10 questions from our users
Alvinasked
This is a general question and comment, so feedback will be greatly appreciated...
Tyre pressure!
Before leaving the tyre fitters with the Hankook Dynapro MT's on, I asked what pressure should they run at.
The answer was... 'don't go below 55psi!'
That surprised me as all my tyres have always been around the 40psi mark.
His explanation was... 'it's a light truck tyre and any lower psi (at speed) will do irreversible damage to the carcass. They are meant to run at a higher pressure!'...
Sure enough, I emailed Hankook to double check and their answer was... 'they should/best run (especially carrying weight) at 80% of max pressure (which is 80psi).
That makes the recommended pressure to be around 64psi!
So, I run mine from 55psi up to 60psi, depending on weight carried. I've now done over 54,000ks. They still run well, the wear well and no signs of any deterioration on sidewalls, etc.
The only downside is that I'm relentlessly mocked at work by mean people who thing I'm weird for enjoying running on solid rubber that shakes the teeth out of their sockets! (;->
But... I've got very broad shoulder and know that my Hankooks actually handle very well on the road and are very acceptable in the bush.
So, is that information useful to anyone and does someone have any comments to add to the tyre pressure info, as I'm always keen to learn more here?

Is hankook rt3 MT indonesian tyre good for the use on the roads too? And what about its quality ?
1 answer
Quality is great. If you worry about road noise thrn this tyre is not for you. More suited to off-road conditions. But in saying that the road noise does not bother me.

Can I run 265/75-16 on my rg Colorado without any rubbing issues?
1 answer
Gaz,
Depends on what is configured on your vehicle. If the increase is within the ADR/Road Rules then you should be fine but if you have a bull bar or winch etc then the weight will reduce your scope for movement or tyre sizing. I had a 2 inch lift minimum on mine. One tyre shop said no to the tyre increase, ARB said yes as the rep had an identical set up to mine and had the larger tyres on it. I can only suggest you talk to the blokes living the dream as a job and that will head you in the right direction. They will also be able to see your unit and tell you straight up.

Will they fit my 2012 y61 gu st patrol wagon?
1 answer
These tyres are on the old scale 31.6 inches.
They will fit without rubbing pretty much anything ranger size up.
The last number is rim size 16 inch.
If the rim is a different size you can get the same size tyre in a different number e.g. 265/70-17.
Hope this makes sense to you. Tyre dealer can help you further.
Finally they will fit your patrol and this size wont kill the power.

Are these tyres good in wet conditions?
3 answers
Cant say I've had any problems with them in the wet, mind you our annual RF is only 300mm in Central Otago. Boggy creek crossings are no problem and the Hankooks have good side lugs for additional grip in soft dirt which helps. Havent used them in sandy conditions.
on the landcruiser they have been really good in the wet.
They do flick up rocks a bit when they are new.
I have 50000km on mine now really happy
I would agree with BOTH OF THE ABOVE COMMENTS ! BUT PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT, THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT LIVING UP HERE IN NTH QUENSLAND, (WE CAN RECEIVE 300MM IN 1 DAY DURING OUR WET SEASON!! THEY DO Have a terrific grip in wet/slippery conditions & SAND doesn't seem to hazzle them at all. The good size side lugs add the extra grip needed at times.These are fitted to a Toyota Troop-carrier which usually tows a 3,400 Kg Caravan.Therefore both grip & stability are extremely important to us! Buy the Best; STAY SAFE!

Purso Purnellasked
Has anyone compare the comforser tyre to the hankook?
1 answer
I don't have an answer for that, as I haven't heard of them myself. Research and use is what made me buy these tyres. I am now living in Alaska and will still stand by the most rugged and versatile tyre I know until I am proven wrong. They are the most effective all around tyre I've ever used in sand, snow, mud, rocks, mountains, and trails. They have lasted over 80,000KL on my jeep with monthly rotations. I just can't find an MT tyre that will last that long and run quieter than an A/T tyre. Use your better judgment, don't take my word for it. Read owners reviews. All I can say is they are the best I have found!!
