Hankook Dynapro HP2 (RA33) Reviews

Good on the road, pretty quiet but not the best, smooths out bumps very well. Have taken them into mud, gravel and frequenly trafficed sandy roads with no loss of traction, but all roads were relatively flat. Have these on 2 other cars. Subaru Forester, it is way better for comfort than the factory Bridgestone Duellers. Ford Escape ZH series, too early to tell. Have noticed that tyres on both my Escapes have M+S (mud and snow) whereas the ones on the Forester don't. Haven't taken the Forester off road with these tyres.

Fitted these tyres as an alternative to OEM Dunlop tyres, believing that there has to be an alternative to using OEM tyres. A friend recommended them to me, and I'm impressed. I tow a 21 ft boat regularly and they hold the road well. General driving they perform well, grip is good, but noticeably they have provided a couple of questionable understeer results in the wet. I put it down to greaseyty road surfaces, plus coming to end of life for such conditions. For a vehicle that is well over 2 tonne - that is whisper quiet - I cannot fault them for their performance, life and overall value for money. Only wish they come out in the new Dynapro HPX pattern - they look like the next step up. But unfortunately they don't. 

I had a pair of these fitted to my used 2016 Pajero after putting up with Government supplied tyres which were noisy hard rubbish.These were smooth and whisper quiet. Ive read a lot of reviews saying they are not good in the wet,rubbish!These tyres are great in the wet unfortunately it all comes back to poor drivers who expect big heavy cars to stick to anything in the wet,they don’t ,slow down.I have just organised to put a set on my 2019 Triton purchased new.After 65 k on dealer supplied tyres I dont need to spend lots of money on new tyres.These will do fine (buy 4 get 1 free sale) can’t wait.Thanks.

I have been driving nearly 150kms per day in the past 4 years and did a few long drives through WA and still going strong! My best set of tyres so far and I have bought Bridgestone and Yokohama before.

Fitted new to the car when I bought it (second hand) so was not expecting much and OK if uninspiring in the dry but truly terrifying in the wet. A Subaru has limpet handling thanks to its drive train and, to be fair, low power but I haven't needed to be this careful around a wet roundabouts or windy cold wet roads since I drove older front wheel drives with 3.5 V6s driving the front wheels. So bad, do not ruin a key feature of an Outback with this rubbish.

Slips a lot. Tyre rotation is high during pickup Scary on roundabout as it slide a lot Especially on wet weather.

in the dry these tyres are great, nice and quiet and grip well, however once it gets damp they are useless and borderline dangerous even from brand new. The car is far from a powerhouse but in the wet you have to be very gentle on the throttle or it just spins. Tread wear has been good although after 30,000km there is some quite noticeable cracking which is surprising. we're coming up due for a new set of tyres and I won't be going for these again. For the cost of these tyres I was expecting something a little better.

Full of cracks and wore out really quickly. Definitely switching them out for something better. I do find them fairly quiet, however they were on a range rover with 80k kms on it and it's full of dynamat.

Previously had Hankook RA33 on a 2003 Toyota Prado Grande. They were absolutely fabulous tyre, comfortable, quiet, positive steering response, great in the wet, and above all else provided excellent life. As my wife mostly drove the car during the week, she was more impressed with the tyres than I was over the replaced Dunlop tyres it was fitted with. Having the tyres rotated every 10,000 k’s certainly assisted getting excellent wear rate. We traded the vehicle in for current Lexus LX570, so we never got to wear them out despite 2 trips to QLD from Victoria. Highly recommend them, especially when Hankook offer an 80,000 km warranty on them. Excellent value for money.

In all aspects except 2 these tyres are "fair. Nothing special, nothing too bad. In the wet they are absolutely lethal - like driving on an ice rink. I have got rid of them (as has another colleague) as we were both just scared of them. For a while I had them on the rear only, which made wet weather drifting very easy and fun, but I quickly not killing somebody was more important. The "benefit" of this is that their tread wear is brilliant - I think they are made of stainless steel or something.

Poor treadwear, need to change tires due to frequent punctures and tire deformed, otherwise comfortable ride and quiet tires
