Hankook Dynapro MT RT03

*Est. $190

Reviewed February 2010
Hankook DynaPro MT RT03

pros
  • Great on rocky terrain
  • Fairly quiet and smooth-riding on pavement
  • Good off-road performance
  • Optional studs for outer lugs
cons
  • Mixed wet traction and treadwear reviews
  • No treadwear warranty
  • More expensive than better-rated tires

Reviews say the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 is a solid off-road tire, although it is more expensive than the better-reviewed Firestone Destination M/T (*Est. $175). The Dynapro MT RT03 makes some compromises to perform well both on and off the pavement, so its off-road performance is ranked in the middle of the pack.

Reviews say it delivers a fairly smooth, quiet ride on paved surfaces, excels on rocky terrain and performs acceptably on sand, mud, snow and ice. (Optional studs improve traction.) There's no treadwear warranty. If off-road driving is not your main priority, reviews say the Pirelli Scorpion ATR (*Est. $155) gives the best all-around performance on pavement, dirt and gravel, and it carries a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty.

We found three detailed reviews of the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 at websites devoted to off-roading. Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road magazine, Four Wheeler magazine and Off-road.com test the tire in varied off-road terrain as well as on pavement. More than 30 owners report their experiences with this tire at Offroaders.com.

1. Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road

Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road's detailed single-product review tests the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 on rock and mud off-road as well as dry pavement, where it generates a definite hum but handles well overall. Reviewer Jerrod Jones only speculates about poor braking on wet pavement and concludes the tire is a good all-around choice for most drivers.

3. Off-Road.com

Off-Road.com's detailed review includes photos of the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 in action. Reviewer Rob Sutter finds excellent traction on sand and dirt, acceptable grip on slick rock, a smooth and predictable ride on the highway -- and little treadwear after 7,000 miles. No testing is performed on snow or ice.
