In 3 years I've gone through 3 sets of tires. My first set was a set of 37x12.5/17 BFGs, not to talk trash about BFG but the tires didn't last but more than 5k miles before I had to replace them. So I replaced the BFGs with my first set of 35x13.5/18 Toyos Open Country MT which I was very pleased with. I beat the crap out of them but at about 7k and still with plenty of thread, I replaced them with a set of 38x13.5/18 Toyos Open Country MT due to my upgrading to an 8" lift. Once again I also beat the crap out of them and at about 8k the tires were pretty much worn out that I had to replace them with my fourth set.

When I was running the 38x13.5/18 I did noticed the tires were a tid heavy. So I made the decision to down size to a set of 37x12.5/18 Toyos Open Country MT but Toyo did not carry such tire size at the time cause they were on back order and so was Nitto. But I did find Hankook carried a DYNAPRO MT RT03 : 37X12.50R18, so I decided to give them a try. Well, last week I came back from my second off road trip and I must confess, so far I'm very impressed with them. Comparing them to the Toyos I did notice that the Toyos had visible gashes, slashes and pieces of thread missing on my first off road trip. As I said B4 this is my second off road trip with the HanKook and I can't find 1 single gash or slash on them. A couple of the boys from this forum accompanied me on this last trip so they can attest to how much I truly abuse my tires.

Here it is with the 37x12.5/17 BFG



Here it is with the 35x13.5/18 Toyos Open Country MT



Here it is with the 38x13.5/18 Toyos Open Country MT



And this is what they looked like aft 8k miles of abuse




Now They are replaced with the impressive HandKook 37x12.5/18 MT










On this video is the truck with the 35x13.5/18 Toyos but what I would like to point out is the constant abuse my tires go through.

@ about 0:24-0:28 you can hear and/or see those tires grinding on the rocks.

Thanks for the update, I was curious as to what you would have to say about them.

"I wanna see that Chrysler do that......you see that, thats a $#%%##*&% FORD." ....... I LOVE it.

 

I have said it a bunch of times on here, I think the Dynapro RT03 were the best tires I ever had....I, of course, did not put a 16th of the abuse on them that OGTerror has but I had them on my old truck for right around 60k miles and they were great all the way to the end.

 

that is a awesome video! Show`em how its done man

 

Yeah at the end of the video he goes "My Chrysler wouldn't do that in a million years." By the way, he did attempt to climb it with his Chrysler but he wasn't successful, that's why he placed his bet of a hundred bucks that I couldn't do it either.

Here is that hill, it is a tough hill to climb but not for a jeep right? Wrong!

Here is one of the comments on this video:

I've never considers hankooks until I seen their price was more competitive today, considering I wont be bashing them like OG does.
