Hankook Tire's Dynapro AT2 Xtreme: When Snow Meets its Match

Slashing through slush, clawing through snow and gripping icy roads are just a few of the tasks tires are faced with when it comes to winter weather. With the winter months here, many drivers in the U.S. will be confronted with these elements, and need tires that will stand up to the conditions, and most importantly, keep them safe.
With SUVs and pickup trucks accounting for more than 70% of light truck sales, you’re probably seeing more of these vehicles-and other models of light trucks-in your bays (think CUVs, too). As a tire dealer, you’re the link between a reliable set of tires and the customer’s safety. When extreme weather hits and a customer wants a reliable set of tires for whatever weather they face, you need a tire that you can recommend to conquer the snow; the customer needs a tire that sets their vehicle free to drive in any road conditions.
With Hankook Tire’s Dynapro AT2 Xtreme, providing customers with traction and excellent snow performance has never been easier.
“Reasons customers choose different light trucks vary, so this creates a market for all different types of tire products. All-terrain product lineups must provide customers with performance requirements that meet their expectations, and enhanced snow traction is one of them,” said Crystal An, vice president and head of consumer marketing for Hankook Global.
In fact, the tire was built for toughness in all terrains. Just take a look at its design features:
With large tread blocks with biting edges, the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme provides traction when confronted with heavy snow and off-road conditions.
Its multi-directional zig-zag grooves and sipes provide snow-on-snow traction as well as water evacuation to allow drivers a smooth and reliable ride.
A specifically formulated tread compound allows the tire to maintain pliability when temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Next-generation compounding technology also gives the tire increased longevity and enhanced cut and chip resistance.
With its snow-conquering technology, the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme also earned a three-peak mountain snowflake rating for severe snow conditions. This means that the tire has passed additional snow testing to receive the three peak-mountain snowflake symbol on its sidewall. When explaining the features and benefits of the AT2 Xtreme to your customers, point this out. It will give them the peace of mind that they’re ready to confront the elements everyday.
The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme is your choice for toughness in all terrains. Available now, the tire comes in 32 sizes with additional sizes slated to be launched in 2022.

SO, WHERE'S the review? Sounds like an ad, not in impartial "review."

[@joeyoung3319]

Wait...I didn't know ESPECIALLY is pronounced with an X...! 😊

[@davediamond6518]

I like how they never show the actual tire. What are they hiding?

[@ryanthomastew]

They show the tire in stock video and imagery. This is just boilerplate marketing from Hankook.

[@TRUTHISABSOLUTE777]

Yeah and more footage of those sweet white letters please!

[@rhphotocdn]

Hopefully they're similar to the AT/M, which was a great tire, the AT2. not so much.

[@Jo-tw8kr]

Completely agree, I'm going with these xtremes because the ATM's you can still find online are stupid price for the size I need. I have high hopes as I can't say enough about the ATM, they stuck to the road like glue in any condition and performed great off road. And I got 70k miles out of them easily.

[@incredulousd9408]

Any updates? Did you try these out in the snow, I'm in the exact same position. Loved the atm

[@LandonClimbs]

​@incredulousd9408 it just snowed like 5 inches here in kansas city, im SHOCKED at how well these fucking tires grip the road in snow lol😂 its almost comical. I couldnt even get my truck to drift in the parts that were partially cleared lol. I also previously owned the at/m's but these blow those out of the water. I put close to 90k miles on those and they were great but these are a stellar performance tire. I also have the extreme variant of the at2. As its got a bulkier sidewall

Trucks a 2004 crewcab z71 silverado, with an lsd

[@bengleckl1877]

I have the regular hankook at2. Decent tire but.anybit of slush on the road and I need 4x4

[@LandonClimbs]

I have the extremes and yeah its a little weird on slush, but the fresh snow, they grip great on man. Tough to get going at first in 2wheel on that slushy shit
