Just wanted to update you guys on the Hankook's since no one seems to have any history with them and their fairly new in the offroad world.
This is what i have for you so far:
___________________________________
Ok, so i've owned the LT 295/75R16 Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 for 6 months now.
Mounted on 9/15/06
Rotated 1/18/07 i had my first tire rotation. Tires felt fine, didn't need to balance.
Now the front is starting to wobble a little. Feels like the front left. So I take
the rig in for a balance at all 4 corners.
Balancing took 9 ounces on the front left! 4-5 ounces everywhere else.
Note: Im running the factory aluminum wheels and no rock rash at all.
Now the steering wheel wobbles at a lower speed, but isn't totally gone. Too weird.
Tire wear seems normal. They dont seem to be wearing funny at all.
FR - 12.8 mm
RR - 12.2 mm
LF - 12.08mm
LR - 13.00mm
Brand new spare is 15.23mm
Mounted the tires with 175,452 on the rig.
The tires were rotated at 183,382 (yeah a hair late than should have been)
The mileage Saturday was 184,991
Started out brand new around 18-19/32
At about 15/32 now.
So i think i've burned through 1/3 of their life in 9,000 miles.
Any comments are welcome. Especially any suggestions or information regarding the 'wobble' im getting at extremely low mileage on these tires. My old GY MTR's would balance (granted with a ton of weight) even with old steel rockcrawler wheels that had dents and rock gashes.
