Our Analysis

Reviews say the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 is one of the best off-road tires, although it is more expensive than the top-rated Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar (*Est. $195). The Dynapro MT RT03 excels on rocks and mud, and it satisfies experts with its fairly quiet street ride, although we found few owner reviews about its on-road performance.

Owner reviews do say that the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 performs acceptably on sand, 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. $175) 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. Four Wheeler pits the Dynapro MT RT03 against nine other mud tires in a head-to-head mud test, while Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road magazine and Off-Road.com test the tire in varied off-road terrain as well as on pavement. More than 100 owners report their experiences with this tire at Offroaders.com.

1. Four Wheeler

The surprise winner of this 10-tire shootout is the Hankook Dynapro MT. Editors didn't expect its fairly close, basic tread pattern to perform well, but it "absolutely schooled" the other tires in the test on muddy, rutted slopes, and it delivers a smooth highway ride.

2. Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road Details/Subscribe

Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road's detailed, single-product review tests the Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 on rock and mud 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.
