Although on 4X4s the chains should be on the front wheels.

Although on 4X4s the chains should be on the front wheels.
I have been running new hankooks on my current trip
Even when not towing I note there seems to be a bit of a bulge in the back on the side but side wall pattern of the hankooks probably makes it a bit worse than it is.
While not towing I dropped the back to 38psi which may be a bit low as they are going up to 44 after a drive
I had the front on 37 and they are going up to around 40.
I have a kaymar bar and an aux tank which probably require a bit more.

In my last post re these tyres at 10,000km in I stated:
"From new these tyres had a tread depth of 10mm (nominal) and that is my start point for my wear and and tyre life comments.
At 10,000km I measured the wear and found the following:
RR @ 9mm
RF @ 8.7mm
LR @ 9mm
LF @ 8.5mm
An average wear of 1.2mm over the four tyres.
I now have 25,000km on these tyres, mostly country highway work and today rotated and measured the tyre depth and found the following:
RR 8.2mm
RF 8mm
LR 8mm
LF 8mm
An average wearof 1.24mm over the last 25,000km. This is certainly a lot less wear than I expected. My comments re the tyre performance remain as I stated last time;
"As for the tyre performance they certainly inspire confidence on the bitumen in both the wet and dry so I am really quite pleased."
Oh yes....I must say that my measurements are very scientific (not) and accurately reflect whatever the hell I was doing with that gauge thingy at the time!!!!There you have it my first 25k on these tyres.:)
Sorry Creaser I missed your post from a few months ago. I'm in Darwin and can't help you on the snow chains :cool: but I see you managed ok.

Could someone with Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 in 255/55R19 please post some photos of the tread/sidewall.
My father is trying to decide between these and the Goodyear Duratracs and I'm having trouble finding Hankook photos in the 255/55R19 size. There is a few posts with Duratrac photos found but I noticed the photos in this thread are for 18" version.
One factor is something mentioned by Graeme in another thread about tread wrap around for sidewall protection.
Thanks,
Scott
Here's one on a D4 rim on my RRV.

Thanks Graeme. Looks like some mud testing there.
When it is light, I will try to remember to take up close photos.
