Ive been buying Hankook Dynapro ATMs RF10 for my vehicles for a few years now. Been great. Can sometimes get them via Walmart online for 89 bux per tire.

+1 on Hankook Dynapro ATMs. Good all around all-terrain with good winter/snow/ice characteristics, at a reasonable price. I have had the 30x9.5/r15 size of this tire on for about 2 years now in a place where winters are long, cold, frozen, and snowy. They have really performed well.

+1 I really like my Dynapros as well. I've only had them for a few months but I'm impressed with how quiet they are and their performance on ice and snow.

Just to show that I am not biased...here are my negatives on the Hankook Dynapro ATMs.
1. I wish they had just a slightly more aggressive appearance. Their ok, but they don't have that that rugged look the way BFGs or Toyos do.
2. After about 20k miles their noise level increases quite a bit. It's especially noticeable during cooler months, and on certain road surfaces. It is not enough to bother me, but they certainly are not as quiet as when they are first installed.
3. The lug spacing is perfect for holding in certain unrounded crush-and-run stone used for country roads and driveways. So a few places I go, I have to inspect the tires after to make sure I get any left-over stones out. I think all AT tires are going to have this to some degree. Rounded stones don't seem to be a problem, it is the sharp gravel that sticks, but unfortunately those are also the ones that are going to drill in and cause a problem.

Jordan, my thoughts on your points if I may:
1. I had the same thought about their appearance when I first bought them, but I've grown to appreciate their functionality to the point that I don't care as much about their appearance.
2. I've never owned an A/T tire that didn't get louder as it wears.
3. 100% agree. I have a long gravel driveway and find myself picking stones out that won't clear on their own from time to time. They hold stones more than the BFG A/T's I have on other vehicles.
I agree that they're middle-of-the-pack tires, and they are priced accordingly. I like the price/performance ratio. The more expensive options get into the realm of diminishing returns on performance for me.
