Upgraded tyres from Dunlop AT22 to Hankook dynapro RF10 ATM

[BlokeInOz]

A lot of City and HWY, Over to the Hunting lodge near Thredbo every few months. (2100k round trip). Heaps of day to day in city stuff (avg 180-300 a day). About 15% of the 60K kms is off road, Paddocks, Shire roads, Dirt, and quite a bit of sand work. I tow a racecar on trailer a lot (2-3 times a month) and this can be anywhere from Adelaide to Tassie, Bathurst, High Country, etc. Weight about 1.8-2 tonne all up. Vehicle has Bar, Winch, Batts, and tools. I've had a brilliant run with them, one puncture (Screw on a job site), and no other issues, I rotate every 5k and wheel align every 20 as we have a 4 wheel aligner in our shed.
I've not heard of any issues with delam or otherwise.

The Hankooks are fine off road, certainly not a heavy All terrain, or Mud tyre, but have done ok. In sand I find them better than the Mickey Thompson MTZ play tyres I have, and don't change them when we take the Buggies and bikes to the Dunes nowadays.

We also have a set of Hankook on the 2018 Ranger that are going ok so far too (20K on them).

thanks for the info. I've done some more digging around and there certainly seems a lot more positive posts than negative.

Cheers

Piggy what type of driving you doin, any off road? that some tread life. do you tow anything with any weight?

I'm a little perplexed at the moment, in this thread they are the best things since sliced bread, but you read other places and some people are having a hell-ov-a-time with'em.
Seen stuff like - out of round, tread separation, not good tread life, too hard, mediocre off road.

turtlewa Although I'm not ready yet, what's your opinion of off road with different types of off road driving, very interested.

appreciate any other off road type driving descriptions

Cheers

50,000kms on my rf10 265/65/17 still lots of life left to go great tyre offroad and on
can never understand why people spend over $300 on a tyre these are great value

Just clicked over 60,000 kms on them and still looks around half tread left.

Just measured it up. Original tread depth 12.3 mm. after 60k kms 8.2 mm left So just on 1/3 worn. .. Be interesting to see how the rest of it lasts.. If it keeps going as is, it should see around 150 k kms! (Anything close to 100k km I'll be happy.).. I rotate every 5,000..

one month in and i am in love. quiet. good economy and awaiting some ruts!

Hi agsryd, did you get the P rating or LT, and for interest sake what size. My vehicle came with Scorpion AT's that are still quite good so will be next year when I replace. Will be interesting to get some more feedback once you hit the trails and anything else you do.

Cheers

Cheers - I'll have to have a look at some in the flesh.

I've had the Hankook Dynapro all terrains for three and a half years now. Very capable tyre on and off road. Also fantastic in the wet. You'll love them

6.7% increase in circumference isn't a huge difference. It's a common tyre to run on the 150. Jump on the Aussie 4WD Prado 150 Facebook page and HEAPS of people are running them.
Only scrubbing at the moment is the fronts on the mudguards - minor scrubbing when at full lock - which I'll be able to fix quite easily.
Gearing haven't noticed any real difference - haven't run them in low range yet
17x8 rims on a 0 offset

Fuel increase is minimal - everyone forgets to correct their calculations for the increase in travel per rotation so they think they're using a fair bit more fuel, when in reality they're not. I.e. whatever your odometer says you've actually travelled 6.7% further.

Thanks for the info and pointer to the FB page. don't do much general FB stuff - but do like looking at stuff that posted in groups.
Cheers

Wow, that is quite a large difference in tyre size. can I ask a few questions, as I am looking at this myself, but not so large. live in SA so rules are different - calculations below

How does it drive?
Any touching of body during articulation and turning-
front?
rear?
Gearing and low range -
noticeable difference?
What rims are you running-
Width?
offset?

thanks in advance

I would hav3 thought that at a fixed speed a larger diametre tyre your reduce the engine rpm given the tyres bigger circumference?

I noticed my speedo was more accurAte with a larger diametre tyre although th3 downside was th3 vehicle lost some torque

[xlr8_87]

That would really mess with the gearing. Just beware that it is probably illegal under ADRs if you get pulled over, or if you have a crash it will void your insurance.

It's only a 2" diameter change from standard. It's absolutely fine and heaps of people run that size tyre on 150's. Entirely depends what state you're in as to whether it's legal or not. In VIC the only guideline is that the combined suspension and tyre lift is no more than 75mm. So a 2" lift gives you 50mm of height lift. A 2" larger diameter tyre gives you 25mm of lift meaning 75mm overall.

Gearing change is negligible, I haven't noticed it since changing. Might be an extra 100-200rpm @ 100kmh.

Speedo is now bang on correct, whereas it used to be 105kmh on the speedo meant I was doing 100kmh
