Just saw these today on a Jeep and looked sweet. Lots of places around locally carrying them right now ...DynoPro RT103 MT They are offered in 305/70R-16's, 295/75R16's and 315/75R16's. Looks like a mix of BF KO and Toyo MT's. I'm interested in how noisy they are, etc. Called a few places locally and 295's go for about $180/ea.

We just got a new Ford E250 van at work a few weeks back. It came from the factory with Hankook tires. I thought that was sort of interesting.

This aren't bad looking tires. I think people are going to be hearing more about Hankook tires based on what I've read. They are starting to become the OEM tire of choice on a lot of vehicles and appears they are trying to get into the off-road tire segment. They are all over eBay ...I may take a chance and try a set of Toyo M/T's. I'll try anything once :)

They are popular around here in the Hispanic community, (not being a 'ist just stating visual facts) easy to find at flea markets, very cheap tire. They may be trying to improve there quality and be a contender. I wouldn't trust that manufacture on my loaded work trucks, but I would use that offroad tire on my farm Jeep (looks very aggressive).

Thanks. That helps make my decision easier :) Hello Toyo's! :)

Yep, its hard to say stuff like that without coming off "ist" but in Houston you see alot of stuff like that and it is a fact. I have some good friends that are "hispanic" They always joke that they are not "mexican" These terms mean very different things to them.
I have a friend that put some of their street tires on his Explorer. His main decision was based on them being cheap and had a treadwear warranty. He said he figured they weren't the best, but he didn't care. They have been ok so far, but he drives slow and has a short commute. When I asked him about traction/performance he looked at me like I was talking in a foreign language. I am still not convinced I would be satisfied with a set.
Honestly, 180 a tire is not that cheap. My 265 E-rated Goodyear Silent Armor were only 185 each and they ahve a tredwear warranty.

You were looking at Toyo's I replaced my BFG's with the open country a/t and I'm real pleased with them drove 300 miles through a 2005 midwest snow storm with 6" snow on the road pulling a 14' trailer and never had a traction problem I'm sold much better them my old BFG's were.

Actually I'm going with the Toyo Open Country M/T's but I've had the Open country A/T's before and they are great tires. Very popular here in the north west because they are sold by Les Schwab tire stores ...which are practically on every corner like 7-Eleven's or other convienance store chains.
They came stock on my friends parents Kia Van
