Comfort Performance
Comfort Performance Rank
“Comfort” performance relates to the tire’s quietness, and smoothness. Better ratings will keep tire ‘roar’ or road-noise to a minimum. Great for luxury cars, or anybody looking for a quieter cabin.
With a Comfort Performance rating of 4.2 / 5, the Dynapro AT-M is ranked #19 among the 39 truck/suv off-road tires we’ve reviewed.
This rating implies the tire is louder than most on the road, and/or typical buyers of this tire were generally used to quieter and smoother tires. It’s likely Hankook was not focused on reduced road noise for the Dynapro AT-M.
Treadwear Performance
Treadwear Performance Rank
Treadwear performance is a measure of how well the tire matched up to customers’ expectations of how many miles they will last. Keep in mind, this rating can be influenced significantly by users giving it 1-star or 5-stars because expectations were too extreme. Maybe their last set of tires lasted 100,000 miles and they now think all tires will last that long (that’s extremely rare). Or perhaps their alignment was really off, causing them to wear out in only a few thousand miles.
The Dynapro AT-M received a Treadwear Performance rating of 4.3 / 5. This ranks it #13 among the 39 truck/suv off-road tires we’ve reviewed.
This rating is ‘middle-of-the-road’, this tire tends to last relatively as long as other truck/suv off-road tires. Without knowing one’s specific expectations, it’s likely that a typical buyer will be happy with the mileage, but not super impressed either.
UTQG Rating: What does 500 A B or 560 A B Mean?
“The UTQG Specification is also relevant to discuss here. This is a specification provided by the manufacturer after testing. The rating for this tire is 500 A B or 560 A B . There are three parts to this specification: treadwear grade, traction grade, and temperature grade (in that order).”
Treadwear Grade
The treadwear grade for this tire is 500. This treadwear grade is pretty average. It is neither very soft or very hard, and should last a respectable number of miles.
Traction Grade
The traction grade for this tire is ‘A’. This is a great rating, and implies the tire can handle high g-forces before starting to skid.
Temperature Grade
The temperature grade for this tire is ‘B’. This rating refers to how well the tire dissipates heat at high speeds. If the tire gets too hot at high speeds, it may come apart. Keep in mind, these speeds are very high, and any tire manufactured these days is capable of maintaining highway speeds up to 80mph.
This temperature grade is not as high as A, but still implies the tire will not come apart due to heat at speeds between 100 and 115mph, which is plenty.
Snow & Ice Performance
Snow/Ice Performance Rank
Snow and Ice performance is tested on a specifically designed track to simulate these environments. These ratings represent how confident drivers in these conditions felt on these tires.
The Dynapro AT-M received a Snow & Ice Performance rating of 3.6 / 5. This ranks it #31 among the 39 truck/suv off-road tires we’ve reviewed.
These tires did not perform very well in the snow and ice category. If you do see these conditions often, we recommend looking for a different tire. If you only occasionally see light snow, just be cautious on these tires when you encounter it.
Off-Road Performance
Off-Road Performance Rank
The off-road ratings represent how satisfied other drivers were in these conditions. These conditions could include anything from dirt/gravel roads to extreme offroading/bouldering. If you intend to use these in more extreme conditions, we always recommend checking individual reviews on TireRack.com for specific examples.
The Dynapro AT-M received an Off-Road Performance rating of 3.6 / 5. This ranks it #30 among the 39 truck/suv off-road tires we’ve reviewed.
These tires did not do very well compared to others off-road. While they may have been manufactured for those cases, they did not match up to other options. This may be okay if you only occasionally see dirt/gravel roads. Otherwise, we recommend picking another tire.
Treadlife Warranty
Hankook does offer a treadlife warranty for this tire. You should see a time-frame and mileage provided in the ratings on this page. Note that this is a ‘whichever-comes-first’ scenario. So if it’s listed as 3 years, 50K miles – they can be warrantied as long as they are less than 3 years old AND have less than 50K miles on them. Manufacturer’s generally determine if a tire is claim-able for warranty by measuring remaining tread depth. See the documentation for the tire for more information.
