    I dont mean to beat a dead horse but its actually MY TIME to get tires. One of my choices is still Dynapro ATM’s. I’m a little worried about the fact they only come in 10-ply. Will you guys tell me again how much you like them? grin
    I’m hoping to hear the ride is fine for a 10-ply tire. My other two choices are probably $2-300 more per set and I’m losing interest in spending more for tires with very few reviews. Thanks.

    I’m about 2500 miles into my Dynapro’s. So far I am pleased with the ride and seem to be fairly quite for the tread style.

    Honestly, I have not heard of anything negative about this tire.

    Looking forward to Ryans response to this. Tire weight is the leading cause of lost mileage. Tried to find out what they weight but its a Hankook secret. I dont care. You guys have convinced me.

    I’m on my second set of Cooper discoverer st/ maxx, they are a very good tire that I have been happy with, I was going to try the nitto ridge grappler, but could not get them in my size yet. These are on a crew cab, long box diesel f-350, hauling and towing. Still pretty good though, good luck with your choice.

    depending on the size,you can buy a hankook 8 ply tire,but,they are more expensive than the 10 ply.
    as far as ride quality, on my dakota 4×4 and grand cherokee it depends on what pressure I run them at and what load I am putting on them.

    for example,I haul about seven hundred pounds of tools with me all summer in my cherokee and run the pressures at around sixty pounds and have a good ride without sacrificing the sidewalls.

    when I take out all of my tools for the winter time and lose those seven hundred pounds of weight,I run them at 55 pounds of pressure and the ride is still great.
    I have yet to have any side wall problems doing it this way and I have done this for the last seven years or so of owning hankooks.

    your ride and wear may differ than mine depending on what you do with your vehicle.
    I have no problem getting 55 thousand miles out of my tires on the dakota or cherokee,well,except for this summer when I took out a side wall with a piece of steel this spring early.
    that stinks as it is all wheel drive and you cant replace just one tire on those.

    The Cooper ST Maxx is a very good traction, wearing ,and quiet on the highway. waytogo waytogo

    About 1500 miles into new set of Dynapro’s. Used to run Cooper AT3’s but from what I’ve seen/experienced so far the Dynapro’s blow them out of the water. VERY happy and you won’t be disappointed.

    Really? Either this didn’t used to be the case, or I didn’t know any different.

    I loved mine. I didn’t notice a mileage drop, but my Sequoia was a thirsty beast, so I may have just ignored it. They wore well for me, looked great, and had good traction. I was surprised how quiet they were for a fairly aggressive tire.

    I wish I could have taken them off my Sequoia when I traded it in and put them on the Tahoe that we bought! Unless something better piques my interest, I’ll put a set on the Tahoe when it’s time.

    Go for it! waytogo waytogo

    To the users of the Hankook Dyna-pro ATM. Generally it seems most comments speak of the good traction on ice and snow. How are they in mud? The reason for my question is that I have two pickups. My old 3/4 ton super duty has Cooper AT 3’s. When they were new, they performed poorly in the mud. However as far as performance in ice and snow they were and have been great. I’m probably 10,000 miles out in replacing tires on my F-150. So I’m always interested in seeing reviews on tires.
    Thanks.

    I am on my second set of Dynapros on my F150. I have 176,000 miles on it and about 50,000 miles on this set of tires. They wear like iron, ride great and are good on ice/snow and mud. I spent the first week of October in Canada with rain every day. Fields were a complete muddy, greasy mess. I couldn’t have been happier with the performance of my tires…even pulling a large trailer full of decoys and gear in the Manitoba slime. I have yet to hear anyone that made the switch to Dynapro complaint about them.

    Thanks for stearing me straight guys. Two weeks into my Dyna Pro’s and I love them. They were outstanding this weekend in the snow. Still messing with air pressure. 40 feels good right now. Thinking about trying lower and see how it goes. At least in the winter.

    Tire companies recommend running at least 50 lbs of pressure in a 10 ply tire. Saying that I have never seen sidewall damage unless the tires were overloaded and under inflated.

    Interesting. I tried 45.
