Hankook Dynapro M/T RT03

So I just got a set of 32x11.50r15's and came from having 31x10.50r15 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors and I love the hankooks. I am one to do a serious amount of research before I go out and spend some bucks on a long term investment and I can truely say that this has paid off. They are fairly quiet (for a mud tire) and I drive them on the highway about 25 miles a day and with about 3k miles on them so far I have seen great wear at 38 psi on my 94 runner. As for offroad capability, I took them out to Cleghorn Ridge (near Lake Arrowhead in Socal) and it was snowing at about 5000 feet. At the trail head I aired down to 20 psi and started out. About 5 miles up, I got into some light snow and mush. I graduated from 2 wheel to 4hi and kept going with no issues. After a mile or two more it was pretty deep. I was passing several trucks up that were getting stuck. I got to one point where i was in 4lo and was spinning (turning up on to a bluff off the trail) and after a couple seconds of the tires cleaning and grabbing I pulled right up and parked. I was very impressed of what the tires can handle and cant wait to try them once I get a locker. They get 5 stars from me!

No, I was just planning on taking a friend for a moderate trail ride and made a wrong turn on to a hardcore trail and couldn't turn around. It got my adrenaline pumping but it was fun. Got stuck about 4 times and realized how important recovery gear is. I had a case in my car but WATER is #1. It can get hot out there and high elevation doesn't help!

Cleghorn... Hardcore? It's barely a 2 out of 5. The hard bypasses (which are closed now) are maybe a 2.5 out of 5. Just saying.

I watched a prius wheel cleghorn. No joke.
