Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

About the Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33
One of the standout features of the Dynapro HP2 RA33 is its use of a silica-based tread compound, which helps to improve grip in wet conditions and reduce rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency. The tire also has wide circumferential grooves that help to channel water away from the contact patch, further improving its wet weather performance.
2017 ADAC SUV Summer Tire Test Results
The Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33 received mixed results in the 2017 ADAC SUV Summer tire Test. It ranked 11th out of 15 tires tested, with a particularly strong showing in the categories of inside noise level (1st out of 15) and rolling resistance (3rd out of 15). However, its performance was less impressive in other categories, such as dry and wet braking and handling, where it ranked in the middle of the pack.
Despite its mixed results, the Dynapro HP2 RA33 did fare well in some key areas, such as wear (3rd out of 15) and straight aquaplaning (8th out of 15). This suggests that it may be a good choice for drivers who prioritize long tire life and good performance in wet conditions.
Overall, the Dynapro HP2 RA33 appears to be a decent all-season tire that performs well in some areas, but may not be the top choice in others.
Pros and Cons
Some potential pros of the Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33 include:
- Relatively low fuel consumption: The tire's silica-based tread compound helps to reduce rolling resistance, which can result in better fuel efficiency.
- Low road noise: The tire's tread blocks are optimized to reduce road noise, making for a quieter ride.
Some potential cons of the Dynapro HP2 RA33 include:
- Low performance on wet roads: The tire received mixed results in the wet handling and braking categories of the 2017 ADAC SUV Summer tire Test, ranking in the middle of the pack. This suggests that it may not be the best choice for drivers who prioritize wet road performance.
It's worth noting that the overall performance of a tire will depend on a variety of factors, including the vehicle it is used on and the driving conditions. As such, it's important to carefully consider your specific needs and driving habits before selecting a tire.
