Hankook expands size range of Dynapro AT2 Xtreme

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Hankook Tire America Corp. is expanding the range of Dynapro AT2 Xtreme sizes by 43 SKUs, expanding to 75 the number of sizes of the on-/off-road terrain tire.

The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme range now cover 80 percent the all-terrain market, including major light truck sizes 275/60R20, 275/65R18, LT275/70R18, as well as popular floatation sizes such as 35X12.50R20, 35X12.50R17.

"We aim to be at the forefront of growth in the SUV and light truck [tire] market, and the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme is a prime example," JJ Park, vice president of marketing, Hankook Tire America, said, noting that the AT2 Xtreme is Hankook's most popular pickup truck tire.

A redesigned version of the tire debuted last fall with a more aggressive shoulder design, enhanced noise reduction and "unrivaled longevity." Its high-depth sidewall blocks and cross-combined shoulder scoops enhance off-road traction and help prevent cuts and abraisons.

The tire also is 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter conditions, with multi-directional grooves and sipes, as well as biting block edges that provide added traction, the company said.

The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme still provides quiet and comfortable on-road performance with noise-reducing tie-bars and staged block edges, as well as mileage warranty of up to 70,000 miles.
