Hankook Dynapro ATM tires

[Steve_]

I bought a '22 Ranger Lariat FX4 about a month ago with the original Hankook tires. The tires have 42K km (26K mi) They don't "feel" like great tires, especially off road and in snow (I'll get proper winter tires next year). Do they appear to be wearing a normal rate? It seems like they're OK in the middle but around the sides they look to me like they're wearing quickly.

If I decide to replace them, any suggestions for a capable off road tire? I want to be able to pull my trailer down logging roads that can be a bit sketchy.

Those look pretty good to me. My Hankooks were way more worn on the edges than that at 32k miles. Also, they had much less tread than those.

What pressure are you running?

Those look normal. As you mentioned these are more on the comfort side of things. More looks than ability. Alot of good options in the OEM size or even a bit taller 265/70/17 vs 65.

Those have worn much better than mine, which have about 25k miles on them. I am replacing mine soon. I'll go with Wildpeak AT4W or Cooper Road and Trail, still debating.

As stated, they are soft tires, for a comfortable ride (and low MPG, kms/100). Most any other A/T tire is an upgrade.

33 according to the sensor.

I had Cooper Rugged Treks for a summer. They were a great off road tire. Better than t co he average AT in mud… but they didn’t wear very well and ended up pretty choppy.

These trucks wear tires out on the inside on the front tires even with a perfect alignment.

They checked my alignment at the shop I bought the coopers at and I got a new set of Cooper AT3 LT’s.

my dad has a Ranger and he just went through the same thing with an in spec alignment.

My Dynapro LT"s have a little over 17k on them and I'm not sure if they'll ever wear out. They came with the truck and I don't tow so I'm leaning towards replacing them with something that will give a softer ride. Life's too short to not get what you want!

Those tires have plenty of tread, but are wearing on the outside, so they are under-inflated. What does the door jamb say the air pressure should be?

All rangers are 30 PSI….

He said he’s running 33…

those Dynapro’s are not as deep on the outside as they are in the middle.. so when the tires wear down a bit they appear to have less tread than the middle which they actually do…

They do this for stabilization of the outer tread blocks to prevent abnormal wear because of cornering. This is why almost every factory truck tires has a solid outer tread rib. Like the Bridgstone Dueler that comes on other Rangers.

I have noticed the same with regard to front inner tire wear.

Mine came with LT265/65 R17 and the door sticker says to run them at 38 psi, which I do. I am actually pretty happy with them. I get good mileage, they are not too noisy, they work well in the snow and are wearing evenly.

Which model do you have?

Which model do you have?

They are Hankook Dynapro ATM's, just the LT version rather than the P version. My spare is the P version.

I meant your truck.
You must have the Tremor package.
