quieter, and we could have a conversation at highway speed without having to yell over the tire noise. These things are practically silent. The off-road performance is greatly improved. Where the MT's would lose traction on mountain trails, the AT2's keep their grip and keep me moving.”

“Swapped out my tires 2026 ranger fx4 So last week I installed some Sailun Terramax RT tires that ride like absolute dog shit ! I learned my lesson. And will never order cheaper tires again , I decided to go with Hankook dynapro at2 extreme this time around and I love them , yes much less agressive but a better looking tire than the Goodyear territory at that came stock with the truck !”

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.
